Happy Homemaker Monday


Hosted by Sandra@ Diary of the Stay at Home Mom



As I Look Outside My Window

It looks amazing,  the sun is shining so brightly, the colors are heavenly, but it is still pretty cool out.. too cool for me to desire to sit out yet! But perhaps later today!

Right Now  

I have dedicated this morning to cleaning up an area that has been driving me crazy. Mainly, my email.  I had email going back to 2018! Horrors, but embedded were photos sent by my daughter, and some from Hubby’s phone, also, correspondence from dear family and friends I needed to save,  some including addresses I needed to be sure that I have,  it took longer than I thought, but it is really tamed down and actually now I only see correspondence to Amanda as we are planning our trip.  So much better,

Also now, I am cooking for some dinners this week. I found this online 

 I had some hamburger that really needed to be used today  so this  batch of stew will last for at least 3 meals  and sit is  so very tasty   Note the  beautiful red rose  I got  yesterday in church for Mother's Day!!!
The link here is the recipe for Old-Fashioned Hamburger Stew!


Thinking and Pondering

My mind is rather consumed with    the    details of our  planned trip..    where we  can go and do  while in the  local areas.  Once a week Amanda and I  facetime  to discuss  things and plan about booking  etc!


How I Am Feeling This Morning  

I am feeling stronger and   less pain   today.  I  think if the  weather warms up I will put on my hiking boots  and  wall the hill behind our house.    Later that day..  it is 3:00   and I just stepped out on the porch.  Brrr . No  hiking up the hill today!    Where did spring go??

On The Breakfast Plate

WOW, Lynn   wanted to use up the  tad of  sausage we had left over  so he   crumbled it and fried it up  then  added it to some scrambled eggs  and  made some  oven  buttered  toast, and he made his usual  wonderful coffee! So tasty!

On My Reading Pile

  Bible study, assigned Bible reading. Today  is Proverbs chapter 30 and  Revelation chapter 21,22.    We finish both books today.  But  still Joe  tomorrow.  This  reading guide  sort of skips around.  Tomorrows will definitely be Ecclesiastes.  And I'm not sure,  maybe, Genesis. but we did finish the New Testament.   The  reading schedule is found online. Reading  some tour guides and  many websites for  touring ideas.


On My TV 

As usual,  I love  vlogs and  actually been watching  quite a bit of the news on Fox and  new vlogs.  I can hardly believe what all is going on!  Mainly I watch so I will know how to pray... In my mind, prayer is our only recourse!

 

On The Menu

  • M-Old-fashioned Beef stew,   crispy salad and  toasted bread
  • T- Delicious  chicken stir fry, my own recipe..  over  fried rice
  • W- Beef stew into  some soup  stock I have in freezer and grilled cheese sandwich
  • T- Dinner out with friends
  • F-  Baked cod , air fried  potatoes, slaw

 Around the House    and   From The Camera

We finally did decide on the  paint for the den..  and have  smeared a bit on the wall and bookcase  to check it out! Here  you can see the Winter in Paris teal color.  It was the easier of the two colors to choose.  I  love teal and  this  color is actually in  the rug in  this room.  



The walls in the den now are  this cranberry color  which we will be very glad to  be rid of. Loved it  while it was  there,  but  it is time to GO!!  The new color is Baja..  a neutral .  And  this color is also reflected in the floor rug!  IN this room  there are   lots of  wall decor..  a  large  gallery wall .  and double hung windows on 2 walls.  and the bookcase on the    fourth wall so  I think this neutral color will  be  fine there!  Btw, there will be white plantation shutters on the  windows replacing the blinds and the door and other  wood trim will be white.

  2. I love all your color choices. Our spring morphed right into spring. You wouldn't be too cold to walk up a hill around here, it'd be too hot. Ha! Hope you are having a wonderful week.

Farewell

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