Decorating On The Prairie: Waiting For A Kitchen Redo

Welcome to my mess!
Some things you'll find in my Kitchen.  Still want order.

While I wait for a complete Kitchen REDO.......IN THE MEAN TIME
I'm thankful we have these sturdy metal shelves.  IN THE MEAN TIME.
Does in the mean time actually mean one is in a mean way?  Somedays are harder to take than others.  So in the MEAN TIME...I'm waiting for a Kitchen that takes on the appearance of a kitchen and not a warehouse.

WAITING is not always a easy thing to do.  WAITING sometimes requires that we be still and know that God is God.  WAITING may require taking deep breathes and praying.  WAITING may cause us to examine what we should be doing, could be doing, would be doing.  While WAITING for a finish to something or a change, we may have to busy ourselves doing other things.  WAITING.  The things I have learned while waiting are valuable LIFE LESSONS.  I've had to wait for remodeling on KITCHENS before during my marriage, but never for as long as this spell has taken.  When completed, I will appreciate all the more the ROOM CALLED THE KITCHEN.  What a wonderful room to have in one's HOME.

The Metal Racks will be recycled back into Home Haven elsewhere.  Either in the Garage or Basement.  That'll be nice.

I feel better when my Kitchen shelves are in order and the inside of my fridge is clean and orderly.  Just one of those things.

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, 

they shall mount up with wings as eagles; 

they shall run, and not be weary; 

and they shall walk, and not faint.

Did you drink your water today???

I'm working at drinking my 8 cups a day.
I'm terrible at this.

Sometimes I think this is too much water for people and overworks the kidneys.

Once I told a friend that I doubted that Jesus drank so much water in one day.
She laughed, but I was serious.

Years ago when I was 42, 
I stopped drinking soda and tea.  
Hadn't started drinking coffee yet.
After detoxing, water never tastes so refreshing.

May you have a wonderful week-end!  
I'm so hoping to completely clean the utility room top to bottom.  
Have to see if my sewing machine still works.  
May have to service this.

Spring is getting closer by the minute. PTL.

God bless you and shine on,

Granny Nanny Chronicles

Just like the t-shirt says, she is a BUSY CHILD.

She stepped into her Grandpa's BOOTS and did a twirl.

Not so easy to walk in when they are too big for her feet.

Sometimes when we try to walk in another person's shoes (boots) they really don't fit.

Gotta go barefoot!

 On the wrong foot.

 She enjoyed walking and dancing 

in her GRAND Daddies Boots.

Enjoying LIFE at Home Haven.

God richly bless you and walk right along with you 

through Life's Challenges.

Home Happenings

Hello BELOVED Blogging Friends.
Can it be Wednesday already?  Thankful it's mid-week.  Today the grey sky is suppose to weep down showers of snow and rain mix.  We did get some snow late Sunday night after we got home from a week-end in Saint Louis to celebrate a Grandson's 2nd Birthday. 

It's a slow paced Wednesday.  Been working on paperwork, bills and correspondences.  Had LEFT OVER Spaghetti for Lunch.  Love it.

Using hubby's defunct computer while the better one is needing some repairs.  Till then I'm struggling along with this one that does this if you don't constantly hold the Fn key down.......abcdefgh51230n6*. 
That's abcdefghijklmnop.  My index finger gets tired, but that doesn't stop me from blogging or typing one handed.  Got talent.  Grins. 

Pics posted soon of week-end birthday.
Pleasant trip there and home again.
Hopefully, my pics will get down loaded tonight.
Rested on Monday....played in snow with Lil Miss.  Snow Ball Fight.  Giggles and Grins.  Had Fun.
Yesterday, Lil Miss went to a Valentine's Outting.
Afterwards we ate Lunch with my Hubby.
Did some shopping.  A little more shopping.  Then shopped again.
By evening I was zonked and down in the back, but had a PLEASANT VALENTINE's DAY.
Sorry to say that my Sister's Mother-in-law died on Valentine's Day.  Sad.

Better run......gotta get my hair washed before this afternoon gets away from me.  Towels to fold and put away.  Where's my MAID?  She went into hiding and i sure need her extra arms.

Life can be short.
Eat some chocolate for me and call it good.
God Bless,
d

PS
Only about 34 days till SPING!!!!!!!!!
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW.

Aren't They Cute!

There was a day that my Sister said to me that she didn't think she would ever be a Grandma.........well, that 'aint so anymore.  She has four GRANDS these days.
My Sister had a DIFFICULT time getting pregnant THEN God answered her prayers.  She has two boys that are all grown up and have children of their own.  Each Son has had two children.  So my DEAR SISTER BECAME A MOMMA and is a GRANNY of FOUR!  More answered prayer.



Are you having a time with something?  Press in and PRAY.  BELIEVE.  TRUST.  See the hand of GOD move on your behalf.

AMEN,
~deanna~

GREAT NEWS!

Have you ever burst into tears because you were so RELIEVED, THANKFUL and GRATEFUL to God for answered PRAYER?? That things turned out great?


I did this morning when I answered a phone call from my Husband's Doctor's Office saying that the biopsies he had were benign.  NO CANCER........this is GOOD NEWS.  I hung up and burst into tears.


Thank you, thank you, thank you GOD!!!!!
THANK YOU, DEAR ONES THAT PRAYED FOR HIM.
I am grateful for you.  Much APPRECIATED.

'Life Just Got A Little Easier' Ham

~CROCK POT HAM~

It's such a blessing to have a CROCK POT for slow cooked HAM.

ESPECIALLY while the Kitchen doesn't have a regular size stove due to preparing for a Kitchen OVER HAUL.

Old Stove out....new stove coming soon.

A remodeled KITCHEN IS COMING SOOOOOON 

TO HOME HAVEN!!!!

Praise the LORD and Thank you, HONEY!!!

Have you ever added Maple Syrup for some flavoring to a partially water filled Crock Pot with Ham that you slow cook over night so you wake up in the morning smelling the aroma of baked Ham ready for a Sunday Dinner?

Delicious!
