I would like to say that I start every day with a BIG glass of water ...
but then, I'd be fibbin. I have a pretty serious problem getting enough water in my system.
During my "all by myself" time this morning,
it occurred to me that I might drink more water if it looked pretty and tasted pretty.
Don't they look wonderful!
I just finished my fifth glass of water flavored with lemon & fresh mint.
Looks Pretty ... Tastes Pretty!
My
"all by myself time"
That's when I get most of my inspiration.
It's when I invite God's cooperation into my day.
When I hear ...
"Listen to what I have to say,
don't disconnect ... pay attention"
Let's do this!
He's the one who helps me
live my life to the fullest...
right down to the water I drink.
Truly Inspirational!

Six months ago my husband and myself bought a mobile home. It was in sad shape. It took us six months to gut it and remodel. Were finally done! I love it. All of our inspiration came from My Hearts Song! So Thank you Geneva! We are 62 and 63 and looking forward to retirement!

Thank you, Deb and congratulations to you and your husband. So happy for you!
DeleteThe water looks wonderful so much so I'm going outside to pull some mint and use some fresh lemons. I love mint in water and in tea. Glad to see you back...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy! Been enjoying the pictures of your garden on fb ... gorgeous! Aren't we lucky to have fresh mint!!
DeleteI've always put lemon slices in water - now I'm going to add mint. Glad you're back. Love your posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Marietta ... it's always, always, always nice to hear from you!
DeleteHey Geneva, it's good to see you. Hope all is well with you and yours. We are good. Kids and grandkids all well. Miss you bunches.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie ... nice to hear from you. Saw some pictures of you and your family on fb ... it was great to see those sweet faces! xo
Deletewe're moving into a manufactured home...renting it. it's a 70's issue and not very...um, charming. like with doors that end 3" above the floor and drawers that when pulled on slide all the way down...those are just a few of the things. the walls are simply the very thin 1/4-inch bead board stuff that is mostly plastic. we want to hang art on the wall and we need to attach bookshelves to something...how do you do that when there is nothing behind that fake bead board to even drive a nail into? thank you for replying...jenni farnes .... angelheartcottage@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni ... wish I could help you out. We're pretty careful about what we hang on our walls too. We do have 2x3 bracing but that's pretty small for heavy items. If you removed the bead board and replaced it with a thin sheetrock ... maybe you could add some bracing at that point. Wish I could give you better advise ... you might check with mobilehomeliving.org. She has great tips on there for MH owners.
Deletesuch a beautiful post..I too love my All by Myself Time..the time God regenerates my soul for another day..the infused waters are inviting! been missing your posts..think of you often as hubby and myself have found contentment in our Moby..you were a big factor in that and thankful God used you in that way..blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment! I hope I can do more blogging ... we have so much we want to share about living in a MH. Glad you've found contentment in yours... Yay! Blessings, sweet friend!
DeleteI also am happy to see you back. We purchased a new manufactured home 22 years ago, just a simple basic but sound home with the intention of building. The reason was to get out of a close subdivision and own some land. Due to the fact that my husband had already worked at 2 businesses that had closed and we still had children at we decided once the house sold this would be our option then build when we could. Needless to say that never happened, the children married and moved out and yes my husbands job closed again, however we were in a much better place this time. Have stayed put in our home remodeling when and where we want to make it our "dream" home, it and our land are paid for. We are both 62. All this to say we are still making changes ( don't know that we will ever get it completely done, never did our site build house and have
ReplyDeleteenjoyed your post and the changes you have made to your home which have given me even more ideas.
Thank you for your comment ... yours is a story like so many I've heard. Isn't it a good feeling, knowing we can make our MHs our dream homes! That's how we feel anyway. Bet your home is wonderful! Blessings & Best Wishes!!!
DeleteHi Geneva, the different waters look so thirst quenching! I will have to try your ideas. I know what you mean about all by myself time, I don't see that too much maybe once a year so I may have to add a little adult mix to mine ,god only knows I need it! lol Lisa@ Sweet Tea N' Salty Air
