100 Mile Marathon



AS HUBBY AND I WERE LOADING THE CAR WITH ALL OUR CLEANING SUPPLIES AND TOOLS, I noticed the FOR SALE sign in our front yard.  Our Realtor had placed the sign before 5 pm.  We knew the house would be listed at 5, but were too busy to notice the exact time when the Realtor placed the sign in our yard.

This was a day that we knew would come.  We started working on the last of the projects we had hoped to get done before 5 early in the day.  

The fronts of the Living room stairs that lead to the upper floor were painted.
 

The toe kick under the Kitchen cabinets was painted.

Reflector tape was placed on the newly painted Basement stairs.

Touch up polishing of the fridge was done.

Cleaning more on the large stove.

A small repair to the Kitchen wood floor took place.

Fridge cleared out.

Freezer cleaned out.

Living room closet cleaned out.

Outside Basement stairwell cleaned out.

Some sweeping done.

Tidying done with paint cans and supplies.

I think that was it.  

I was about to fall over from being fatigue.  I fell asleep in a sports chair.  Zonked.  SO tired and ready for this day to be done.  Finished.
We drove around the block and took a picture of the FOR SALE sign in the yard.  Drove through the Public Park and then headed over to our Daughter's for Supper.  Exhausted.  Completely exhausted.  We needed some Ibuprofen from Dollar General and as I was waiting in the car, our Realtor called and said that we had a looker at 6 pm.  That was fast.  Less than 50 minutes after being listed the first appointment was schedule.  

We shall see how things go.  We'll take a few days off before getting serious about unpacking our COTTAGE.  I need some time off from working so hard and I know my Husband does as well. We are both extremely tired and worn out.  This fixing up the house to sell, packing, shuffling, MOVING THINGS has been our 100 mile Marathon for two old peeps.  Time to recover and regain our strength.

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.

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
