Life is busy

Spring is coming around the corner,or so we thought, had this great plan of getting my oldest son to fill up the cold frame with compost an dirt,then as soon as I come home from our young ladies sewing of making dresses for our girls I wanted to plant all the garden goodies, now it surprised us in the night with rain an ice,so will have to wait a bit longer,
My days are filled with cooking, cleaning,laundry Teaching and training 8children for the Lord,And our home based business as a Independent Reliv Distributor . We are at the point of Honey Buns stepping in to help more,as it grows.there are so many sick and needy folks out there in need of better health, its such a blessing to watch them get well. 

Our home

 this is the office and sewing room what you see is a half inch
layer of cement on top of other cement that was cracked and
soaked through with dog urine which we took up and washed
floor with three moppings of bleach water and then painted it.  

 this is part of the kitchen after it was painted and wall paper
border put up,and cupboard doors put back on that were
hanging on one hinge.  

This is part of living and dining room,this too, is after painting
and papering is done,somehow I lost the before cleaning
pictures on the part of the house.

This is the bedroom was the worst room in the house,
and did it ever stink in there ,being it was the dogs room.
had dark paneling, before we painted it, also painted the
floor after many washings and put carpeting down, making it
almost the nicest room in the house.

This is the living room before any thing was done to it, we did
take this carpet out as simply could not get it clean,
which too got many mopings done then painted to seal off the
smell and put new carpet down,and painted the wall.

This is the dining room the main room being in good condition
only needed to paint it and it was ready, it has a nice wood grain
floor covering it  

This is the kitchen and I really love it. The door goes out to a
enclosed back porch,with our two freezers ,and also a great
place for all our coats and boots.

Pictures of our old house . How it looked before we moved in.

A new giveaway is in the air

My what would we do without the love of friends around us, they decided to have a house warming and grocery shower to welcome us to this new community ,so folks started coming with food and gro. like I'v never seen before,just look at all this stuff on the table,my two little ones hardly know where to begin.
plus theres a whole lot more in the freezer of hamburger,sausage,bacon,ham,summer sausage frozen breads,and cookies, casseroles, how did they all know what we needed , actually I believe it was God. working through the loving hands of his Saints.Once again God has proved himself true, for he said I will supply all your needs.
next time I,m hoping to add some before and after pictures of this house ,if I can figure my camera out, I see I don;t have the dates set right on it. I'm rather new at all this but am slowly learning.

Good by Logging

I need to update this a bit on July nine my husband quit his logging job, it was just to hard on his health,causing him allergies, and a cough until he had to through up.So on Sat. mourning he called around at diff carpenter crews to see if anyone needs another worker,and nobody did so he drudgingly went for the woods again.

     But that same evening our neighbor call to see if he could come and have a visit with us ,we said sure come on down,then he said that theres a gazebo shop all fixed up and ready to go,and he'd like to buy it, but needs someone to work in it and wondered, if him and the boys are interested in it,and they were so by Monday morning he had a new and better job. doesn't God work in wonderful ways,He see our need and supply's it.   

Heres a picture of what he made.

Moving again

Once again we have packed up and moved to a new location.  We all hope not to ever move again any time soon.Two times within six weeks does keep a person on its toes. We do feel sorry for the owener we were renting from because after we had found another house to rent and were pretty much moved, the buyer they had for their place fell through. But the good part of this move is because instead of 25 miles to church and school,we now only have a half mile. Now isn't that a blessing!

This house is where we had been for six weeks,it was nice and clean ready to move.
Now this other house was a total different story,
Was a empty house for a couple of month,and in great need of painting and cleaning,who ever lived here at one point had ten great Dane dogs in here creating quite a mess and smell.had to take out all the carpeting and realy  scrub everything were planning to just paint the hard wood floor that was under the carpet.because at places the dog urine seeped right through into the wood.we painted it all and someone with a very kind heart heard of it and got things rounded up and ordered carpeting and had it installed and paid for.was so unexpected it was hard to quit know how to handle it.

and then of all things the day we moved two ladies called to see if I have enough curtians for this house,which I didn't. Cause this house has 21windows plus 3 door windows,and can you believe it three of these dear Ladies went together and got rods and curtians and put them all up.

This picture is where we now live, and are just loving it.

Supper time on the evening we moved. and a few of the many willing helpers It took 5 hours to get everything loaded at the first place and unloaded again at second place.
