Let’s join Sandra at Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker Monday!
How I am feeling today!:
I am feeling sort of excited about this week.... it is FULL of fun events.. I just hope I can be present in a happy way and not begin to feel overwhelmed..
On my mind::
I was just checking the calendar and this is what I have coming this week!
Monday, today I prepare two food items to take to a Memorial Day Cookout up on the mountain with my dearest friends! I am making a red cabbage slaw and artichoke dip with fresh veg strips.
Tuesday I have Bible study in the morning in a fabulous Community Bible group studying Philippians.. Great group!!
Then one of our group and I hie over to Mac and Bob's, a fun restaurant in the next town, to meet with the 6 sisters group from our church for lunch!
Wednesday, Lynn and I drive an hour to the next large city in Virginia to visit best friends, Vickie and Bill for a cookout. We arrive at 1 to visit and and have a wonderful visit before we start the BBQ.. This will be an all afternoon event. Vickie was my best friend in first grade!
Thursday, praise the Lord I can watch up with myself.. and do somethings around the house!
Friday, I go to Weight Watchers, hoping for the best.. hahah after all the great food! Yikes!!!
Then I go to Montanoes, my favorite restaurant, where the America Pray Now group meets for lunch then prays for the nation! Following this I go to the next town to an important yard sale.. the money is helping the owner pay her way on a Mission trip this summer..
Saturday, Lynn and I drive to my ancestral hometown up in the mountains for a family reunion.
Whew!!!!
On the breakfast plate::
As always I enjoy my coffee and fruited yogurt which Lynn just set before me as I type!
On my reading pile::
I am working in the book, Engaging God"s Word on Philippians.. A great study, very thought provoking questions!!!
On My TV::
When Calls the Heart is a favorite for last night. Otherwise I am watching Youtube programs . I love home shows best.
On the menu today::
Besides breakfast I plan to scramble a couple of eggs and toast an English muffin for lunch then get busy on preparing my Cole slaw and dip!
From the camera::
Looking around the house::
Lynn picked these roses for me .. the first of the season from my David Austen rose bush in the garden!
What I am listening to::
Apple Music, Beegie Adore playing Somewhere over the Rainbow.. She is an amazing jazz pianist. I love her music!!!
What am I looking forward to::
Well, today I am looking forward to being with our dearest friends to celebrate Memorial Day with a wonderful cookout and terrific foods!>. And most of it will be Weight watcher friendly as they are diabetic or on weight watchers with me! Their home is gorgeous up on top of a mountain ridge , part of the Blue Ridge, Their back deck was partially claimed to create a fabulous screened porch.. taht can also be glassed in and heated in the winter. It looks out over a beautiful forested gorge and onto fields of grazing cattle and much wildlife!
To relax this week, I will::
Prayer Requests:
All the many beloved ones who are suffering various illnesses and broken bodies, especially little Jackie, Aubrey, and Cliff who will undergo serious surgery this week.
The terrible riots and hate groups that seek to destroy our nation. Known and unknown world events that are shaking the nations with possible calamity and unrest.
A rapid end of the war in Israel that will bring peace!
Devotional/Bible Verse~
Sounds like a busy, but happy and fun/fellowship filled week, visiting with friends and having some wonderful meals in beautiful places. That mountaintop place you are going to today sounds very lovely indeed! Wow! I know you will enjoy that! We are having a quiet Memorial Day at home as hubby is having a colonoscopy tomorrow, so today is "prep" day...liquid diet, and no leaving the house. I hope your week is filled with much joy and having delightful fellowship. Yes, much to pray for around the world. God Bless America!! We are blessed to have such freedom. Very thankful.
ReplyDeleteHi! I stumbled across your blog and am so glad I found you! Such a sweet place to visit! I wish I were a SAHM but I had a husband that insisted I work. So here I am in my 50's a grandma and still having to work. Blessing to you this Memorial Day! I hope you enjoy your week!
