THIS SATURDAY SUMMER OFFICIALLY BEGAN. Today, it arrived and I am doing my best to soak it up and let it sink in that SUMMER is here. Tomorrow is Father's Day. I have been thinking about how to treat my Honey for the day. I have a card. Think we'll go for a drive. Maybe risk a STARBUCK's COFFEE from the window. Watch a paid for movie of his choice. Should I give him a back rub? I think he would like this.
We have avoided entering into places of business and for a while I will continue to do this until I let my guard down and decide to relax a bit more. I am going to wear my mask and gloves when in public. I will avoid large crowds of people.
SUMMER TIME will be spent at HOME. I will visit tourist places via internet for now. I can study up and make an agenda as to where to go and when. The best time of the year to tour. Etc.
I want to visit the White House. I did not get to when we visited Washington DC way back when. We drove by it and when I saw the house, I had to ask, "Is that The White House?" It appeared so much smaller than I thought it would look like. My Husband did try to get tickets to tour, but we were to late in the day at the time and didn't go back. We visited part of the Smithsonian Institute. The Lincoln Memorial. Walked the area by the reflection pool with the cherry blossom trees. Saw the Vietnam Memorial. The Washington Monument. Spent the night at Howard Johnson's across the street from the Watergate fiasco. I wonder if my children remember any of it.
I'd like to return and spend more time there when the weather is cooler but not during this unrest that is happening and not during this pandemic. Not sure when I will if ever get to return. I would love to see more of the sights.
I have spent the afternoon virtual touring Mt. Vernon via internet.
Fantastic sight to visit. Very informative link.
Blessings to you,

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.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

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
