I like to spend a little time exploring but I don't want to spend/waste all day. At the end of the morning I had spent $7 and acquired some things I had hoped for.<br />
<br />
First of all, I found an arm chair to re-purpose for our little living room. It doesn't look too pretty yet, but I will post pictures as soon as it does..<br />

I have another eyesore in our apartment that I've been trying to determine what I can do to resolve. Our fireplace screen is a little outdated so I have an idea. Make a screen to cover it, and make it pretty. Today I found a large "Sofa size" painting. The picture isn't great but the size is right and the frame is good. So for $2 I bought an experimental piece of art.<br />

I also bought 2 new bags of fiber fill. Just what I need to make some pillows. Woo-hoo! Good day for yard sales.<br />
<br />
We also had some serious lookers at the motor home. Guess we'll have to wait and see if they are really interested.<br />

We spend one day a week with one of the Reynolds' kids, just shopping or playing or whatever they choose.<br />
<br />
Billy has been wanting to learn to golf, but since he is still in baseball season, Tommy decided to work on some baseball training to enhance Billy's game. They played catch and practiced hitting and seemed to really have fun.<br />

While they played outside, I was playing inside. Since we moved here I have been wanting to re-purpose a small credenza I bought in Virginia Beach and put it to use. I have already painted it and moved it into the living room, but had not finished the tabletop arrangement. So I went back to work on it. I showed in an earlier post the lamp I re-purposed. I already showed a mirror that I bought for $3 at Salvation Army. I decided to paint it...<br />

I really like the mirror but it looked too dull to me. So I decided to experiment with some shading and this is how it looks now...<br />

Today began when George and Becky Chasse and Mya came by and picked us up to spend some time together, while seeing some sights of RI. We saw Wakefield, Jamestown, Narragansett and Galilee, but my favorite was Beaver Tail Lighthouse</div>

We are finally legal drivers in Rhode Island. We got our official Rhode Island Driver's Licenses today. I know they don't look so official but we'll be getting the real deal within 2 weeks or so. Things definitely don't work quite as quickly here, but that's ok. There are some advantages to being behind the times. Life is slower here. Crime is lower here. And these northerners are really quite nice!</div>

So we decided to move the cedar chest from the dining room and make the dresser into a dining room server. It would provide more storage as well as give another surface for serving when we have company. It was a sturdy piece of furniture but it was dirty and somewhat banged up. So I went to work to make it pretty. Here are the before pictures:<br />

Today is the day that Beacon Free Will Baptist Church begins a new approach to Sunday School. Because of limited classroom space, we have had a minimal number of class options for our people. Now that we are settled in our new building, Pastor Reynolds felt it was time to re-organize and attempt to "grow" our Bible study/Sunday School.<br />
<br />
Today we will have an adult class, a young couple's class, teens, upper elementary, lower elementary, pre-school and nursery.<br />
<br />
I am privileged to be teaching the upper elementary class. Here are pictures from our first day<br />

Anyone with RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) can sympathize. For some reason my medication is not working! Oh well! There is always something to be added to my blog and maybe I'll get sleepy in the process.<br />
<br />
We spent last evening watching the events unfold near Boston, where the second of two suspects in the Marathon Bombings was apprehended. We were glued to the television all evening, which, by the way, is not normal for me. My heart has been broken as the stories emerge about the victims and their unimaginable injuries, and the loss of life. Of course, my heart goes out to the first responders who will forever have those images etched in their minds. What about the medical personnel whose medical expertise kicked in and emotions had to be squelched? What about the families whose lives are forever changed? And then, I wonder, what caused the suspects to do what they are alleged to have done?<br />
<br />
Simplistic as it may seem, any of our lives lived apart from God and his purpose and plan can lead us down roads that we never imagined possible. It is so important that we acknowledge that God created us for a purpose. He created us to bring honor and glory to Him. When we choose to ignore Him and go our own way, we have chosen the path of ultimate destruction. Our path may not look as extreme and destructive as others, but the potential is there.<br />
<br />
I was recently reminded of the great blessing that I had as a child to be born into a home where my parents loved God and taught me to love Him too. They taught me how Jesus died on the cross and rose again, paying for my sins. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior when I was five years old and God has guided me and enabled me to live for Him for these many years.<br />
<br />
The answer is simple, but not easy. Jesus is the answer. The problem is that our world has rejected Him for so long and we have been silent for too long and we have a whole generation of people who do not even know who Jesus is, much less that He died for their sins. May God help us to be bold and loving in our witness so that others can come to know our Lord and Savior. I wonder what would have happened if a loving Sunday School teacher or Pastor had reached this family with the gospel many years ago? We have today! We have our circle of influence! What will we do with our opportunities?Sue's Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02118269801512761868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778395402850163651.post-11689131136615817702013-04-18T20:49:00.000-04:002013-05-15T14:05:46.645-04:00There's Been a Change in PlansA few days ago we decided to refinish the dining room furniture rather than painting. Well, after trying to clean and refinish, it has become apparent that painting is our best option. I began painting 2 days ago and at this point, all six chairs have received their first coat of paint. The second coat should be a little easier.<br />
<br />
I also secured chair cushions at a thrift store yesterday and pillows for the extra two chairs. We both really like the look of the painted chairs, so the change in plan is fine. I can't wait to see the finished project. Here is what they look like at this point....<br />

I have a wall or two or three of pictures of grandchildren. Contrary to what he says, you do not have to bow when you come in. You only have to acknowledge how beautiful they are!!<br />
<br />
Well, in our new apartment we were planning to have a "Tommy" shrine for police plaques, etc. However, there isn't much wall space available that would be large enough for such a shrine. So a compromise was in order and this is what we came up with...<br />

Seriously, this is such an important part of our life, we both wanted to give it a place in our home. I think it turned out nice and pretty. I am so proud of my husband's accomplishments. However, I am most thankful for all the ways God blessed us during a potentially dangerous career.Sue's Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02118269801512761868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778395402850163651.post-66544996357119380412013-04-02T21:39:00.002-04:002013-04-13T20:22:16.803-04:00SHOPPINGMy carefully planned day began with quiet time, exercise, breakfast and then off to do my weekly shopping.<br />
<br />
The fun began with a trip to Marshall's, then TJ Maxx, Salvation Army and HomeGoods. Mixed in with those pleasant moments, I did necessary grocery shopping as well. Seriously, I enjoy grocery shopping and am thankful for the opportunity to choose quality food to prepare for our family. However, the other kind of shopping is my favorite. Today was no exception as I finally found an affordable bedspread for our guest room, AND I found a Spring wreath, Spring tablecloth and a gift for a special friend on clearance at Marshall's. I will post a picture of the bedspread when we get the mattress, but for now, here is the wreath and tablecloth. I can't post the other since my special friend might read the blog. I don't want to spoil her surprise....oh, I forgot...it's already packaged up and ready to mail. So I couldn't post it anyway. Silly me!!<br />

This blog may seem a little trivial, but I want to be reminded of the everyday blessings that God pours out. Rather than complaining and stressing, I want to remember and show gratitude for all the ways that He allows us to enjoy His blessings...markets with safe and tasty food, stores with affordable furnishings and gifts. We may not always enjoy the bounty that we enjoy today, but while we do, let us be grateful.Sue's Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02118269801512761868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778395402850163651.post-68435316942677216882013-04-01T21:21:00.000-04:002013-04-13T19:59:28.986-04:00More Guest Room PreparationsNow we are trying to get the guest room ready for our first visitors since we moved in.<br />
<br />
We purchased an oak bed on "CraigsList' (for $20), another blessing from the Lord. However, the side rails and slats were old and rusty. So today was the day to sand them and paint them in preparation for the new mattress that will be delivered in a few days.<br />
<br />
I think that sanding is probably my least favorite part of painting. However, it is a very necessary step, so sand I did. I forgot to take pictures before I painted them, but here is the finished product...<br />

Many days have passed since my last entry, but our life has not been dull or boring for sure. More about that later.<br />
<br />
I have been pondering what we are celebrating today. I don't think I do a very good job of truly understanding all that it means. However, what I do know is that the work on the cross was finished and my salvation was paid in full. What wondrous love! Our heavenly Father was willing to give His only begotten Son to die on a cross so that we could be reconciled to Him and spend eternity with Him in heaven.<br />
<br />
My prayer today is that my gratitude will be so obvious to all those I meet that they will want to come to know my Savior too. There must be a regular reminder of the Resurrection, I believe, in order for us to radiate our love and gratitude to our God.<br />
<br />
As we spend time worshiping today, and spending time with family and friends, let us remember the One who was willing to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Let us be true witnesses of what happened on that day so many years ago. God in flesh willingly died, was buried and rose again, victorious over death, hell and the grave, so that we can have eternal life in heaven with Him.<br />
<br />
By the way, God has been at work in our lives in unbelievable ways since my last entry. So I will be re-tracing our steps and trying to fill in the blanks. Check out the new blog entries in the past as well as the future.<br />
<br />
We enjoyed gathering with our church family at Beacon Free Will Baptist Church and here are pictures of the precious children who attend our church...<br />

After church the Pastor and his family gathered with us at our house for lunch. Later in the afternoon another family, the Muschiano's came over with their children and we had an egg hunt for the kiddos. I think they all enjoyed the fun, even the older kids.<br />

It's in relatively good condition and refinishing is definitely do-able. But I tend to like the re-purposed, shabby chic look. In my mind I knew that staining/re-finishing would be the easier job, but was still unsure.<br />
<br />
Well, Tommy finally voiced his preference, so I began the re-finishing process. Even though the furniture is sturdy and sound, is is very soiled from age and use. So the cleaning and preparation for the task will take awhile. I began that task today. Hopefully, I will complete one chair per day. Seriously, this is a time-consuming endeavor.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the first one<br />

<br />
Along with my work on the chairs, Tommy began constructing a picture ledge for our bedroom. Those of you who have been in our home in the past, you know that I love to show pictures of our grandchildren. Well, landlords frown on so many nail holes so we asked permission to hang ledges to display our pictures. We got the idea from a magazine and "tweeked" it to meet our need. Tommy got a pretty piece of wood trim and backed it with another piece to hang on the wall and place our pictures on the ledge. No matter what size or shape, they "hang" evenly and safely. Cool idea and such a sweet husband to once again bring my magazine pictures to life.<br />

One of the challenges has been to set up housekeeping again after living in a motorhome for over a year. When we decided to begin traveling full time to help our home missionaries, we sold most of our furniture, stored some things and incorporated our essentials into the RV.<br />
<br />
We have been able to secure most of what we needed to set up housekeeping in our two-bedroom duplex. However, two items that most of us like to have conveniently located in our own home is a washer and dryer. We had been watching "CraigsList" for a bargain, but it just had not happened yet.<br />
<br />
One of the young couples at our church has 4 little ones and their washer and dryer had become a little small to meet the demands of their growing family. The husband, along with Pastor Bill, went to purchase a new larger washer and dryer and when the young man learned of our need, he told the Pastor that we could have their old set. Yes, I said, FREE!<br />
<br />
We had been trekking over to the Reynolds' weekly to do laundry and now we have our own laundry center in our own basement! We are so thankful to the Reynolds for allowing us to invade their space every week, our young friends for sharing with us and we are thankful to God for once again meeting our needs.<br />

So on one of my thrift store visits while in Virginia Beach, I was able to pick up some basic items and I put a small wreath together for our side door.<br />
<br />
It turned out OK, just a little skimpy. I'll try to improve before next Spring. Here's my feeble attempt...<br />

I called her yesterday to see if she wanted to go up to Williamsburg to shop with Brenda and eat at a local eatery. She agreed, so this morning I traveled to her home and picked her up.<br />
<br />
The ride was uneventful and the conversation was random, but I am so glad to still be able to talk to my Mom. She always wants to know how the grandkids are doing and what is going on with us. So we chatted and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, noting that the leaves are just beginning to turn.<br />
<br />
We arrived at our destination just ahead of Brenda. The shop we were visiting was "Three Peas and a Bean". Funny name, but lovely gift shop with lots of jewelry and accessories, as well as furnishings and accessories for the home. I found some of the jewelry that I "needed" and then we decided to go to "Charming Charlie" for the other piece that I "needed". I found what I "needed" there and we made our way to the "Chickahominy House" for lunch. This is a local eatery known for its country ham biscuits. Mom and Dad use to go there frequently and she seemed to really enjoy going there today. We enjoyed our lunch, shopped a little in their gift shop and then we headed for home. Mom was tired but I think she had a good time. I am so thankful to God for the godly parents that I was allowed to have, and I am thankful that Mom is still able to enjoy some fun times with us.Sue's Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02118269801512761868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778395402850163651.post-80710178945422913212012-09-30T16:49:00.000-04:002012-10-02T12:04:51.529-04:00Sunday at GatewayThank you Lord for a wonderful day at church. Brother Tim McCreight is our Sunday School teacher and we appreciate him and Stephanie so much. The spirit in our class is so sweet and I love getting to know the people that have joined our class while we were in Rhode Island. God is at work in so many lives and it is thrilling to watch.<br />
<br />
The morning worship service spoke to my heart as we sang songs and listened as others sang. The choir song "Revive Us Again" is my prayer, and the ladies' trio sang "He is Here". His presence was evident. Our pastor preached from Malachi 3 and reminded us that tithing is in God's Word and other reasons why tithing is essential. Our personal experience has certainly proved God's faithfulness. He has opened the windows of heaven and showed Himself faithful so many times. I appreciate Pastor Patrick for being willing to remind us of the importance of trusting God for all we need.<br />
<br />
The evening service focused on the Lord's Supper and the challenge for self-examination. Then we practiced the washing of the saint's feet which is always a sweet time of sharing prayer and praise, and fellowshipping. "Search me O God and know my heart..." Psalm 139:23Sue's Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02118269801512761868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778395402850163651.post-53813652097638416442012-09-29T12:05:00.000-04:002013-04-02T20:17:15.509-04:00RAINY DAYS ARE PART OF GOD'S PLANYard Sale/Estate Sale/Moving Sale...rainy day. ugh! Well, we are attempting to finish up the process of clearing out the house of a friend today. The weather is messy and we have only had a few shoppers.<br />
<br />
In spite of the rain, I love the way God gives us opportunity to connect with people and change our plans to accomplish His purpose. While sitting and waiting, I was able to chat with a precious young woman and get a glimpse of her heart. I pray that as I shared my heart with her, she will be encouraged to think about the Lord and give Him His rightful place in her heart.<br />
<br />
I love you Lord and I lift my voice, To worship You, O my soul, rejoice!<br />
Take joy my King, in what you hear. May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.Sue's Spacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02118269801512761868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778395402850163651.post-46925355614955388342012-09-27T04:33:00.000-04:002013-04-02T20:16:22.327-04:00Table and chair makeoverHere is another of my projects from my yard saling with Brenda, my sister. We found the "free" table and I was checking it out to see if the wobbly legs were fixable. Silly me...I failed to realize that the glass top was not attached and when I tipped the table, the glass fell and shattered all over the driveway. Needless to say, I was embarrassed and I'm sure the seller was surprised at my lack of judgment. At this point, I was not about to leave the table no matter what. She just wanted it gone. Brenda took it home and took it apart and cleaned it up and stored it until I could get around to doing something with it. This is what it looked like before I started<br />

I also found this little blue chair. It was heavy and sturdy and only $1. So I grabbed it, not knowing exactly what it would look like. Brenda suggested I sell them as a set, so I went to work on them...wood glue, paint, wooden insert for table top painted with chalkboard paint.<br />

I decided to give it a new look, however. It was a "This-End-Up" style table with the standard stain look all over. I forgot to take a "before" picture. Sorry! This one hasn't sold yet, but hopefully it will.<br />

My next project was an antique chair we found at an estate sale, tucked away in the garage. It was pretty sound, but the original finish was damaged, so it had to be painted. I did remember to take "before" pictures. So here they are:<br />

Today dawned beautifully. We had been looking forward to this day for awhile. Back in the Spring I noticed a deal on "Groupon" that I thought would be fun. A cruise up the Potomac River to see Mount Vernon was advertised and we agreed it would be a fun thing to do. Well, today's the day!<br />
<br />
<br />
We spent last night in Waldorf, Maryland so we wouldn't have to get up so early to drive to Washington, DC, to embark on our journey. We left early enough in the day to be able to shop a little. As usual, our goal was to find some clothes for me, but Tommy was the lucky one today. Oh well! It was fun shopping in a different mall.<br />
<br />
Our cruise was to leave the docks at 8:30 a.m. which meant we needed to board at 8:15. So we left our motel at 7:00 to be sure the traffic didn't make us late.<br />

It's a good thing we did. DC drivers are crazy...just saying! We had buses and cars and cabs cutting us off, trying to run us over, blowing horns, etc. What an adventure!<br />

We arrived with a few minutes to spare, got a parking spot really close and set out with our camera in hand.<br />

The boat trip took about 1 1/2 hours and it was lovely! We saw Reagan National Airport, (I found it very interesting that the airport was built so close to the river!)<br />
