Granny Nanny and All That's Frozen

We made our way to celebrate 

at my older brother's birthday party with Lil Miss wanting to appear as ANNA from the well known movie Frozen especially for her Great Uncle HD.

ANNA appeared with a pretty smile on her face.  
We all were frozen with delight and intrigued by her presence at the PARTY.  The residence were so nice.  We all enjoyed our old fashioned time where we played BINGO, heard tid bits of information about what happened on the days the Birthday People were born on and had light refreshments.  

We sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

THINK HE ENJOYED HIS SPECIAL RECOGNITION.

My elderly Dad hardly speaks these days.  
He doesn't always know me, but he was playing BINGO like it was nobody's business.  Like a PRO.

After the PARTY we let our hair down. 

Thank you for joining me today.

Frozen in time and we had fun with it,

Lovely Little House To Make A Home In

I like this little house and have often said it reminds me of a GRANDMA's HOUSE.

Somewhere a Grandma might love to live.

I have no idea what the interior looks like, 

but the curb appeal calls my name.

It couldn't be that bad inside.

It just couldn't be.

Perhaps one day I will return to the town where I married 

and live a quiet and peaceable LIFE.

Could happen.

Blessings to you,

Granny Nanny and What Dreams Are Made Up Of

 SUMMER TIME!

Being a GRANNY NANNY 

keeps me on a gentle and relaxed 
Summer schedule.

KSU Gardens, shopping thrift, lunches out.

We've visited the newly opened 

remodeled children's department of the 

Manhattan Library.

A GREAT place to go when the air is on 

and it's too HOT outside for beast or man.

That's that,

Imagination creates...

Special Places To Read and Dream….

Made for a fun age appropriate day.

Where In The World Am I…...

SUMMER 

HaPpY FaThEr'S DaY

~Happy Father's Day~

Wishing my sweet "Daddy" a very nice day.

God's richest BLESSINGS to you.

Your Daughter,

This picture was taken in my Grandmother's

Living room back in the 1950s.

Dad is holding me. 

My siblings and I are all in their pajamas.  

I cannot remember where we all slept.

Grandma had one bedroom on the main floor and one upstairs.  

My Sister and I had curlers in our hair.  
That means it was a Saturday night and we'd be going to Church in the morning.

Not everyone has a "Daddy"

My prayer for you today is that you be comforted by our Lord

and allow Him to help you be all that you are meant to be.

My Dad doesn't know me at times. 
That hurts. 
He's very frail.
Still...he is here in the physical.
I love him and am thankful for the good he showed me
through the years.

May you have a blessed day,

Deanna


Proverbs 20:7
The just man walketh in his integrity: 
his children are blessed after him.

The Howling Old Lady

~Peaches, Bronzes and Browns~

The Irises faded and the Lilies came out…before Spring is completely gone, 

I'm remembering the Irises one more time.  

Then prepare to relocate them into the backyard in the heat of the SUMMER.

I'm having some difficulty

with SPRING ENDING and SUMMER BEGINNING.

This can't be so.

Can it?  SUMMER's here?

I waited for such a long time for SPRING to arrive.

It did and I relaxed in it.

Now it's gone.

Summer will officially be here on Sunday 

as we celebrate Father's Day.

Seriously, I am not ready for the changing of the season.

Gulp…HARVEST things will start to show up before I embrace Summer.

"Put that pumpkin down!" howled the old Lady

in the old stone house.

Recalling the SPRING PRETTIES

that were in our yard.

It's just about watermelon and lemonade time 

on the Prairie.

Blessings to you,

Inside my HOME is a HAPPY PLACE.

I am running so far behind in the CLEAN AND TIDY department, 

but it will happen once again because I will be working a little here and a little there until this task is completed.

When school starts in mid August, 

Lord willing, 
I will tackle one room at a time and call it good.

Lil Miss will be back in school.

I've been walking on the treadmill and am in hopes of working

 my way up to 20 to 30 minutes of fast walking 
Monday through Friday by my 60th Birthday in July.

The Summer Projects are lining up.

Shall see how this all goes.

Better run.

The Master Bedroom needs some dusting and sweeping.

HAPPY that my Husband was not furloughed.

HAPPY that I am A HOMEMAKER.

 HAPPY that I am a WIFE, Mom and Grandma.

HAPPY to be a Child of the MOST HIGH GOD.

I am so HAPPY that I can blog and say HELLO!

HAPPY TO BE HAPPY

1) Pray every day and read some in the King James Bible to meditate upon.
Be nourished and educated by the Bible which is the word of God.
2) Bless the Lord and do not forget HIS benefits.
Remind yourself that you are important and have great value as a person.
You are a somebody and so are others.
3) Don't forget that there's room at the table for you.  You are not an animal.
4) Take your vitamins, eat your veggies and drink some purified water.
5) Do everything in moderation...including getting a little exercise.
6) Help others, but don't use up all your lamp oil on others.
7) Have some alone time.

Philippians 4:8 

King James Version (KJV)

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, 
whatsoever things are honest, 
whatsoever things are just, 
whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, 
whatsoever things are of good report; 
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Miss You

She's off to an Oklahoma adventure.  

We gathered for a evening together to have fellowship, 

eat and say Good-bye.

Our singing practices were always a time to share.

We did.

Grand-babies being born, birthdays celebrated, children's divorces,

race for Kansas Governor, broken marriage coming back to life, Thyroid cancer, Breast cancer, face lift, downsizing, death of Parent, death of friends, children's weddings, house hunting, 

Christmas parties, God talk, recipes shared, sage advice, 
tears, lots of laughs, the list goes on.

We have sang together for 7 years...is that possible?

One of us is out the door.

Get Along Little Doggie.

Good friends,
