THOUGHTS ON DINING...and thoughts on the slap heard around the world


WHAT A GREAT RELIEF TO HAVE THE DINING ROOM IN ORDER.
I can celebrate and relax about this project being COMPLETED.

After a short reprieve, there are more things to do to be better organized and in order throughout the house and cottage.  
Praise God, this Dining room is DONE!
For now, our DINING ROOM is a DINING ROOM and we will continue to use it as such until we turn loose of this big house.

The color is a neutral and lighter than the dark blue that was there.  I enjoyed my dark blue Dining room for almost 5 years.  Now I will enjoy this Benjamin Moore Baja Dunes color while we live here.

I have downsized the pieces of furniture and dishes that were in this Dining room.  I have to maintain this as eventually we will be in a different house and I have no desire to have as many Dining room pieces of furniture in it as we age.  I want to keep my crystal pieces which will be in a Kitchen cabinet and the Blue Willow China will be in the antique china cabinet that once belonged to my Mom.  Everyday dishes will be housed in the Kitchen.

Dishes that I have boxed up and stored in the basement will be turned loose of within the next year.  Not only the Dining room needs downsized, the basement has to be cleared completely out.  Only a small fraction of belongings will be kept.  Good-bye this and that.

So as I thin things out at our main house, I have to take into account what will be relocated to the COTTAGE when the time comes.  I believe I can do this and be alright.  I am attached to my dishes and furniture so very much, but in order to MORE CAREFREE I have to not be so sentimental.  Yahoo.

I know that each person adjust to moves in their own way.  Depending on the age of each person with their needs determines much.  Financial dynamics contributes to the reality of a different location.  Where do we go from here?  If grieving too much for too long then what?  It steals the present day.  I cannot enjoy LIFE to the fullest when grieving day after day.  The 'I WISH SYNDROME' gets in the road of a HAPPY LIFE.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG
TIS APRIL and we're inching our way to milder temperatures.  I was in Marion working in my Mom's apartment when we woke to snow covered automobiles.  The roads were good so we were able to return to Newton to see my MOM in the hospital who is recovering from surgery for a hip fracture.

She'll turn 90 on APRIL 9th and we will celebrate.
Sister and I will take turns staying with her as we transition her to either Assisted Living or LONG TERM CARE which is a fancy name for a NURSING HOME.  No longer will she be living on her own in this apartment.  I pray she will be able to get a single room without a roommate when she settles in the next location.

I get the feeling she will not go very easily.  I talked to her last night and she said, "We shall see."

I have some HOMEWORK TO DO as well as my sister and brother are working at figuring her new living arrangements. Mom will have to downsize, downsize, downsize.  If she is fortunate to settle in Assisted Living, some of her furniture will go with her.  If she settles into a Nursing Home, the furniture will have to go except perhaps a recliner and chest.  Some wall space for hanging some pictures and some framed pictures on a nightstand.  A few nick-knacks.  

Mom has many Nic-knacks at this time.  Her small apartment is overflowing with Nic-knacks.  The tops of end tables are completely covered.  Her clothing closet is crammed full with her lovely clothing, boxed shoes and purses.  Her coat closet is crammed full.  The kitchen cabinets are crammed full of dishes, glasses, and cookware.

If MOM goes into a Nursing Home, the furniture will not be needed.  If Assisted Living then only a small amount will be allowed.  

Truly, I am thinking about her situation which is contributing to my own thoughts about what's needed to live well as I am elderly as well.  I can honestly say...I am doing far better about turning loose of much as we continue to downsize.  Being so sentimental about wedding gifts given to us 48 years ago needs to be held in perspective.  The gifts helped us start setting up our home way back when and served us well.  I have very fond memories of loved ones and friends that helped us.  Now, I have to turn loose of so much that we have purchased along the way....and the neat thing about this is.....I can do this and am ready.  Away I go.

Yes, there are many papers to look at, shred, pitch or file.  I am doing it.  Now I desire to work even faster getting it done.  You go girl.  When I get to say,  I did go girl, it will be a Hugh accomplishment for me.  HUGE.

Now, what's for dinner in the Dining room?
I have to get back to eating SALADS, so I will fix 5 Bean Salad on a bed of Spring Greens with Grapefruit being dessert for SUPPER.

Lunch was BRUNCH.  Scrambled eggs, diced potatoes and bacon.  Getting ready for a HOT MATCHA TEA.  Yummers.
Resting more today after spending time with my 89 year old Mom in the Hospital and a full day at a TRACK MEET.  Granddaughter participated and she placed!  Got a sunburn and walked about throughout the day where my feet don't want to work today.  Very proud of her winner or not.

LAUNDRY is calling my name so I will work on it this week-end.  Washy washy wash in the new Blue Cheer.  Rinsy, rinsy, rinse in the water over here.  Smell that.  Doesn't that smell good?  haha.  Hubby will recall this joke. 


 

This past week I have thought about the slap heard around the world dealing with the Academy Awards Ceremony where actor Will Smith went to the platform to slap presenter Chris Rock for what ever reason Smith thought was a good reason to slap him.  After Smith slapped Rock, Smith immediately turn around and strutted back to his seat with a smile on his face knowing that Rock would not attack or put up a fight with him in front of television cameras.  Smith sat down and began yelling profanities at Rock.  

Several things I saw awkward was that no one came to Mr. Rock's help after being assaulted in front of millions in the television arena as well as those who were actually physically present.  Mr. Rock continued to present the Oscar to the Academy's choice of a winner.  Where was security?

Instead of Mr. Smith being escorted out of the ceremony, he was allowed to stay without consequence at the moment.  If Smith wanted to assault another person near by, he could have and I suppose there'd be no security to protect the victims for that as well.  He was asked to leave?  He refused.  He was allowed to accept his Best Actor Oscar in a motion picture.

I listened to a program about this and it was said that Smith was awarded an Oscar for Best Actor in a motion picture and the other incident with Rock was after being the winner of the Oscar.  He should receive the Oscar, but should be banned from ever attending another Academy Award Ceremony.  He has his Oscar and will probably be allowed to keep it.   

Smith resigned from the Academy.  I suspect he was given the option of RESIGNING or charges would be presented against him and off to court he'd go?

As for Chris Rock, he is not pressing charges at this time for assault and I suspect he won't as there's a bigger agenda to all of this HOLLYWOOD stuff where there is a cabal that runs things and you do not get to be a part of this HOLLYWOOD THING unless you participate with their guidelines and rituals.

When thinking about the movie studios I understand that in the beginning of the big motion picture studios they were owned by godless people that promoted what they foresaw would sell to the masses. They referred to these people as dogs because they were not of a certain ethical heritage and because the owners of the studios were of a certain ethical group, the masses were at their disposal to do what ever they wanted to them.  Getting sexual favors from the actors and actresses was the norm.  The owners either took others by force or the people wanting to be involved in the movie industry freely gave themselves to the owners of the studios.  Sexual favors for the big whigs was the price to pay to advance their careers.  Including the underaged.

The sexual appetites of the ungodly owners of this ethical group were fed.  Sodom and Gomorrah?  Even if one was of this ethical group, ungodly sexual favors were and still are given to advance careers or get immediate gratification for personal desires. 

Ungodly actions to get their faces on the screen or be a part of the action putting on the show?        

As the years passed, the next wave of weirdness came and the godless owners continued to dishonor a holy God's instructions about godly living.  The subject matters of the movies became more graphic or suggestive for the viewing public whether they were from the same ethnic group or those they considered to be dogs. 

Whether the actors or crew members were willing to do whatever to stay involved with this capal has not changed.  They were and are still willing to participate in ungodly practices so their faces are on the screen or they are involved in the nuts and bolts of the industry.  

Same thing has happened for television.  History shows that the same ethical group runs the shows.  The show must go on at the expense of goy/goyim. 

So if a Will Smith decides to punch you in the face, you may be at the mercy of the ones running the show.  You may be instructed to be punched in the face and not press charges to raise the ratings or encourage the counter culture.  The companies that are supporting the movie industry may be telling you that you will do this or you'll do that because it is good for the ratings.  The wife of the one that committed the assault may laugh at you with delight for making her dreams come true.  

So was Will Smith a part of this well thought out drama to raise ratings, was he a part of being brain washed by his present squeeze, or was it something else altogether?  Are we being manhandled by the movie industry by way of an assault?  With Pfizer coming out with new medicines for Alopecia patients, is this part of the plan to give Jada Pinkett Smith attention about her supposedly Alopecia where she is losing hair and medicines for Alopecia?  After all Pfizer is one the companies supporting the Academy Awards.

I'm not making light of anyone who truly suffers from Alopecia.  BUT Jada still has a fine head of hair even if she has it shaven off.  Where are her large bald spots where the Alopecia is attacking her head hair?  Even with her head shaven, there are no known huge patches where the hair is completely missing and skin showing.  Her five o'clock shadow doesn't show bald patches at all, but a fine head of hair stubble.

Viewing photos of others with Alopecia, they have huge patches of hair missing to where you see hairless skin.  Not Jada.

Chris Rock's GI JANE joke was about Jada appearing in a GI JANE 2 movie.  Jada's shaved head looks just like Demi Moore's character in the GI JANE movie with her shaven head in which you can still see a full head of hair stubble...looks very similar to Jada Smith's shaven head.  Hair stubble is still noticeable all over Jada's head.  All over.  There are no ugly bald patches at all.  So does she actually have bald spots?  If so, where are they?  Maybe a thin, narrow line on the top, but no ugly patches.  None.  Nada.  

When looking at the top of Jada's head where she once pointed out a thin, narrow line where she had lost her hair, could not be seen the night of the Oscars.  Zoom in on the videos when she is looking downward. No hair loss.  Say what?

Jada and Will are multi-millionaires.  The movie industry has been very good to them.  Very good.  Their marriage is not a christian one and their children have not been reared in a christian home.  A Hollywood one for sure.  With adultery concerning Jada's extra marital affairs, they refer to this adultery as an entanglement and not adultery at all.  As for Will's extra partners is what if not adultery.  Their marriage is not a godly one.  Perhaps a business arrangement?

It's one thing to get on stage when it's not one's time slot to slapping the presenter and turning around with a smile on the face before returning to their seat THEN getting hot under the collar yelling profanities at the presenter with no security showing up on the scene to protect the presenter from further violence or ushering the attacker off the premises to where the wife of the attacker is laughing at the presenter AFTER getting slapped.  That's one thing, but the drama continues as the attacker apologizes on social media and resigns from the Academy.  WHO's running the show?

When being consoled by fellow actors during station break, Will Smith has a look of sorrow on his face.  He looks zoned out.  How much mind control does the Academy, the motion picture moguls, the cabal have over Will Smith, Jada Smith and Chris Rock?  Who pays their bills?  Who pulls their strings? 

WAS THIS A SLAP RITUAL SEEN AND HEARD AROUND THE WORLD part of a humiliation ritual that members do in order to increase their power when being a part of the 
ill um in at i  kingdom??? 

Jesus came for the sick.  Jesus came for people like Jada Smith, Will and Chris.  He is available for all.   Entanglements, adultery, liars, the capal, the ungodly...HE came for the broken hearted and the sick.  He is the great physician, the great I AM.  HOLLYWOOD and their delusions is not the great I AM.

That little statue called OSCAR is not going to save anyone's soul or heal their diseases.  When a clique hands out awards to those in their club, it's patting each other on the back time.  No one has their soul's saved by Oscar.  No one.  What ever their industry deems as proper, is what they will do.  Hello Will.  Next time it will be someone else by a different name preforming a ritual.  Same agenda.  Different name.  They rule the industry, but they do not own everyone's soul.  They can contribute to mind control over the everyday person and are successful in suggesting ungodly values to the masses.  
Very successful.  

The different avenues of the media is extremely powerful and entertaining.  I love watching a great movie and spending time in front of the television.  Can I turn a blind eye to the actual character of the actors, the industry moguls, the cabal where ugly rituals are preformed on a daily basis to empower themselves or brain wash others?

Then there's the church industry.  Another post for a different day. 

Whether or not Will Smith will slap me and walk away with a smile on his face then yell profanities at me while sitting in his seat where no security guards assist me....I don't foresee this happening.  What I do see happening with the movie and the television industry, is a type of slapping by their ungodly suggestions in the movies, television programs, computer blurbs, newspaper articles, murder, violence, stealing, adultery, bed hopping, fornication presented as an attractive lifestyle, homosexuality as a norm, sexual perversion as a acceptable lifestyle, sacred body parts being exposed to all, gender confusion, you can be whatever you want to be, you can do whatever you want including promoting a counter culture whatever that is.

I do not have to watch their suggestions.

Can I still have an opinion?  Is it possible to have an opinion?  
Do I have to ever watch another movie or television program again?
Do I have to believe everything I read?  Do I have to believe everything that I have been told?  No.  So simple.  No.  

AS FOR MY 'LIL DINING ROOM ON THE PRAIRIE...I am blessed to have one where I do not have to entertain any of this information or a slap heard around the world.  Please pass the butter.

D O N E !!!

THERE'S TIME TO HANG PICTURES, A MIRROR AND A CLOCK UP if we so desire.  The DINING ROOM is painted!  Wow!  So pleased of how it turned out. Ceiling, crown molding, walls, wainscoting, baseboard and some caulking done. 


D O N E.  Hallelujah.  It was a long time in the making, but she's HISTORY NOW.  Praise the LORD.  I started last Summer on clearing out two curio cabinets full of Blue Willow China.  Then clearing out an antique china cabinet full of crystal.  I boxed up the crystal and took it over to the COTTAGE.  I filled the antique china cabinet with the Blue Willow.  The curio cabinets have been moved completely out of the house.  

We had to shuffle the rest of the furniture about the room to paint it. One side of the room got painted and when it was done the furniture was moved to the other side.  Now each piece of furniture is in position.  

L O V E  IT. 👴 💋 👵 

💑  Hubs and I love it.  It's prettier in person than the pictures show. Maybe my Dining room isn't photogenic, but I'm the one smiling showing off my teeth.  While hubby completed the finishing touches, I shredded paper.  I'm closer to being done than the day before, but still have a long ways to gooooooooo.

NOW, I will spend some quiet time in the Dining room sitting at the table having a nice HOT cup of tea, enjoying the room. 

Some tea will do nicely,
🥤~d 👵

SUNDAY SERMONETTE: Thou Shalt Not Dilly-Dally




SUNDAY IS HERE.  Hopefully a day of rest.  No church service today for me.  On line is available.  So are a multitude of programs that can be watched anytime of the day or night.  This is one element that is really nice about the internet and having a home computer.  Still can listen to a recording, listen to the radio or watch the tele, but the internet can far reach for me.  

Some places of worship are returning to gathering together as a body.  Outdoor services are a plenty.  Tents available much like the tent meetings of old.  When indoors, there is concern of sitting too close to one another.  

Our neighboring community ignored social distancing during Fair Time.  I was surprised they had their Fair this year.  Word is out the virus struck and today the sheeple are ill.  Developing into what is called community spread.  

It will get worse before it gets better.  Numbers are climbing.  When living in small communities when the word gets out that there is community spread, you usually know the people it has made ill so you know the stats are true and not made up.   

If people choose to ignore the warnings they may get ill.  Not until it happens to them will they believe?  You know that saying you can lead a horse to water but you cannot force them to drink. It applies to humans as well.  Sometimes humans are more like donkeys.  Stubborn and mule headed.  Some will not heed the warnings and they do not take cover to protect themselves which leads to not so nice consequences.
      

                                                                    Proverbs 22:3 KJV

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: 
but the simple pass on, and are punished.


In HOPES of a Blue Ribbon is not worth getting sick over.


Getting ready for the week to come.  Stepping outside one is quickly engulfed by humidity and heat.  It feels more like HOUSTON HEAT than Kansas weather.  I remember when I did live in Houston that some Summer months it was as hot at 3 in the morning as it were 3 in the afternoon.  During the Summer months, there was no cooling off during the evening and early hours of the day.  This was hot.  

I missed how Kansas cooled off during the night and it was bliss to open the windows or have electric fans suck the cooler air into the house to cool things off.   Bliss.

Standing on the Kitchen porch today is like entering a sauna.  No breeze.  Stuffy and difficult to breathe.  Back inside, the fans are running helping to circulate air which helps keep the body comfortable.

The Weatherman is predicting RAIN on Monday.  Welcomed rain.  This Summer has had it's fair share of rainstorms.  A wonderful phenomenon to have on the Prairie.  The scent of Kansas rain is sometimes unique having a pleasant aroma to breathe in.  Refreshing.

This past week I went inside Walmart to buy bluejeans.  Having much on clearance, I quickly shopped and did not dilly-dally.  It's been a while since I had been in the Walmart store.  Months.  One of the main door entrances were locked as to encourage shoppers to all enter on the other side of the store.  When at that entrance, security was monitoring shoppers to enter through one door as those exiting came out of the same entrance just a different door.


I saw no rioting or protesters.  

Inside on the floor were decals of traffic flow arrows pointing the way to go.  When I did get to the blue jean section, the dressing rooms were off limits due to COVID.  I purchased two pair of jeans and will use my home as the fitting room.  If needed I can return items which means an additional visit.    

Shopping for about 30 minutes was too long.  Twas hot inside with no air moving.  The inside of the car was a retreat for an old woman like me.  Mask off and air on.  The drive HOME couldn't have come quick enough.



The rest of AUGUST will have a concentrated effort to dust the inside of each room of our HOME.  The Kansas dust is everywhere causing frequent dustings.  Making headway on filing paperwork.  I pray that I can get to the bottom of this burdensome task.  Inching along on the new TV room.  Bills taken care of.  Hubby continues to work at rebuilding the screened in porch as it was falling a part.  Will plant some Mums.



    
We'll drill some holes in this galvanized tub, adding healthy soil to plant mums in.  Autumn is just around the corner and MUMS add some FALL CHARM when decorating.

We purchased some mums and they are about to open up with flowers.




This week the laundry will get attention.  The rooms tidied.  Time to think and meditate.  Some do not need QUIET TIME.  I crave it.



QUIET MOMENTS in the Dining room....



God bless and all the best,

NEW Dining room Is An OLD Dining room




Hello from my corner of the world to yours.
I seem to always be shuffling things....guess that is just part 
of working at getting things the way we want as we morph right along.  

Our $10 Buffet and $28 Parlour Chair

 We knew that company was coming for Labor Day Week-end,
so out came a turkey from the freezer and we got into gear 
to transform our NEW Dining room into a functioning one.


 I say NEW Dining room because our old one is a staging area 
as we thin out our THINGS that make me smile.
ORIGINALLY, I believe that this NEW one was the actual Dining room in 1885  
so that makes it an OLD DINING ROOM.

Eventually this Dining room will become our Blue Willow 
Themed Dining room with blue and white walls with white curtains.
The embossed wallpaper is just waiting for the human touch 
to hang it in our new dining room.  

I have gone round and round about wallpapering this room.
Finally have peace about it and am making plans to paper before  
THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS  
arrive.

Now a days our NEW Dining room was our Family room 
or what others might call THE DAY ROOM.
Our Formal Parlour is retired for now and has become our NEW FAMILY ROOM.  
This was a toughy for me as I have LOVED 
my eye candy room for 9 and a half years.



From this to this:



We cussed and discussed what way we are going to go 
as we enter into THE PHASING INTO RETIREMENT.

My Parlour Sofa is covered up over in the corner 
of our NEW Family room waiting until our Master Bedroom is completed 
and then it will venture upstairs into the Master Suite.
The Wing Chairs are being used in our NEW Dining room.

I want to have at least one Candle Light Meal 
for my Husband and I using the Wing Chairs 
before they disappear into the upstairs Bedroom.

One of my FAVORITE SPECIAL PLACES to dine has big chairs in their Dining room 
and I thought it would be wonderful for us to have at least one special meal together in our NEW Dining room using our big chairs.

As we progress and morph along on our house, 
one of the bedrooms which is now our junk room/spare room
will become a Parlour where my Doll Collection will live.  
I don't want to hold my breath until this happens.....it may be a while until this transforms.

For NOW
we have CREATED a Casual Family room
and Formal Dining room 
with a spruced up Kitchen in the making
and a Master Bedroom being PAINTED as I speak.
A new ceiling has gone in the bedroom 
and needs one more coat of paint.
An additional window will be installed and plaster repair to walls.
Can't wait for the crown molding to go up.
~grins~





 Mother's China Cabinet and Grandma's Sideboard are rearranged into the NEW Dining room to use.  
Since these pictures have been taken, we have already shuffled these two pieces about the room.  

One of these days I hope to have a beautiful Dining room table with at least 6 matching chairs and China Cabinet.  
Mom's and Grandma's pieces will go elsewhere in my old rock house.  Gotta PLAN.

Doing my research and put my prayer request in for such a delicacy. 

 TURKEY DINNER blessed and served 
at 6 PM on a Saturday.
Looks like a Rehearsal Dinner for THANKSGIVING to come.

Please let Martha Stewart know that this was 
a ALL partially HOME-MADE meal.



Turkey 
(We HUNTed for and bought this Dillons Turkey already to bake.  
No hunting license needed.  I used a store bought baking bag to bake this handsome Turkey)
Dinner Rolls with Butter (Store bought)
Relish Tray with Pickles and Olives (Store bought)
Celery (Picked from the Grocers refrigerated section)
Baby Carrots (Store bought and already bagged)
Waldorf Salad 
(Whipped to perfection in my personal Kitchen 
with all store bought ingredients)
Strawberries (Store bought)
Mashed Potatoes with Gravy 
(Hubby whipped real potatoes into a mash and prepared HOME-MADE Gravy)
Dressing (Prepared right in my Kitchen)
Green Beans 
(Store bought and seasoned with store bought butter)
Corn (Store bought)
Mac 'n Cheese  
(Packaged but prepared with my loving hands in my own Kitchen)
Fresh Brewed Iced Tea
(Store bought bags)
Coffee
(Store bought beans already ground)
Banana Pudding
(All made by my loving hands and store bought ingredients...I did not milk a cow, 
but no animals were hurt during this time of preparing Banana Pudding.)











 We all ate well if I do say so myself...
Self, I say we all ate really well.
Blessings to you,

Like This Dining room


I like this Dining room.

The white painted paneling on bottom portion of wall 
with upper portion wallpapered appeals to me.
Hardwood floors and probably high ceilings.
I so love high ceilings.

This is the type of decorating that I hope to imitate 
when we get around to embellishing our Formal Dining room. 

I grew up in a cracker box 
where there was more love than space and
there was no such thing as high ceilings.
Mom covered our hardwood floors with carpet.

At present, my Dining room looks like a warehouse 
as the Kitchen is being revamped.  
Trying to stay focused. 
My attitude needs refreshed.
it's stinkin' 

Over the week-end,  Husband was down on his hands and knees 
 installing hardy backer board on top of old worn out and ugly linoleum floor.  
He laid some tile and it's looking nice.

I am looking forward to having a Dining room once again with a FUNCTIONING KITCHEN.  
That will be the day!


Monday, I had the day off.

Lil Miss had a tummy ache 
so Daughter stayed HOME with her.
Surprise.....whatever will I do?
Should have put my feet up as I rested.
My feet were swollen.

It's been a while.
Perhaps they will go back to normal size tomorrow.
Nutritionist Judy Lindberg McFarland   
suggest taking 160 mg to 200 mg of VITAMIN B6
to combat edema or water retention.
    Suppose to help with tension as well.  


this is a beautiful picture to me




 
Between being on my feet, 
the heat, 
not drinking enough water, 
sitting for a long time in the car, 
sitting still doing paperwork and typing,
my feet let me know about it.    


....instead of looking like this,
they looked more like this:


Remember what FORREST GUMP said about his shoes...
they tell you a lot about where you're going.
Where you've been.

My FEET do the same thing.


 If I have to choose between what Forrest says about shoes 
and a box of chocolates, I choose the chocolates. 


My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. 
You never know what you're gonna get."'




But since I don't have to pick and choose,
I'll just enjoy this 1994 movie all the way through.
The songs along with the events and people that are highlighted in the movie 
bring so many memories to mind about my childhood.

To date, 
it's one of my favorite movies that I've seen as an adult.
 
 
 From what I understand, 
this chocolate statement is one of the top sayings 
from a motion picture of all times.



Till next time,
d

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.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom

and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

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
