Getting Away



For a few days I ventured away from my MESS AT HOME to have some ALONE time.  Much needed rest and praying time.  I did pray.  Bought a journal.  Prayed and prayed some more late into the hour.  Early morning hours.  Rested.  Slept.  

But first~
It was a busy few days leading up to the week-end.  A quick trip to Saint Louis for Grandparents Day at Grandson's school.  ZOOM ZOOM.  Spent the night and on the road again.  ZOOM ZOOM.  Step Grandson's Prom on Saturday.  Grand-daughter's water Baptism on Sunday. 

OFF I went to have an alone time drive to Cracker Barrel for late afternoon meatloaf lunch with baked carrots and boiled cabbage.  I wanted to check out their pretty blouses, but in the Topeka area these blouses were gone.  I had been to Wichita's Cracker Barrel earlier in the month in which I saw the most beautiful blouses.  Bonkers......I should have gone ahead and purchased a few of them to update my aging wardrobe.

A regret.  When I see clothing that strikes my fancy and have the funds I should go ahead and purchase.  Not sure when the next shipment of pretties will come in.  Shucks.  Patience and more patience.  Let it go and keep going on.



Checked into the 4 Point by Sheraton.  Comfortable.  SO comfortable.  I prayed for hours.  In the morning I would have a semi-spa date with myself, shower, shampoo my hair, air dry hair then use a ceramic heating device for hair from FAMILY DOLLAR to straighten my curly hair.


SIMPLY STRAIGHT and it worked.


Husband met up with me and 
we had a heart to heart time.
LUNCH and COFFEE in Seneca, KS. 
at the Cornerstone Coffee Haus.



Enjoyed every minute inside the antique building.


AFTERWARDS
the Antique Shop called BUGGY DAYS
caught my eye and we spent a few minutes in the store.
We didn't buy anything although I did see a few things I wouldn't mind having.  Another time.





On our way back to HOME,
we stopped off at Frankfort's ELSIE GRACES GIFT SHOPPE.
Always fun to look.


AT HOME now,

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.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
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
