Can Somebody Say SPRING



Last night we went to check on the COTTAGE across the county line.  As we drove back to our Prairie HOME, moisture was spitting and the windshield began to freeze.  A little here and a little there.  I was tense.  THANKFUL to be HOME.  Situations like this make me appreciate having a warm place to stay called HOME.

Late evening at HOME was a welcomed place to be.  A fire going in a fireplace would have been pleasant while sipping HOT CHOCOLATE.  Picture perfect image.




This morning once again the ground was frozen and covered with icy snow.  Grey skies and chilled.  STAY HOME.  Once again the Public Library is closed due to inclement weather.  Yesterday I did phone to see if I could order a book to borrow instead of buying it.  Is on order.

If I love it and just have to have it on my shelf then I'll purchase one to keep.  I've been wanting to read this book for a few years and just hadn't gotten around to it.  

Victorian Secrets: What a Corset Taught Me about the Past, the Present, and Myself
Book by Sarah A. Chrisman


Also asked the Librarian if they'd get Sarah's other book 
about Victorian Life.  Maybe later.

~ON THE HOME FRONT~
I finished this round of sorting through my in-laws pictures.
ROUND ONE.
More pictures to come.

I'll need to get some envelopes and boxes
for mailing pictures to my brother-in-laws.
My childrens' will be hand delivered.

It's sobering to see all the pictures of my Husband's Parents when they were so young and progressing into mature elderly people.
There's a sting to it.

I decided to go through the pile of magazines that I have kept and thin them down some more.  This truly is a time to downsize and clear out much clutter.  More to do.

A large plastic tub with paperwork has been waiting for me for nine months.  I just moved the box to the side of my easy chair so when the tele is on I'll be going through more papers.
Multi-tasking galore.

When I get this Living room tidied,
then HOPEFULLY the Office/Doll room will get a make over.
It's waiting for me.
March Project and beyond.

Striped the guest bedding.
Laundry in the works.
Waiting for better weather to trudge through.





WE ARE ONE DAY CLOSER TO SPRING.
Counting the days.

What do you do during the months where you are not able to be outside everyday?
Right now, it's paperwork.

Be blessed,

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
