Granny Nanny Chronicles: Pink Ballerinas

Shall we dance................

Little Ballerinas dressed in pink 

make me smile!

Have a PINK DAY,

~Granny Nanny~

busy. busy. busy.

Perhaps your personality assist you

in getting way over your head in trouble with being busy, busy, busy.

Thrift vase already had the ribbon tied around it when I bought it.
The artificial flowers were a bargain as well.  Pleasantly sitting on top of Dining Room Buffet.

Priorities get whopper jawed out of order and you begin to gasp with exhaustion just before you have a fit that Life has dealt you this hand.

Taking ownership that you had a huge part in getting over commited or swept down the river of being helpful may not take place until you are a zombie.  Wondering what happened to you may not become a reality until you have some hush time and are down for the count. 

The scripture "Be STILL and Know That I Am GOD"
comes forth when laying down your life before God and you realize that you have not had your priorities in order or in harmony with a Holy God that desires you to have a intimate relationship with HIM.

PLAYING AT LIFE is not a healthy nor a fulfilling way of LIFE.  Getting down with the REAL requires coming to terms with how we are truly to live life in this place called earth and then living it with sincere intregrity as God would like for us to live.  Being off the mark....takes on a whole new meaning when you come to terms with being ungodly and desiring self pleasures that will bring calamity.  Corruption begats more corruption.

PULLING BACK on the reigns and slowing one's super fast paced life may leave a mark.  A GOOD ONE AT THAT.

TOOK A DEEP BREATH.

HOME HAVEN Happy Meal and Spinach Salad

MORE greens in the form of Chicken Salad 

on a bed of SPINACH.

Happy to eat my spinach.

Spinach can be a nice substitute for Lettuce.  

If you have trouble digesting Lettuce which can cause health issues, 
Spinach might be a great substitute to enjoy.  

Your body will know the difference.

Another GREAT Spinach Salad 
is spinach leaves, red onion slices, mandarin oranges 
and raspberry vinaigrette.

God bless you,

Coffee

It's been a tad bit frustrating to not be able to get on the internet.  On Sunday we had rain and for some reason the connection died and stayed a problem.  Just when I could call it up, down she'd go.  Plop.

Will see how Tuesday goes.  Would like to Blog Hop and see what you're up to.

Anywhoo, after the week-end I needed a down day to rest my bones.  We worked at thinning out some items that were taking up too much space.  My body ached.  Took a long nap Saturday afternoon.  Sunday was a slow paced day.  Needed this.  Coffee in the Parlour with my Sweetheart.  Daughter took a road trip to visit family.  The house was quieter than normal and we sat and talked about the things of LIFE while sipping coffee.

Have a pleasant day,
~Deanna~

Decorating On The Prairie: A HaPpY Place

Proverbs 25:20

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, 
so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

Hello from Home Haven and welcome to DECORATING ON THE PRAIRIE nestled in the Flint Hills of Kansas!

I'm so thankful to have a Utility Room right in my old stone house.  I can't imagine going down to the river and bashing my clothing being washed against a rock on the edge of the river.

Using a Laundry Mat is fresh in my mind from when we used one after moving from the country into the small town we live in now.  My sweet hubby redid our Utility Room 4 years ago and I LOVE IT!  But doing laundry is doing laundry.  Just have to do it and do it well. 


While the Utility Room was out of commission, I had to load the car up with baskets of laundry and drive 30 minutes to the Laundry Mat.  We did our best to make the outting fun.  McDonalds to eat and Starbucks Coffee as a reward for getting the LAUNDRY DONE.  I forgot to mention that this particular Laundry Mat was extremely clean and had a HUGE BIG SCREEN TELEVISION TO WATCH WHILE WAITING FOR THE CLOTHES TO FINISH WASHING AND DRYING.  This was fun!

May the Utility Area in our homes be a HAPPY PLACE any whoooo.

What do you have in your personal space to brighten your mood when doing laundry?  I have a sign over the window and artificial flowers on the window ledge.  When I glance at the flowers, they cheer me up.  Life is short so I want to enjoy daily chores while I'm doing them!

So this week Decorating on the Prairie is just about a few small items that BRIGHTEN MY DAY.

God bless you!  


May your life be Sweet,
~Deanna At Home Haven~

Granny Nanny Chronicles and BB

Hello Beloved!  Who is BB?  This Guy.  Hubby of mine.

Even with remodeling going on all over the place at HOME HAVEN, 

Granny Nanny here has to see that Lil Miss has plenty of safe play time.

This past summer she was able to build a TALL TOWER with her Gramps which she calls BB.

We asked her a long time ago why she calls him BB....big belly.  She leans into her Grandpa like he was a pillow.  He's Grandpa, Grampsy, Grampy, Pizza Man, BB, Grand~daddy.

They constructed the tall tower out of large plastic blocks.

Had fun!

God Bless you 'all,

~Granny Nanny~

PS

These pictures were taken before the beaded board went up on the wall in the background.  

This room is making progress....can't wait to show you finished pics.
