STICKER SHOCK AT THE MAT, LOW-CARB MEALS and HOMESTEADS TO SWOON OVER

👗👕🩳 AFTER REARRANGING MY DAY DUE TO THE WEATHER, I finally made it to the Laundry-Mat late in the evening to get caught up on the laundry.  BUT I had a change of plans when I saw the prices on their machines.  $4.oo a load is higher than $1.5o.  Last time I went to the mat, it was a buck fifty.

STICKER SHOCK happened so I had to decide which dirty laundry would return HOME with me where I would use my own machines.  I stuffed one machine full with socks and undies.  Went over to their jumbo size machines that charge $6 a load which is like two machines saving $2 a load.  Saved $4 doing it this way.

I loaded the JUMBO machines with T-shirts.  Boy...we have the T-shirts.

5 machines altogether to dry with the prices the same as before.  Good deal.

We watched a 2021 movie while waiting for the machines to get done then folding what we could. AMERICAN UNDERDOG, the story about Kurt Warner.


HAVING SEEN THE MOVIE BEFORE didn't stop me from watching it again.  When an underdog does well it makes me happy.

Drove HOME.  I was actually tired and knew that I wouldn't have any trouble falling asleep.  I welcomed the sleep.

Waking more energized, I began my day and have plans to go for my mile walk in the afternoon before another thunder storm arrives.  This week the weather is turbulent and unpredictable.

ON THE INTERNET.  FREE TIME allows me to research health issues and FOOD amongst other subjects like gardening on a small scale.  Knowing that these plants help with bugs can be useful, huh?



TYPOs.  OOPS.  Jumbled names.  On the 5-Gallon line, cucumbers are labeled lettuce.  10-GALLON line, the Cabbage on the far right isn't broccoli.  Broccoli next to it on the left is called beans.  Corn isn't mentioned on the 15-GALLON container.  Just to give an example of what can be grown in containers for a patio garden.


With needing to eat more fish, this avocado tuna salad might be a nice change.







WANTING TO GET MORE IDEAS ON LOW CARB MEALS...

The images will help me come up with combination meals such as I am not accustomed to eating.  I know from my upbringing that I don't eat enough fruit.  The variety wasn't there as a kid and to this date I still have to remind myself to eat more fruit like blueberries.




 









I love cottage cheese and will be using more of it in our meals.  Started scrambling eggs with cottage cheese in it.  Makes a creamy meal.

Juice idea.


Gardening Homestead ideas


As for the next few pictures, I think these are A1 as there are no roads leading up to the house to park a car.  The chickens run free and would be in the gardens eating potatoes which are poisonous to chickens.  It is for the best that chickens not be up on the porches because they use everywhere as their toilet.  Still I think the pics are pleasant and show what someone could do.





Blessings and may life be good.

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
a house is built,
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
