BUNDLING BASICS

I DID BUNDLE UP as we headed across the river to RETIREMENT COTTAGE territory.  Needed to check on the cottage and wanted to hand deliver valentines to some loved ones.  It makes me smile to be out of the house for a little fresh air.  The air was more than crisp.  It was bitter cold.

The change of scenery was a welcomed sight.  I wore my parka that has fur around the hood.  I can see how uncovered fingers freeze so quickly.  NEGATIVE TEMPS are hard on the body.  We stayed warm in the car with its heater on.  This shouldn't be taken lightly because car heaters are known to go haywire in such temperatures.  Then where are you?  We have a couple of blankets in the trunk incase we need help staying warm.  I carry a pair of socks in my coat pocket for emergencies.  

We went to get some fuel for the car before venturing out of town.  At least we'd have a full tank of gas.  Our car did not want to run like normal.  It stalled a few times.  Air was needed in the tires as well.  After the car warmed up, she ran well.  Relieved.

I do not have insulated waterproof boots.  I don't know how I forget to purchase such a necessary item especially with these Kansas WINTERS.  This week it is suppose to be frigid.  Almost anywhere in the midwest, you are going to experience icy temps with snow by Sunday.

I did treat my HUSBAND a VENTI Starbucks and slice of banana bread with walnuts and pecans!  I was going to treat him after Valentines, but we needed to make a run to TOPEKA anyhow and what a nice time to have a hot drink.    

Successful trip.  Car looked over and fueled, tires aired, dropped off valentines, Starbucks treat, God's Storehouse, SAMs, drive across the prairie, HOME, unloaded, PIZZA night and a movie. 

Spending at God's Storehouse was under $9.  A pair of pretty dangling earrings, a trinket with ruby red slippers, a book on lawn care and one on health.  

SAMS spending was higher.  Emergen-C powder, also Elderberry gummies to help build up the immune system, art supplies, veggies, steak, bottled water, etc. 

Good to get out of town and good to be back HOME.   

Television time was SEASIDE HOTEL on PBS.  A 2013 danish film series with subtitles.  A first for me to binge watch 6 episodes of a DANISH series.  It was challenging to read all the subtitles throughout all 6 episodes.  I was trying to decide what the language sounds like to a lay person.  Tones of germanic language can be heard, but also sounded Japanese at times.  Chinese?  It did to me.  For lack of a better explanation, I was stumped.

The time era is set for 1928.  HOLIDAY.  I thought the seaside looked inviting and to have been able to stay a summer by the beach would be heavenly.  Interesting story line.  I will binge watch season 2 tonight.  

    




TRUMP's SECOND IMPEACHMENT TRIAL has wrapped up.  You know when you were a high school child and you could not understand how some classes you were required to take in order to receive a diploma or to get a well rounded education were needed because you thought you'd not have to use the information when out in the world, but learned along the way that you really did need the classes?  This trial effected me this way.     

I did not like High School Government class.  I cannot tell you much about my time in this class nor what the tests were like.  My attention span wasn't into the class.  I knew I had to study to pass the tests to get credit to graduate so I took the class because it was a requirement.  I didn't like it at all.  I thought it to be BORING.  Well, this impeachment trial was not boring to me.  It was informative and I liked watching the process of the trial.

Onto something else.

Onto something else.

I am onto something else.

WAY TO GO WEDNESDAY!




WAY TO GO.....it's Wednesday.  Waking to snow on the ground, the view was beautiful.  So much white I smiled at NATURE's coverup.  Much prettier than the mud the day before.  This Wednesday was embraced by watching and listening to the IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.  

At 64, I have NEVER watched so much television about impeachment.  It has been very informing and entertaining.  I have watched much about this impeachment trial, not just today.  I hope to listen to more this week if I can.  Last week-end I contacted my Senators via email.  This was interesting.  When I lived in Tulsa, I did watch some of the Clinton Trial when Mr. Clinton was being questioned.  He reminded me of a little boy who got his hand caught in the cookie jar.  

I hope there will be witnesses in this trial.

Blessings to you,

Walking In A Winter Wonderland - Dean Martin




HUMMING to myself 'Walking In A Winter Wonderland'.....catchy tune. Decided to see on youtube if this was on there and sure enough there was Dean'o singing it.  I needed some WINTER CHEER as the cold weather isn't my thing.  BUNDLE UP BUTTERCUP. So Dean was singing to me and it did cheer me up some.  

Our sewer backed up into the basement last week.  Unexpected expense.  Got that taken care of with no damage.  This morning my DEAR HUBBY said something was wrong with the main floor heater with the outside temps in the single digits.  The two misfortunes are not connected.  

He went to the hardware store to purchase a small heating unit.  This is taking the edge off of the chill in the Living room.  He's looking into the heater to see if he can fix it.  Pray he can.  

I've got to get my morning shower out of the way so I can watch the TRUMP TRIAL beginning at noon in our time zone.  Am curious how this will go.  

Too cold to go to TOPEKA today.  Will stay HOME.  
Sippin' HOT coffee.  
The best thing I can do is to stay HOME.

Today in the mail were three magazines advertisements, 3 actual  magazines, 1 jewelry sales catalog, and about 6 medical advertisements for me encouraging me to turn 65 in JULY.  This is a lot of mail for me as I seldom get so much.  

My health is improving.  Not coughing as much, but still have a scratchy throat.  DayQuil today. Only had one dose of it yesterday and I did better.  Pray health continues to improve as 6 weeks of this down time has been a downer.  


Welp, I had better take care of business.  
Blessings to you and yours,
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."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

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
