My $20 QUILT



Kansas rain today and chilly weather make wrapping up in a homemade quilt appealing! Sipping on HOT coffee with Half & Half creamer is a favorite that warms me up since it's nippy inside this 'ole rock house. Natural lighting is streaming in through the window. The sky is grey, the birds are chirping and my sweet husband picked a rose from the backyard rose bush for me. The wild rose came from a Climbing Prairie Rose Bush. A relaxing start to this day.




At a Estate Sale I bought this cheery $20 Quilt and happily brought her home...washed on a gentle cycle then air dried. She is in great shape, no tears, no stains. A SwEeT purchase if you ask me.





On this beautiful day, I am reminded that God loves people and desires us to personally know Him through His Son Jesus as our personal Saviour. To know Him through His written word and be filled with His Holy Spirit. May He wrap His love around you like a cozy and comfy homemade quilt.


2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.


Sweet day to you,

American Day To Share

With a house full of Guest last Saturday our Saturday went something like this...Breakfast was prepared early and waiting for others to eat when they arose from their slumber. Intentionally we encouraged our Guest to sleep in and get rested. Breakfast was potatoes with smoked sausage and scrambled eggs. Fresh blackberries, raspberries, walnuts and pecans. Coffee and Apple Juice to drink. Look what Dunkin' Donuts Coffee does to Tinman.





Mid-morning coffee and then a light Lunch because Supper was going to be a big AMERICAN STEAK at Puffy's Steak House in Maple Hill, Kansas. We have a treadmill in the Familyroom. Tatyana asked what the treadmill was and so we took turns walking on the electric treadmill.



After a light Lunch and Baby was nursed, we loaded up two autos and drove to Wamego to tour the OZ MUSEUM. We all sat on the Green Throne! Photos encouraged.



After we visited the Land of Oz, we stopped off and took pictures of AMERICAN BUFFALO that were grazing on the Prairie at PLUMLEE BUFFALO RANCH. Huge creatures that I wouldn't want to be caught in a dark alley with. I appreciate their presence and they do have gorgeous brown eyes, but they can do alot of damage to little ole people.


Onto PUFFY'S STEAK and ICE HOUSE in Maple Hill. I decided to have Filet Mignon. Have you ever had Country Bob's Steak Sauce? This is where I first tasted it. Like it alot. It was Prom Night for Wamego High School and a group of students strutted their stuff as they entered the establishment to Dine. It was a treat to see so many teenagers dolled up. Puffy's Onion Rings are a treat as well! Delicious.






With tummys full we drove to the KONZA PRAIRIE look-out and viewed a KANSAS SUNSET across the KONZA PRAIRIE...this was outstanding...and my camera was on the fritz. Out of memory, it was a gorgeous sight.



We drove onto Manhattan, Kansas to have a fancy cup of coffee at THE BLUESTEM. Doin' my best to cut calories when having coffee and the skinny LATTEs are still mighty tasty. We sat at this coffee spot and visited. Very pleasant.




Drove the KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Campus and showed Tatyana the largeness of the KSU property. So much property spread out on so much ground. Saw the large buildings lit, parked the car and took Tatyana inside Hale Library. She asked if we would need documentation to enter the building...no we didn't. In her country a large University is two buildings. Inside the Library it is like a small town.


If we had more time there is so much more I would have liked to show our company. Time got away from us. All in All...it was an American Day.

Mom's Day remembered American Style

Theme of the WEEK is Welcome to our American Home! As this week inches toward the week-end, I have sweet memories to think on. Mother's Day 2010 was wonderful. This year we had company for Mother's Day...Son, Daughter-In-Law, Grandson and D-I-L's Mom from Belarus.

Some pictures:
*Tatyana holding her Grandson
*Ryna with Tatyana holding her Grandson
*Deanna holding her Grandson
*My Mom holding her Great Grandson




Mother's Day. Moms. 
Grandmas and Great Grandmas.


Our Lovely Daughter-In-Law Ryna celebrated her very first Mother's Day and her momma from Belarus was here to celebrate this special day with her. My Mom was present! My daughter held her little girl in her arms. Very sweet day with sweet smiles. Four Generations celebrated this day at HomeHaven.


It's really neat to see my children hold their children in their arms.

Beautiful children and precious Grandchildren.
Family is such a blessing.

This is one Mother that is glad to be a Mom, Mom-In-Law, Daughter, and a Gramma!

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."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PROVERBS 24:3-4

its rooms are filled with rare

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
