Thankful Tuesday: No More Mosquito Netting
- CHOCOLATE
- abundant JOBS
- hot SHOWERS
- indoor toilets, and
- no need for MOSQUITO NETS in the home
While living in my small Asian provincial town, house windows remained open for air circulation in the hot, humid temps. A/C that would keep us cool and our windows closed and kept bugs at bay was unheard of back in the day. We had no window screens neither and definitely no repellant sprays .
Yet, by God's grace, we remained healthy. How? One way was with the consistent use of mosquito netting while we slept at night. No matter how plain,ugly or fancy, the mosquito net did its job. Mosquito-borne diseases be gone (the most common in my area were malaria and dengue).

Survey: Costs of Home Renovations in Year 2017
We went over our budget, eeek.
We tried to be careful: prioritizing in repairing/replacing what was most decrepit. At the end we did not have even enough for a new driveway (among the top 5 priority list at the beginning of our renovation journey). May the Lord God provide in Year 2019!
Instead, we gave preference to renovating our floating-steps staircase. The stairs are the first things seen as the front doors open. It connects the upstairs to the downstairs, and since much of the first and second floor areas got renovated, well, you get my (matchy-matchy) drift ...

Every way of a man is right
in his own eyes:
but the Lord
pondereth the hearts.

Doubletree Hilton: President Abraham Lincoln Hotel, Springfield
We stayed in Room #914 which faced the multi-floor parking garage. We could have parked our Toyota and seen it if we had known ahead of time of our location. The Amtrak station was mere blocks away and train whistles were heard, but not too late into the night. Also heard possibly drunken people in the hallway. Wedding Reception in the house?!! The sound of the shower on full-blast next door was unmistakable.
No fridge, microwave oven, nor free bottled water. Otherwise, more than adequate, comfortable, and clean. Love the orange theme and Abraham Lincoln artwork (this was the Lincoln Hotel, after all). The bathroom wall had a very thickly embossed wallpaper which was attractive. Asked for two full-size beds because hubby and I both snore, LoL.
Paid over $137 total for one night. I would love to be able to afford a suite or corner room which were likely housed in the upper floors. See link pics below. Pretty sure many out-of-town politicians or politically-connected people have been housed at this hotel because of its location in the capital of the State of Illinois. A room card was needed to operate the elevator. This, in addition to other measures, would have been more than adequate to ensure safety. Our security system is first and foremost prayers to the Lord Jesus Christ for safety, and personally staying alert. As usual, He who never slumbers heard us, praise God.
