An uncommon house...

Most folks have order and an organized home.
We have a measure of controlled chaos:)
We finished the kitchen wall and replaced the wood blind


The new family room is ready to set up as the entertainment center is empty.
I need to reload the dvd's and such.

This will come together shortly.
I'll have to shampoo a rug to set the stage here.

This wall got painted and I'll shampoo the other rug and make a little set up of chairs here.

Beginning the morning like this... I finished these boxes. Beloved took the "high dressers out to the garage. I had unloaded them yesterday. I made all those curtains and vallence. I will have to recover the door.

I took my leather wedding dress down and put the wedding ring quilt on the wall.
The vacuum and carpet cleaner will come into play during the week. I will shampoo this end of the house.

I removed all the drapery (dusty!) and left the hardware up for the new owners to use as they like.

This pink and burgundy has to go. So I had to "kill" it with a primer. It is stubborn.

It is really surprising how difficult it is to cover. The burgundy just keeps coming through. Two to three coats did it.

same with this wall and the commode.

Sorry side ways picture. It is just about how I feel. I went outside for some fresh air and decided to do this post and rest a bit.
Well post is done as is my rest.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
