LIFE UNDER A SHADE TREE





THIS AFTERNOON AS I WAS OUTSIDE SNAPPING PICTURES of the Hostas in bloom, I stood under the shade tree looking upwards toward one of the room's windows that has four windows grouped together.  In the shade, I admitted out loud that I like this house.  

We need to replace the old style door ringer as this one is partially missing.  I got kind of excited that we are LIVING here on the corner.  It has taken some time to admit that I like living here on the corner.  The cooler weather helped me perk up and admit that I am HAPPY HERE.

Elsewhere we lived on the corner of a state street and a number street, but still on a corner.  Four houses we have lived in have been on a corner.  THINK I must be partial to living on a corner with a large side yard.  I'm looking forward to AUTUMN where I can sit some PUMPKINS outside and watch the leaves twirl down toward the ground.  Start thinking about CHRISTMAS decorating with oversized ornaments in the trees.  Wish I had a SANTA that would wave from the window at passer- byers.  I still wonder if we will do cutouts of VICTORIAN SINGERS dressed up in formal clothing.  THINK I may start looking for some characters.  The house is from 1883 so this will be the year more than likely that I will copy.

It has been almost 3 years since our horrible house fire across the river in Small town America.  It has been troublesome to me to relax about moving on.  I tried to relax.  Today, I believe I relaxed a tad.  I wasn't ready to leave our old rock house.  We had been there close to ten years.  The longest of any place we have lived as a married couple.  I thought we'd be there forevah.  It represented that we were still a married couple that stay married and was living together after the storm.  

The fire changed our direction about houses.  When we left, we thought we'd be downsizing into what we called RETIREMENT COTTAGE.  We were there for a short time before our fire recovery boxes returned to us to where we had to store them in a storage unit.  The house we are presently living in went on the market and we bought her.

Slowly our furniture that had to be refurbished returned to our new location.  We ordered Living room furniture, new mattresses, area rugs and bought a victorian bed with dresser.  A new television set, microwave that has already gone Kaput, some appliances like a fridge, dishwasher, stove, vacuum sweeper had to be purchased.  Sheets, towels and kitchen utensils, dishes, pots n pans, etc.  Like starting out.  Though we handled this ordeal, I think we were in a type of SHOCK while going through the motions. 

AS I WALKED THE YARD.....I like days like today where it isn't so HOT outside with a cool breeze is blowing.  Makes me feel young again.  SHADE under the big trees.  81 degrees with low 44% humidity.  Suppose to get into the 50s tonight.  LORD... LORD, that will be wonderful.  Wonderful.   




Hubby dug the HOSTAS up bringing them with us when we left the rock house.  They stayed in buckets for a while and then he planted them along our house on the shady side.  The Hostas have bloomed and like the shade they are living in here.  It is a nice sight to see.

CELEBRATING FIVE BIG ONES




HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  
We love you.























 Quick trip to OKLAHOMA to celebrate our youngest Grandson turning five.  The drive there was very pleasant with beautiful traveling weather.  We celebrated!  SO good to be there.


Very nice party.  
As the party settled, worn out grown ups took a nap.  
Can you believe it?
Worn out,
d



We gave him an assortment of moveable dinosaurs and soft road vehicles.

WHO'S DRINKING THE GMO KOOL-AID?


Cooler air drifts indoors with the sound of crickets chirping in the yard.  I think they like the cooler weather as well.  Sadly their chirps are a.n.n.o.y.i.n.g. me today.  

T O D A Y  they do not remind me of cherished days gone by when I was young visiting family in eastern Kansas where trees were a plenty.  TODAY they just remind me that I want some quiet and they're not helping matters.  CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP.

The french doors are open to where I can stare outdoors into a very grey sky.  Not gloomy.  Cooler weather is WELCOMED.  Pumpkins... and trees changing colors come to mind.  They usually do when I have had too much heat for too long and want things to cool off.  The same thing happens when it's too cold for too long desiring some warmth.  Not present in the season.
      
Southwest Kansas where I grew up being a 3year old child until turning almost 19 on the verge of adulthood, was known to have extremely dry air in Liberal...until farmers overwhelmingly used irrigation which over time changed the climate to a more humid one.  Still we had crickets a plenty.  


Song birds are singing.  
These I will enjoy in the cool of the day.  

TODAY I will rest like it is half a Sabbath.  Week-end was a busy one with traveling involved.  Having plenty to do, I will get done what I can as I really need to clean out the fridge and figure out what we will have for SUPPER on a MONDAY NIGHT.
Looks like I need to use up some broccoli and asparagus also a cauliflower.  If I boil some eggs this afternoon I could fix a faux potato salad using cauliflower instead of potatoes.  Cut some carbs and calories.   

Y E S T E R D A Y on the way HOME from Oklahoma we shopped at SAMs to get Marie Callender Chicken Pot Pies for SUPPER.  Delicious.  I knew I'd be too tired to cook, but not too tired to eat.   grins.  ARE these pies made of GMOs?  Will check it out.


MARIE CALLENDER is a CONAGRA BRANDS company food.
This IS what they say about their products:

GMO and Genetic Modification

Conagra Brands agrees with the FDA and numerous trusted scientific bodies and regulatory agencies (World Health Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) that foods and beverages that contain ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms (GMO) are safe and nutritious to eat. Given the potential for GMO to improve the quality, sustainable availability and nutritional value of food, we support its responsible use when based on sound science and appropriate regulatory and safety reviews.

Is it going to get to where everything you buy to eat has been genetically engineered and modified?  I think it is going to get this way.  MONSTERS walk the land.  MONSTERS willingly being gods over how things are ran in this old world pretending to be angels of light when they are as dark in spirit as it can be.  

Unless you go a different route preserving heirlom seeds and grow organic food yourself banning with others who market natural foods that have not been altered by  Mo*s*n*o you may not be able to get anything in the natural state that GOD created for people to eat.  

More lowered immune systems and diseased organs will abound.  Higher doctor bills and becoming a cash cow for an illuminated medical field and government.  

FDA.
Numerous TRUSTED scientific bodies.  (Who TRUST them and why?)
Scientific BODIES.
World Health Organization.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
These swing a pretty big stick in global agencies.
Sigh.
What does it really mean?
Who gives these organizations all their power and authority?
Who runs these things?
More to come.


LAST WEEK when I was doing laundry at the mat, I munched down on a snack mix by General Mills and noticed on the package that GMOs were used in this product sooooo...I contacted them via email.  They answered me as I was wondering what ingredients in this mix was GMO'd.  

"...if a food or beverage product lists corn, soy, canola, cottonseed, beet, sugar, papaya or squash, or their derivatives, as an ingredient – and if the product is not organic – it likely contains genetically engineered ingredients."

Oops.  I no likey GMOs or genetically engineered products. 

WHAT's a person to do?  Avoid GMOs?  Yes.
The flowery verbiage used isn't comforting me.  I wonder how many dollars 'they' spent getting just the right words to use with the public to ease the consumers anxieties toward GMOs and genetically altered ingredients?  

THE BROAD GLOBAL CONSENSUS......

'We use GMO ingredients in some of our products. 
The broad global consensus among food and safety regulatory bodies that approved, genetically modified ingredients are safe, gives us the confidence to use them in our products that we share with our families and yours.'

Deanna here: I'm not sure who the broad global regulatory bodies are that approved genetically modified ingredients which gives them confidence to use the ingredients as safe.  In my humble opinion the CONFIDENCE I think they're referring to IS the MONEY THAT WILL BE MADE from selling their products.  ChaChing.  Confidence = profit in the bank.

Probably the same regulatory bodies as Conagra Brands states are the ones General Mills is referring to:
FDA.
Numerous TRUSTED scientific bodies.  (Who TRUST them and why?)
Scientific BODIES.
World Health Organization.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Dear Ms. ********************
Thank you for contacting General Mills about GMO ingredients.

We use GMO ingredients in some of our products. The broad global consensus among food and safety regulatory bodies that approved, genetically modified ingredients are safe, gives us the confidence to use them in our products that we share with our families and yours.

Additionally, the vast majority of our U.S. products contain ingredients grown in North America, which has widely adopted the use of biotechnology to improve agriculture. In the US, if a food or beverage product lists corn, soy, canola, cottonseed, beet, sugar, papaya or squash, or their derivatives, as an ingredient – and if the product is not organic – it likely contains genetically engineered ingredients.

We know that some consumers prefer products without genetically modified ingredients and we’re proud to offer organic and non-GMO brands like Annie’s, Cascadian Farms, Muir Glen and LARABAR. – For more information about our position on GMOs, and a list of our products and information about whether or not they contain GMO ingredients, please go to: www.generalmills.com. It can be found by clicking on NEWS and then ISSUES.

We appreciate your interest, and hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any additional questions or comments, please let us know.
Sincerely,

LIFE is getting more and more interesting as I go.  Cool.
Who's drinking the Kool-Aid?
Cool?

I'll need to unpack today, clean out the fridge, look over the bills, hang some clothing in the closets, fix Supper and clean up the mess.  If I can muster up the energy, I'll sweep the Kitchen floor and the Master Bedroom.  Have to play this by ear.

We were blessed to get to go to OKLAHOMA to celebrate our youngest Grandson's 5th Birthday.  Great fun.  Quick trip there, spend the night and return to KANSAS the next day.  I can feel my age and I remember my in.laws saying I think our traveling days are over.  I'm not ready to say that about traveling as I love going to see my kids and grands.  Also I'd like to go see some sights in the great 'ole USA.  

I pray we are well enough to do some traveling as I'd like to go to every state in the United States and see some sights.  I told my Husband that I would like to go to North Dakota or Wyoming and camp out in a cabin for a week just watching the sky change colors not being bothered by humans.  Just sit and think out loud.  No traffic, no airplanes, no people.  Just sit and think in the quiet..... reading.  Sippin' bottle water, coffee with cream and munching on a salad and/or sandwich.  No COOKIN', BAKIN, no dishes to wash.  No laundry to do.  No bills to write out wishing I was independently wealthy.  Perhaps my mind set will change and the bills won't have so much weight to them.  Perhaps. 

As this week begins, there are hopes of cooler weather with a nice meal together with my sweetheart to celebrate a wedding anniversary.  45 years.  Pause.  

Our 45th wedding anniversary.  It was a rainy day when we married.  My wedding dress had long sleeves instead of short like one would wear in the HOT Summer time.  It was suiting as it was a gorgeous dress to walk from one stage of life into another being escorted by my dear FATHER down the grass aisle to the altar where the minister and wedding party stood waiting for THE BRIDE.  

I love this tradition.  The Father gives the daughter away to her future Husband who is to be her covering, protector, provider, confidant, lover.  

I said, "I DO!" and became a MRS.  No longer a child living under my Parents' HOME, but a young woman with a Husband and the beginnings of making a LIFE and HOME TOGETHER as HUSBAND AND WIFE.  I believe it has been an adventure and a half.

HUBBY is making plans to retire in 2020.  ANOTHER ADVENTURE as we have had a few in our marriage.  He'll turn 65 in December.  I remember well when we started out as a married couple in college.  Things morphed right along and we are where we are in the year 2019.  It is 2019, right?  2019.

THRILLED to receive in the mail the tube of suzanne somers organic garnet colored lipstick that I ordered!  This came in as well as Dr. Mercola's Feminine products I ordered to see what I think about organic sanitary products.  Humpf.  A little small for an ole gal my size.  Will try them anyways to see what I think about not having chemical laced pads up against my body part where the sun don't shine.  

Have you ever wondered if women that develop fibroid tumors might be developing these because of feminine products they use as well as wear that are chemically laced with pesticides that are in or up against next to sensitive body parts?  I  have.  The more I know the more I want to change.  Cool.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS


I'm sitting here with olive oil ran through my hair to condition it.  I want to leave it in for a few hours then shampoo it out.  I am being lazy as I need to shave my legs and avoid being French.  The clock is ticking and I am being lazy.

Outside it looks like it couldn't possibly be 81 degrees in the shade.  Will cool off slightly this evening.  If it rains there will be no start to the planting of our Iris rhizomes.  I'm cheering my HUBBY on to get these treasures in the ground.  He has worked at digging up and replanting rhizomes in the new flowerbed.

So I hope he can begin this and be in the place where these go back into Kansas soil by the fence.  Praise the LORD he likes gardening.  Praise the LORD.

Today our automobile was in shop to have a new windshield window put in.  We've been waiting until the right timing as we have had an abundance of expenses and it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.  I worked on bills today.  I still need to get HUBBY a new pair of glasses this SUMMER before he retires around Christmas.  I understand that there are about 18 week-ends until CHRISTMAS.  That doesn't sound like very many. 

The week-end is near.  I have about 6 more loads of clothing to wash before I once again can say I am caught up for a week.  ha.

I came across some sheets that I need to wash as well.  Always something and isn't it a blessing to have laundry to do.  HUMANS in our life.  

Once the flowerbeds are filled with flowers then we'll more on to the next project when the weather cools some.  That will be the screened in porch.  It's a tad bit frustrating to watch one's house fall apart right before one's eyes like when the air hits it it's gone.  I'll have to visit with my HONEY about how this will take place.  He will be the carpenter repairing the roof area of the screened in porch. 

WHAT's for SUPPER?  Not sure.  Thought maybe we'd have a crustless Quiche.  Never have fixed this.  Maybe I should take the leap of FAITH that it will be delicious.

I came across some videos of a woman that left a certain cult and has continued her spiritual journey.  She is still in a cult as she is entertaining new age mumbo jumbo.  She believes that the Christ SPARK is in her, you don't need a savior and JESUS will return in a flying saucer.  Mother earth talks to her through butterflies and that she vibrates with light and love.  Be nice.  People who share the true gospel with her are BIBLE BULLIES.  Moving right along.  

God speaks beautifully to us through His word.
Speaking of FAITH......I have some.

ARROWS IN THE AIR




It must have rained during the night as there are puddles in the drive.  Temperatures outside today are cooler at 76 degrees but humidity is at 86%.  More rain may fall which is a blessing to cool off the atmosphere.

Today I am tired as I was out and about in the HOT TEMPS yesterday that would melt your hair.  I had some blue jean laundry to do, buzzed over to TOPEKA to purchase a GRANDSON's birthday gift, buzzed to the cottage across the river to dry the jeans and meet up with HUBBY and a SON for MEXICAN FOOD for supper.  

My SWEETHEART mowed the cottage lawn after we ate as I fell asleep on the sofa waiting for the bluejeans to dry.  When I woke up, my legs didn't want to raise me up off the sofa.  So tired.

Cooling off after the yard was mowed, we loaded the car with laundry and traveled across the river to go HOME.  Unloading the car in the heat doesn't agree with my delicate nature.  I am the weaker of the sexes after all.  Inside where the air is cool we sat in our easy chairs to relax before bed.  

I watched the 2018 movie version of ROBIN HOOD.  Very violent.  Graphic, but kept my interest as we had watched some videos beforehand about LARS ANDERSEN.  I can honestly say this Danish guy is a full blown athlete in a slender body that handles a bow and arrow like no man I have ever witnessed.  

He has studied historical paintings and artwork about archery styles and I believe he's spot on about how ARCHERS truly were from other countries instead of the AMERICAN ARCHERS of this day where they stand and fire one arrow at a time.  The WARRIORS.  True warriors.  Also he has read literature about ARCHERS.  

He might hold four arrows and send them flying around a corner.  He is unbelievable.  An ARTIST and AUTHOR as well.  He trained the main actors in this ROBIN HOOD movie.  





UNBELIEVABLE.  
 HOW ON EARTH CAN THIS BE?  
So very talented and fast.  

When facing evil, 
I believe it would benefit us to be more like LARS 
with his arrows.  

Chronicles-1 12:2

[They were] armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in [hurling] stones and [shooting] arrows out of a bow, [even] of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

Today, I am resting and researching THYROID HEALTH where I learned that having hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism can cause MUSCLE MYOPATHY.  There are test that can be done to determine muscle function as well as damage to muscles.
I have to sigh as my endocrinologist does not volunteer information to me as a patient.  I believe he is more concerned about his reputation and stats then actually helping me understand this journey I am on as a survivor of thyroid cancer.
My HUSBAND, a thyroid cancer survivor as well, explained to him that his muscles are shrinking.  There's weakness.  The muscle weakness was never addressed.  We have had to find out about this without the aid of the specialist.
I am beyond frustrated.

Frustration can help fuel us to use our strength 
to dig deeper.  
I'm digging,

DREAM




Seldom do I remember my dreams.  As I wake up, the dream vanishes fading away into the cloud inside my mind.  Gone.  Poof.  This morning was different.  I have some recall.  I caught the dream before it turned into a foggy thought.  

We were preparing to open a restaurant near our house, but weren't telling anyone yet of our plans.  I'm outside sweeping a wooden porch.  As I am cleaning a friend that I haven't seen in years from high school shows up and visits me.  Sue's her name.  

Our house is small like the one I grew up in.  I continue to clean house as she looks for something to eat.  A cold cheese sandwich with mayo.  Some of my sons' friends come over to play and I cannot keep an eye on them.  They're hungry as well.  By the time supper comes the fridge is mostly empty.

I scolded myself in the dream that I should have told the boys that it was time for them to go HOME as it was supper time.

They are playing in my boys' bedroom.  A small television set is in their room on a cart.  One child was laying inside a Longberger basket that is on the bottom shelf of the tv cart.  He has broken the basket and I am trying to stay calm as this upset me that my Longaberger basket is broken.

Multitasking as I go, I could not get my high school friend to talk.  I ask her how things have been since high school and she is just so quiet.

I woke up from dream.  Must be some anxiety in here somewhere.

COTTON HEAD



Monday has arrived and I sorted some laundry like a good lil maid making way to do some laundry.  I'll take off here in a minute to go to the matt.  First I wanted to read about certified organic cotton.  The pain of it all.  It seems like I have awakened from a deep sleep and found myself in a matrix not very people friendly.

All the news I have read about the world I live in, breathe in, dress in, etc. isn't people friendly.  COTTON is promoted as healthy to peeps until one reads how it is taken care of while growing.  Even the seeds are a concern.

Genetically engineered,  genetically modified, sprayed with pesticides and herbicides that stay with the product.  Truly I am on overload with all this information that I have read that I need to tune out and sip some coffee in a quiet room far away from noise.  Rest my weary head.

I had no idea that at 64 years of age I would be studying up on COTTON.  Cotton undies, cotton towels, bedsheets, cotton sanitary products, etc.  I started thinking on if the pesticides used on cotton used for underwear might be part of the reason so many men are dealing with prostate issues.  Why so much breast cancer as these cotton items in the underwear department are next to the skin.  Then there's sanitary products such as feminine products that are next to a females sensitive body part.  Tampons are inserted and fibers remain even after removing the pon.  

When I suffered with urinary tract infections, I troubled myself to think about what was contributing to this issue.  I telephoned a sanitary pad company and got PASS THE BUCK answers.  I suspected these pads had something to do with infections.

I suspected that I needed to avoid nylon undergarments to fight the infections.  Use white toilet paper.  

I switched to cotton undies thinking I was doing the positive thing to help fight infections.  AT 64 I'm questioning what type of cotton is being used in cotton undies and sanitary products.  I find out that about 70% of the cotton being used has been genetically altered and also sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, toxic fungicides.  engineered.  

You know those cheaper priced cotton articles that come from India are more than likely made of Bt COTTON.  Bt.  Well what the heck is that?  It's genetically altered cotton.  More on this.

Known as a dirty product, cotton has been altered.  Now I have to consider CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON up against my private parts.  ALSO I have to consider what feminine products are made up of.

I'm new to Bt COTTON.  Bt cotton is a genetically modified organism or genetically modified pest resistant plant cotton variety, which produces an insecticide to combat bollworm.


What was once one of the healthiest products to wear has now been genetically altered.  
This is another time I am weary.
When I found out that some vaccines used aborted fetuses I was dazed.  Sickened.  
When I found out that Billy Graham was a freemason, I was dazed.
Finding out that good ole cotton has been molested
is doing a number on my head.

Jeepers Mister Wilson,
I think I need a rest.
A bit dazed,

Phasing Out VS. Fading Out

BLESSINGS TO YOU TODAY!  
Tis Saturday and I couldn't be happier about it.  Had the luxury of sleeping in until I woke up on my own.  I slept a very long and peaceful sleep throughout the night.  No tossing or turning.  

A wonderful full night's sleep until I could sleep no more.  Rise and shine.  A precious gift to myself and my HUSBAND as I was staying out of his hair.

He worked at popping the Irises that will go along the fence this go round.  We had rain throughout the night so this morning the ground was muddy to work in.  He's making progress as the flowerbed full of Irises will be out of the middle of a yard section morphing along the fence.  I will LOVE the results.  Such work to get there.  After we moved to this present house, the Irises went where they are and we were happy to have them.  After two blooming seasons we can now relocate them to suit our fancy.


Along the fence.  SO traditional.  

He had to prep a flowerbed first which required digging in the heat of summer for hours.  SOmething even a young man should not do.

Not happy 'bout that so encouraged him to dig in the cool of the day.  Which isn't a very wide window of time meaning that the digging time is a little here and a little there.  He successfully got 'er done and now is completing phase two in which the rhizomes are dug up or popped.

SPRING 2019

If he can just stick with this until completed this project will have long lasting effects each time the flowers bloom.  Gorgeous variety of color to feast our eyes on in the SPRING for about 6 weeks.  42 days of beauty.  A dose of contentment for a nature lover.

Phase one: new flowerbed made and prepped.
Phase two: rhizomes dug up.
Phase three: rhizomes arranged and planted in circles of six rhizomes of like kind.
Phase four: previous flowerbed cleared out, emptied and rework the soil.
Phase five: new grass seeds planted in previous bed. 
Phase six:  RELIEF it's done.
Phase seven:  Wait and enjoy the blooms.




LAST NIGHT I ate a piece of DAVE's KILLER BREAD before I turned in for the night.  I did the same thing the night before.  Both mornings upon taking my BLOOD PRESSURE reading I had excellent numbers.  I couldn't believe it.  BLINK BLINK.  Shall do this again tonight to see if the numbers are spot on again.  
awesome.  a w e s o m e.  awesome.  
Perhaps my vitamins are kicking in and helping as well. 




When ones reading are too high and you finally have a great reading it's exciting.  

So now adays my social events are classified as going to a medical appointment and I get really excited over having a normal blood pressure reading.  SOunds lame doesn't it......but I'm alright with that.  Lame and alright.  To each his own.  

Do we sometimes not nourish our bodies the way they should be nourished?  Yes, I am so guilty.  So much dieting and cutting back I have done in hopes of thinning down.  I have no thyroid which is the MASTERMIND of metabolism and energy.  It is heck and oh so frustrating to be told to cut back and exercise to lose weight.  The standard medical doctor sometimes looks at you like you are over eating and not busy enough in the motion department.    

I have one of these doctors that will not acknowledge that hormones play a huge part in being able to lose weight.  HORMONES.  Being insulin resistant, lepid resistant, thyroid resistant and resistant resistant.  Keeping a proper attitude is in the works and is work to embrace.  

If I eat iceberg lettuce all the time instead of nutrient dense foods then I am depleting my body and not nourishing it with the nutrients needed.  Feeding the cells throughout the body is a must.  We are fearfully and wonderfully made aren't we.  Lord help.


Zeroing in on what to do is ongoing.  

Taking a quiet time break before moving forward for the day.  COFFEE has not happened so far.  Better get some.

ALMOST TIME....

GRINS


Sippin' my afternoon coffee.  I came HOME tired and needed a break.  Feet up and laptop on.  Typing and relaxin'.  ALMOST TIME FOR MY afternoon apple SNACK.  I missed my morning coffee as I OVERSLEPT this morning and dashed out the door to meet HUBBY for a HEALTHY  ORGANIC LUNCH.  

I got to the eatery a little early and decided to check out their organic pads for 'ole women that need a little extra protection when they laugh too hard or sneeze too loud.  Achoooo and they didn't have any.  Shucks and a half.  Will continue looking and may order via mail.

Will check DR. MERCOLA and company and see what they have to offer.  When I started going the way of cotton in underwear back in the 80s and using non-perfumed/colored toilet paper I thought I had done something absolutely awesome UNTIL I have studied up about cotton being one of the dirtiest crops sprayed heavily with pesticides that stay with the product.  So all this time that I proudly thought I was doing something wonderful for 'me' privates, I had not taken into account the pesticides that stay with the product.  humpf.    

This particular store was all out of the SEVENTH GENERATION PADS that I wanted to try.  In fact one of their shelving units was completely gone and the floor swept clean.  It's not a good sign when the store only has one or two things on the shelf.  Been here long enough to know that this is a bad sign.  Business closing shop OR moving to a different location.

The decorative menu sign that hung above the deli is G. O. N. E.  GONE.  What happened?  Redoing it?  Unhuh.  Shame.

I picked up some miniature notebooks and ink pens that my SWEETHEART enjoys.  ALso some special castor oil for a castor oil treatment I will be doing this coming week on my abdomen to help with fibroid tumors.  Let you know how that goes.


IS THIS A GOOD CHOICE?
We had a delicious LUNCH and nice convo.  Conversation.  I am ready for HUBBY to be retired so we can do some serious playing and enjoy a different pace of life.  With the organic changes in our diet/LIFE I might just KEEP at this thing and call us HEALTHY.

After LUNCH I went to the Goodwill store and walked out empty handed.  Okay.  
ALDIs was a place to purchase organic milk, coffee creamer and some cauliflower for the week-end.  I buzzed by the Market to buy some special PEACHES.  Stopped by the DOLLAR STORE for a couple of pillows to fill some pretty shams that will lay on the Victorian Bed.  BY this time I needed a rest.  Headed HOME for coffee and time to unwind.

The body needs nourishment and as much as I thought we were eating healthy, we weren't.  To nourish the body with real food void of chemicals and preservatives is a different way of eating.  The world with dense nutrient foods and the world with fake food GMO altered filled with preservatives are two different things completely.  Kind of like real religion being a relationship with Christ verses entertaining false preachers that don't glorify GOD, but mammon.  

























YESTERDAY I watched a brief movie about AMERICAN GOSPEL.  Will check out what the producers and writer of this movie support before I promote it 100%.  What I heard was well worth hearing.  Still, before I go in over my head, I will need to do some more HOMEWORK as I have failed before to be in the clear before promoting a Christian movie.  This one is very good, but I did not see the entire movie just a shorter version of the longer one plus comments by some peeps who watched it.    

I am not a CALVINIST nor am I a WORD of FAITH Charismatic Pentecostal Christian or a supporter/follower of the New Apostolic Reformation where new apostles and new prophets have rule to reign verses CHRIST CENTERED preaching with the use of the WORD of GOD which is the BIBLE as the center of the church. 

This new apostolic reformation movement is enough to scare one silly.  The new apostles can have a dream siting a vision and thus sayeth the lord anything they want it to be and the people of the congregation or those hearing the sound of their voice are suppose to jump through their hoop and do what they say which is mostly to give them yo money and be their servant.
  

Tis safer and better to follow the Lord Jesus by reading and studying His Godly instructions.  Knowing that He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings.  Not the new apostle that wants to oversee 3,000 new churches while wearing stiletto heels and showing off their rear end in a form fitting red dress that looks like it has been spray painted on saying to give a sacrificial offering two or three times a service or place your jewelry into the offering plate.  Paul-La.   

Tis better to put your trust in the Lord Jesus as Savior and not attend a service in California where Martha Stewart Glitter rains down on the congregation when the authorities say it's the presence of God.    

The spasmodic body jerking while under the spell of a kundalini spirit laughing like a hyena has no place for a balanced Christian that is filled with God's Holy Spirit and understands the things of God.  Be Holy as God is Holy.  Amen. 




SO glad the week-end is here and hopefully will have time to relax and have little demands upon my ole self.  Plans this week-end are to have a slow paced time.

God Bless you and yours,

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."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
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
