Oh DRAT! I have had to start taking some meds for high blood pressure. Cinnamon in coffee is suppose to help naturally lower our blood pressure. Please pass the cinnamon. Thanx for stopping by for a visit...Please join me for a fine cup of warm tea or if you like some Java or fruit juice. The week-end was relaxing and I feel really great that we have been
SpRiNg ClEaNiNg this SpRiNg!!! Spring cleaning...Getting some results.
THAT'S satisfying.Soon there will be pink geraniums on the porch. A favorite.
Lord willing they will grow and sport beautiful blossoms to enjoy through out the late Spring, Summer and early Fall. This year I think I will try to house these geraniums through out the Winter in the Mechanical Room. That's a ways away.
This past week-end my hubby won some
Brownie POINTS by hanging a wooden shelf that's been revamped from an old Eastlake Dresser Mirror, an old wooden magazine/paper rack, more pictures, changed out light bulbs, did yard work and tended to the Airedales. He's amazing when he applies himself.
What a great Blessing.
We watched some Saturday Night PBS television of Lark Rise To Candleford...an adaptation of Flora Thompson's memoir of her Oxfordshire childhood. Have you seen it? I'm enjoying it.
ON SUNDAY Hubby and I did some dreaming about how to redo our Kitchen when the time comes...it was fun and we walked away from Loews with some ideas to think on. Going to possibly install a tin ceiling in our little kitchen that will mimic a VINTAGE old fashioned look with a hand rubbed bronze color to it, white cabinets with rubbed bronze hardware, pretty white sink with rubbed bronze fauchet, new counter tops that will match the new tile that will be laid...can't wait, but have to. Dreaming together helps if you're on the same page about it!We bought 10 watt Chandelier light bulbs that make all the difference in the Diningroom. It sure tones down the lighting to set a relaxed mood. So pleased and it's wonderful. Feels relaxed and feeds the room with a warmth that we like. This week the chandelier will need cleaned. That will be an accomplishment.The kitchen fan needs cleaned as well. I hope to get this done as Lil Junior Miss naps today. I'm still boxing up items that I have no place to display or store until the new kitchen cabinets get built. Soon the table will be cleared. Another AAAHHHHHHH moment.Doing laundry today. Good 'ole Wash Day. Paid some bills by telephone...this was actually nice. So convenient and fast. I need fast at something these days. It seemed like Easter came and went by so fast that I'm still waiting for it to soak in. Speakin' of Easter...did you wear an
Easter Bonnet??? I didn't. Wish I had.
Before Easter I hoped to get this done...take a picture of my Granddaughter dressed in one of her Momma's childhood Easter Dresses and Bonnet that a doll wears these days. Maybe just maybe I can get this done sometime during the month of April. Pictures to follow.
I'll finish this post with a parade of hats. Wouldn't it be something to return to an age where hats were expected when we dressed up to go out for a formal event or just to pal around? For now...I'll just think about it with fond memories.
God Bless,~Deanna~ having fun at HomeHaven on the Kansas Prairies
