Happy Homemaker Monday

Return to DOASAHM here


The weather...
it was  much cooler here today and I actually wore a long sleeve top  because  many times  going into buildings  I freeze...

Right now I am ...
and have been working on the plans for my Friday tea party.. I am inviting, Dottie, Lynne, Judy,  Sandra, Sherry, Corny, and Gerri... my very dearest friends!

I am thinking....
I need to enlarge the dining table... I will serve the food from the living room gate leg table and go all out decorating the dining table with flowers and candles..  I am using my yellow linen  cloth and the  gorgeous Fostoria cut glass dishes I inherited from my grandmother through my mom.  Just a while ago I created  darling little favors  using tulle,  ribbon and  chocolate/ caramel Dove candies..I need to iron my party napkins and chose my  tea cups from my varied collection.  I have a few tea service items that need a bit of polishing  that for another day!

Something fun or interesting that happened....
I developed a bit of gout in my right big toe... ouch. so I was laid up much of the weekend... I was so glad I had something marvelous to watch while in bed.... Over three days I watched The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society  3 times.  To be honest I had somewhat a hard time with the dialect so using the  words at the bottom of the screen helped a lot.. It took 3 viewings to get it all
straight!.  heheheh


On my reading pile....

I Own Britain's Best Home.

From the camera:
Our precious  girls.. Birdie  practices her  ballet poses  when  the camera  comes into view!

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
Pray for the  lost  who  are  bewildered  and  strained to the max...  they  are hopeless   in need of a loving savior!

Devotionals, Bible verses, Worth sharing....

  2. You sound very busy over there getting ready for your tea, can't wait to see the pictures! Sorry about the gout, I remember my mom used to get that and it was quite painful for her. Cute girls. Hope you have a wonderful week!

  4. Ooooo! I would LOVE to come to your tea on Friday, Schotzy! It sounds so lovely! <3 Your girls are precious Love the ballet pose! (I always wanted to be a ballerina, but then I found out that they didn't really take ballerinas with short, stubby, and fat legs. Kind left me out in the cold!) :( Oh, well! Am joining you over this week's prayer requests. Good verse! Blessings for a great rest of the week <3

Farewell

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