Happy Homemaker Monday

Hosted by Sandra@ Diary of the Stay at Home Mom

Today's Weather 

Rain all day today, bringing  about 2 inches to our area.  Temperature now is 69 degrees.  We are dues to have on and off showers all week   with mild temps til midweek  when  it  becomes more  seasonal  around 80.

As I Look Outside My Window

Dark and dreary, with  intermittent rain at this time..

Right Now  

I have moved out of the den     making way for  hubs to  prep for painting the shelves.  He will take them down stairs   to paint them..  Hopefully he will get around to the    book case  by tomorrow or Wednesday. I have to say I do like the wall color,  called Baja by  Behr, it is  a  sand color  which is the background of our  Karastan rug.   The  teal of the bookcase is the accent color in the rug.  I think it will look  very  nifty  when all done!

Thinking and Pondering

I cannot get our  summer trip out of my mind. Over the weekend I created my packing list and it really helped as I imagined  the various outfits I could make and could mark through the items that just didn't  seem to  work  with the other  clothing.  I  will  actually  start to lay the items out on the bed in about a month to see  how  it is all going to work. But even now I can see what needs to be purchased in advance.

Oh, and I am waiting to hear back from Neil, the Shepherd who runs a Sheep Dog  Demonstration venue on his farm.  I just happened on his web page, but it was so new and unfinished.  There was very little info,  but a friend on a Trafalgar tour  added photos about it on  Facebook this weekend  so I definitely would love to go there!!!

How I Am Feeling This Morning  

After reading  about my back situation as  described on the c scan I had  I now know how best to address  the pain and it calls for  bed rest   in an include positions, so  it makes sense for me now to just go to the bed in thee evenings to watch tv  propped up in bed which I did last night to watch the conclusion to  When Calls the Heart. They seemed to tie up every  role and situation. It makes me wonder if that was  the last season. I hope  not,  but there again  the actors may be ready to   begin   a new project.  

On The Breakfast Plate

I had  coffee, 2 fried eggs, each on a half of a small crescent.    Sounds like a ton,  but it was  so delish. But today will be  a  lighter  day of eating.  So I am not too concerned.  Heehehe

On My Reading Pile

  Haven't been able to attend  BS  for a couple of weeks  and cant this week due to therapy.  My  through the Bible  reading assignment is Genesis 38-42.  I am going to  sort through my Lynn Kurland books and find a new book to read   about  time travel in Scotland...just to  titillate my  mind and senses!!!

On My TV 

 I  enjoy vlogs on YouTube,  Fox News, Sky News from Australia, Hall M ark, esp, When calls the Heart,  HGTV, and Food Channel. I really  like The Kitchen,   and Fixer to Fabulous.. 

Their transformations are truly Fabulous!!!!!

 

On The Menu

Monday: Lynn is making his  fabulous kale, and we both have left over Chinese from yesterday

Tuesday Chicken salad on crescent and a salad

Wednesday dinner out

Thursday no plans

Friday  possible dinner out again 😊

 Around the House  

Our all points bulletin issue is the book case this week.  It all depends on how much impetus Lynn puts on getting started. It is so dark and drear today he probably  or may just get the shelves  off and to the basement and perhaps wash the bookcase itself down  really well.

From The Camera

Last week I shared how pretty the knock out roses were doing,  but  this week I noticed that the climbing rose had a couple of gorgeous blooms om it and I really hated to cut them,  but with the  torrential wain we are getting now I am glad I asked Lynn to run out and get a cutting of  one...  The other  was  a little too far along!
