WOW!! was my response when I saw the amazing job a fellow church member did on the door handle I found at the Village Salvage in Waynesville. Beautiful and amazing!
They have a TON of door parts. But they said I needed to get the existing lock mechanism out of the door and bring it down to ensure a perfect fit. Sounds easy, right? No. My husband and I tried to get the mechanism out but couldn’t figure it out. Then came Larry and Don, two talented carpentry minded men from church who made it their mission to get this door operating correctly again. Finally the entire lock was out and we were able to make a trip back to Waynesville. Josh at Village Salvage was great. He took the parts I had and pulled everything together. He even had a door handle that fit the exiting holes in the door AND had the octagon shaped rosettes I needed to match! (It was a God thing! Sooo Cool!) Once back home, Don went to work to get the handle and lock back in. The new lock and key (smaller component than the whole locking mechanism) was a little short because of the thickness of the door and octagonal rosette, so he set off to find one that would work. Once we had everything we needed, we set up a time for him to put it all back together while I was a work. Little did I know he was going to polish everything too! Look at that beauty!! Who knew there was a diamond under those years of tarnish. What a showpiece. Shout out to my husband, Larry and Don for all of the effort in getting this door working again. I am so thankful to have people in my life who appreciate treasures like these, and although old, make them shine again! Do you have a treasure that you have brought back to life? Or maybe you have treasures like these three men :) I would love to hear your story. Share in the comments below.
One of the great attributes of this vacation rental site is that you are asked to give a review of your stay. In turn, the host gives a review of your visit to their space.  Here’s what Hannah wrote
“We were driving cross country and not sure what to expect when we found ourselves in what felt like the middle of nowhere, Ohio. Then we pulled into Roberta’s place and it was the loveliest surprise! The whole place is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. My mother who was traveling with us loved the sitting area and antique decorations. There was a fully stocked kitchen, complete with extra touches like a coffee station that made us feel at home. The beds were quite comfortable, and the shower was fantastic. My son loved the box of children’s toys in the living room. We would definitely stay again if we’re ever in the area. Thanks Roberta for a lovely stay!” I am thrilled they enjoyed their stay in the middle of nowhere, Ohio. (I had to chuckle at that!) I appreciate her glowing review and hope they will visit again and stay longer to seek out the other treasures in our area. They may find that this little part of nowhere is a great place to explore! Yesterday in our church service we were encouraged to think of the first activity we remembered doing with our Moms. I have been thinking about it, and decided that I wanted to share these thoughts with you.
My sister and I helped by snapping and shelling beans and peas and by weeding the garden. I also remember shelling popcorn by rubbing the ears together to pop the kernels off and into the dishpan. When I was little I remember making mud pies in one corner that later became my own garden plot for 4H.
Mom processed a lot of what she grew. She canned tomatoes and beans and froze bags of sweet corn. She made dill pickles, which were always my favorite. It sure was good to have all of that food all year long, but I look back and now realize how much work that garden was for her. I especially appreciate learning this skill from my mom and inheriting hard work from her. As an adult I also gardened when we lived on the farm and while our business was small. My kids got to enjoy the fruits of our labor like I did. Now my oldest son and his wife have their own home, and they are looking to start a small garden, and my youngest misses eating fresh corn and green beans. Canned and frozen food from the grocery just cannot compare. One funny thing I remember from this experience was after I got my bath in the evening, my mom would use the same bath water to wash her dirty feet from the garden! We didn't have a shower; just one bath tub. Today I jump in the shower after working in the yard, but I guess back she just felt the need to wash her feet. Funny how things change. What memories do you have of your mom this Mother's Day season?
A couple of years ago I dealt with elevated stress issues at work while my son was struggling with bullying issues at school. Together this stress contributed to temporomandibular joint, or TMJ disorder in my jaw. My face and teeth hurt. Opening my mouth for a sandwich was painful. Chewing a steak was not even possible. Thanks to my dentist and online research, I found that by managing my stress and wearing a mouth guard each night, I was able to reduce the symptoms of TMJ to where eating is not much of a problem anymore. I still grind my teeth at night and have jaw pain when stress levels increase, but I am much more aware of my stress and how my body is reacting to it.
3. Essential Oils - I have a mini diffuser at work, a diffuser in my bedroom, and personal diffusers on me - necklaces, earrings and bracelets. I massage my jaw and outer ear area up to my temple with peppermint and rosemary, diluted with almond oil. Sometimes I just put oils in my hands and smell them. Aromatherapy sure helps me. 4. Prayer and meditation - I have a spare bedroom that is a quiet place for me. I will sometimes escape to this room for a few minutes for some quiet time with God. Writing in a prayer journal or a gratitude journal can help us focus on the positive things in our lives. 5. Truly escape - Book a weekend (or longer) away!
Lion’s Park is only a few blocks away with a walking path along the Mad River - take a blanket and a book and enjoy the bubbling sounds of the flowing water. God has a magnificent way of using nature to relieve the stress of the day!
What are some ways you relieve stress? I would love to hear some of the things that work for you.
I appreciate Green Hills and their staff for booking the house for Sharon. Green Hills Community is a fabulous facility that cares for our aging needs either on their campus or at our homes through Universal Home Health. I would highly recommend them!
