Happy Homemaker Monday - Mar. 9,2020

-
Good Morning everyone! Sorry that this is late, but I just have been so busy and falling behind on so many things that I refuse to let this one pass by without getting a post written. For those that might not know what Happy Homemaker Monday is stop and see Sandra at Diary of A Stay At Home Mom.

Now let's get right to this post. 

**THE WEATHER** …
        The weather here was nice, but windy, yesterday and now it is raining. We are in for a week of mid 50 temps with lows in the 30's and 40's, but rain most of the week. That makes for a grumpy grand doll and Mammaw. 

**HOW I AM FEELING THIS MORNING**…
        I am feeling okay this morning. Quite tired actually. My days have been rather hectic lately and I would like a day to just rest, but that will not happen today with the grand doll here. 

**ON MY MIND**…
       There are many things on my mind this morning. My husband and I leave for a vacation in two weeks and I know there are many things I need to do before that. Also, my daughter's fiancé lost his step grandfather a few days ago and the funeral is going to be hard for him today. The grandfather will be buried next to where his daughter is buried and he still struggles with her loss. 

**ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE**…
       There will be hard boiled eggs with sausage or bacon. I believe the grand doll will probably have a hard boiled egg with an English muffin. It will be a quick and easy breakfast with her here. 

**ON MY READING PILE**…
      I don't know what I am planning to read next other than my Bible. I have hardly had time for anything like that. I am still working on a quilt that I might finish by Christmas. 

**ON MY TV**…
      The news. It is a morning ritual with my husband and we usually alternate what channels we watch as he likes our local news and I prefer the Today Show.

**ON THE MENU THIS WEEK**…
      I haven't even got a plan this week, but I know tonight is going to be pork steaks with crushed French fried onions on them. I know we will be having asparagus with it as well. 

**FROM THE CAMERA**…
        
These are items that can be found at my website. A fabulous way to decorate your home and fragrance it at the same time. 

**LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE**…
       So much to do. I have to get things picked up and run the vacuum today. I also will need to clean my kitchen again after I prep for the week. 

**CHORE I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO TODAY OR THIS WEEK**…
         I am not looking forward to cleaning my office this week. It has been neglected for a few weeks and so it is a mess. I am combining it with my craft area as well and that makes for a very messy area if I don't work on it quite often. 

**TO RELAX THIS WEEK, I WILL**…
         I have no idea other than when I am sleeping. I have too many things to do. This week is full of activities. 

**ON MY PRAYER LIST**
       The President and our government
       Those suffering from the Coronavirus
        My daughter's fiancé
        My friends and family

**DEVOTIONAL/ BIBLE VERSE**

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic. As a child and a teen, I loved the Boxcar Children series written by Gertrude Chandler Warner and could not wait to read this book again. I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings. They feel that they have to make it on their own to stay together. One day while walking in the woods, they discover an abandoned boxcar and decide that they will make it into their home. The children use items that the find at the local dump and in the woods to make items that they need for the home. The oldest brother does odd jobs to fe...

  New author alert!  Marie Spears Botkin is a new author, and this book is available on Amazon. All readers should step into The Sparkle Forest. Is it a real place or a place in Avery's dream? Is it real or imaginary? The story begins with Avery, a child in the foster system, being new in town learning of a bridge in the town of Cloud that has an interesting story behind it.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
