Happy Homemaker Monday


Return to DOASAHM here


The weather.....
We are experiencing a cold front   with  tons of cloudy, damp days and intermittent showers...  We just had one...  rather dark and  gloomy out...  but I LOVE IT!!!!

Right now I am....
I am enjoying  my fruited yogurt dear Hubs just set before me...  He is  now washing the morning dishes.  I'm one content lady!!

Thinking....I am  sort of  upset with my self for buying into a diet plan  requiring 2 whey shakes  a day for meals...and  then  other  nutritious  items through the day.. problem is  I stood the shakes for a month and then just  had to stop...  Whey  and I just do not jive!!!Problem is I have  2  unopened canisters of  shakes  that  last  for 2 months left over...  but the good news is  I have learned to cut back, eat less, and am  still losing weight...YAYAYAYA

Something fun or interesting that happened....
 I am loving my new bathroom downstairs here on the main level...well, the  shower isn't complete..  the panel  couldn't be  installed so  we still await that but  the rest of the room is  ready to go!!!!



We are so delighted!!!

On my reading pile....
Last week while  we  visited Charlottesville,  I found a used book store...  Both of our are out of business so  I  enjoyed perusing the shelves... I love   stories with a Scottish flair...  Because  tribute to the author caught my fancy, -"
In the style of Rosamund Pilcher" I took a chance of   ALexandra Raife's   book, Mountain Heather.  I love a good storyteller!!!

I also purchased a copy of James Herriot's,  The Lord God Made Them All.  
I read  a borrowed copy of this years ago  and I  decided to have my own copy would be well worth my while!!

Right now I am reading Ann Graham Lotz's book, 

The Daniel Key: 20 Choices That Make All the Difference , a wonderful study for the summer!


On my TV.....
I  have pretty much been watching Call the Midwives  non Stop  last week..  I LOVED IT  so much!!!!  I cried with  happiness,  with nostalgia and  just share the  agony right along with  the  characters...Definitely one of my favorite shows of all time!!!

On the menu for this week....
no plans this week

On my to do list....
 laundry 
vacuum the living room and  dust
Work on 2 bedrooms

In the craft basket....Nothing at the moment.

Looking around the house....
Everything was so topsy -turvy during the renovation,  we finally got the den and dining room back in good shape,  now  for the ones mentioned  above!!!

Prayers for...

The President and his family, and  the administration
Pray that  all the scandals and investigations will finally  be resolved and  justice  meted out.
For the God's best person be  quickly  voted into the  Supreme Court  position
Pray that the scales  that delude so many will fall off  the  many and  that they will find peace, truth, and salvation
Pray  against division and  the hatred  that  runs rampant
Pray for the sick that they might be healed


Devotionals, Bible verses, Worth sharing....

  7. Thanks for all the kind comments regarding the bathroom redo...it surely was a long time coming and there were so many shifts of picking design elements including the paint color... That color is in the beautiful glass beads in the decorative tiles in each niche, but alas their beautiful iridescence doesn't really come through in a photo...In person it all flows nicely..we are very pleased with our finished product!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
