Home Happenings

~OCTOBER HOME HAPPENINGS~

Rethinking the month of October 

before November gets away from me.

Our October was a full month.

We celebrated one of our Grandson's second Birthday, Trick or Treated at the Shawnee Oklahoma Mall, Decorated Pumpkins and then traveled back home to give out candy to Munchkins.

~His 2nd Birthday~

~Off To The Mall~

~Carving Pumpkins~

~Fellowship~

~Munchkin Time~

The Autumn Decorations continued to come out of hiding.

I sat the Table to take on the Season.

Home Haven continues to morph along.

The month of October ended and November began.

We continue to work on Home Haven getting ready for Thanksgiving!

November Thankfuls

~NOVEMBER 15th~

~I am THANKFUL for the written word of God~

I am thankful we have access to the Bible and can read it for ourselves.  
I am thankful that I know how to read.

2 Timothy 3: 16 and 17

All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, 
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

As I get older, I enjoy quiet time and reading ever so slowly the Bible.  
May you have a blessed day and get some alone time with our LORD, 

~Deanna~

Genesis 2:18

AND the LORD God said it is not good for the man to be alone; 
I will make him a helper suitable for him.

Mending Fences

~Mending Fences~

When we purchased Home Haven about 5 years ago in December the fenced yard was something we were wanting on a property because we have dogs.  Also I like the PRIVACY a wood fence provides.

The fence looked pretty good when we bought, but about three years into it the nice fence started showing some curling.  Not good.  Very disappointing.  New Fence Gone Bad.

There was a oversized Gate on the back of the yard that went whopper jaw.  It was beginning to look terrible.

She'd have to come down and be replaced with an all new fence without a gate in it.

The new fence would be moved into the yard some so that it butted up with the Garage and the area by the alley will become a raised flower bed.   A SPRING PROJECT.  Have plans of moving the Irises by the sidewalk to the alley raised flower bed.  Thinking about planting Mums to replace the Irises by the sidewalk fence.  Before this is all said and done.....the entire backyard fence will probably have to be replaced.

Hubby put extra support rails in....so instead of three across there's four.  Hopefully the extra rail will help prevent curling of boards.

~SHE'S DONE~

You all come back now...ya hear?

Decorating On The Prairie: Towels

DECORATING ON THE PRAIRIE went green.....GREEN TOWELS THAT IS.

Hello Dear One!  I had two sets of decorative green towels that needed paired up.  As I was sitting on "THE THRONE".....if you know what i mean......THINKING about life's challenges........I looked at the towels that hung on a towel bar and a set that I had lying on a tub nearby waiting to be used somewhere in the house.

So I made the huge decision to pair them together and I liked what I saw.  So together the two sets of towels became one big decorative pretty!

Simple enough to do and easy enough to enjoy.
Who ever said DECORATING had to be expensive or difficult?  Should I say, "Hush yo' mouth...." in a very Lady like tone of voice?  Pleaaassseeee.

God bless you and your Home and give us ideas to pretty up our personal space,
~Deanna~


Psalm 23:2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:  He leadeth me beside the still waters.....

I am honored to write for THE CHRISTIAN HOME magazine carnival's DESIGN AND DECORATE section that is posted weekly.
