'Life Just Got A Little Easier' Hot Chocolate Mix
Kansas Winters here in the Flinthills can be so cold that you have to find ways to stay warm while in your Home. Sipping on a hot beverage while surfing the web/net can be a relaxing SPORT.
Hubby has a secret recipe for Hot Chocolate...so I can't give it away. Sorry. Just one of those things!
But 'Life Just Got A Little Easier' Hot Cocoa Mix that my Mom has shared with me makes a delicious mix that you just add hot water to and create a Gourmet Hot Drink for those cold days that you need a little something to warm you up. It's a bit rich.
As a child, I drank this Hot Cocoa when our Family went camping in Colorado for Vacation. Chilly in Colorado! Fond Memories to enjoy. Along with the camp fire and fixing a gooey delight with toasting marshmallows on a stick...sleeping on the ground in a bedroll inside a tent...mac and cheese suppers...playing with pinecones to make miniature villages...fishing in a creek...looking at the stars.
Back in January 1992 after my husband was laid off from work, we moved from Texas to a small Kansas Town. It was so cold in the little rental house that we crammed ourselves into. Special entertainment that Winter was watching the televised Olympics Games held in France. I remember that the Metals were made of crystal instead of metal. Hum...I thought that was odd. A Gold Metal was no longer gold...crystal isn't gold. Oh well.
We'd watch the televised evening events bundled up in blankets in our little Livingroom sipping this Hot Cocoa in front of our television. The bad reception was beyond fussy...and there wouldn't be any money spent on cable, so we did our best to watch what we could and stay current on the 1992 Winter Olympics Games!
HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
Ingredients
8 quart box of powdered milk
2 pound box Nestle Quick
1 (6 oz.) jar Coffee Mate
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Mix ingredients together and store in glass jar or plastic tub until ready to use.
Add hot water to 1/4 c of mixture in mug, stir and serve.
This easy recipe makes plenty of mix to have ready to go and on hand for future usage.
Blessings!

Wild West Wednesday and Banking
Hi there! It's Wednesday and here at HomeHaven we're kicking up our heels and revisiting the 1880's Wild West by spending some time at Wichita's Old Cowtown Museum. Today, we're going to check out the BANK to decide if we should continue 'socking away' our money or stashing it here.
This particular Bank had her own CAT. Shouldn't all good Banks have their own cat to enjoy? At first I thought the cat was a stuffed toy, but then this one began to move and stretch. Not a typical prop.
So glad you're visiting and hope you'll say howdy by leaving a comment.
With Banking business completed for the day...it's back to entering the wild west world out there. Thanks for spending some time with me! Have a great day and may your February be warm.
You're precious and have great value. You're worth more than gold and the Cat's MEOW!
God Bless you today,
~Deanna~

Dear Friend, What will the month of February have in store for you?A new Grandson will be arriving sometime around the 10th. Valentine's Day awaits. A Daughter-In-Law will turn 30. A Grandson will celebrate being 3 years old. Paying a huge heating bill. Paying Auto Insurance. Prepping the Family Room walls for wallpapering. Starting on Tax Preparations. Cleaning out the spare room. Making chocolate covered pretzels. Working on paperwork in general. Blogging. Praying. Fasting. Visiting Family. A chocolate on my Sweet Heart's pillow.
The cold chill that comes with winter weather outside of HomeHaven will be warmed by a mixture of excitement with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Spring is one day closer and I think this is great. Have a sweet day and don't forget to visit with the LORD about life. The Author and Finisher of our FAITH desires our attention. He cares about my well being and HE cares about you.

Flowers
Home at Home Haven today was brightened and refreshed with beautiful flowers.Please join me in some time to admire these lovelies and think about God's goodness.
Praise the LORD for He is worthy to be PRAISED.
Time spent in prayer and reading the Bible is time well spent. Praying for our families and others, our country, our political officers, our elected officials, our military and law enforcement personnel is time well spent. Praying for revival.
Take time to smell the roses and God Bless you,
~Deanna~

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
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.
