Happy Homemaker Jan.2,2023

Welcome to the first edition of Happy Homemaker Monday for 2023. If you are not a part of this, join Sandra at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom.


The Weather...

                 It is foggy this morning with many advisories out for driving. It is unseasonably warm and we may break temperature records tomorrow with the high to be 65 degrees F. Extremely warm here with a chance for thunder tomorrow and a chance for snow flurries or a wintery mix on Thursday due to a cold front moving through. It is true that if you don't like the weather in Indiana, just stay a few hours and it will change. 


Right Now I Am...

                 Sitting at the computer desk writing this as my granddoll is still asleep. I am listening to gospel music and enjoying the quiet. 


Thinking....

               I am thinking about the plans for the day. I am also thinking about the work that I need to get accomplished today. 


On My Reading List...

               Quilted Christmas by Ann Hazelwood. This is the final book in Ann's Colebridge Community series. I have not read the rest of the series and that may be why I am struggling to read this. I just find that the story does not seem to capture my attention as I had hoped it would. Maybe by next week you  will know if I have given up or if I have finished the story. 


On My TV...

              Right now, I am listening to music on the TV. Blessed Assurance is the song and The Isaacs are singing it. I know many people would rather listen to contemporary Gospel, but there is a lot of worth to the old hymns that many of us grew up on. "Praising my Savior all the day long.."


Something Fun To Share...

           There really isn't much to say about this. I just found it funny!



On The Menu...

             I truly have not given it much thought. I have some chicken that I need to use this week. My husband asked for a pork chop and stuffing recipe that I used to make often so that may be on there as well. I guess that needs to be added to my weekly list of things to do. 


My To Do List...

              1. Bible Study -* Completed

              2. Wipe Down Kitchen Counters - * Completed

              3. Happy Homemaker Post -

              4. Blog 365 Post - * Scheduled

              5. Bed Sheets and Blankets Laundered -

              6. Grocery Store with Daughter -

              7. Social Media Post for Pink Zebra biz - * Completed

              8. Menu Planning -


In The Craft Basket...

            I will be starting a new Diamond Art Painting later today. I have completed two of them and I love working on them. My husband bought me 5 for Christmas. 


Looking Around...

           I am pleased that there is not much of a mess. I worked really hard to have the Christmas clutter cleaned up before New Years, although I still have décor up. I am pleased that the sweeping, mopping, and dusting that is usually on my Monday list was already finished yesterday. 


From My Camera...

            A picture of a photo. How cute they are!  A visit with Santa is always a good time.


On My Prayer List...

            1. My daughter and son-in-law as they travel home. 

             2. Peace


Bible Verse - Devotional 



I wish everyone the happiest of New Years and I pray that each of you will have a blessed year!

A Grandson

 As I was looking through my posts today, I see that I have failed my readers. Many of you were aware that my other daughter was pregnant and going to deliver in July, I am sure those of you that knew are wondering why I never posted about that and I must say that life has just gotten in the way, and I thought that I had written a post. Since I know I did not, I will now! He came when Mamaw was out of town! Can you believe that? He actually had the nerve to do something so ridiculous as to come while I was at the Pink Zebra reunion (our annual conference). I was with four of my best friends when we got the announcement that he was here! I was so happy that I was able to share that news with them before anyone else. Of course, the leaders of the company were there and anxious to hear how she was doing as well.  Deliver went fairly smooth, but she was in labor for quite a while. I am not sure on hours, but I think about 6 hours. There were some issues with my daughter following delivery

Something is Falling From The Sky

 Yesterday and today have been very cool days here on the farm and I must say that something that we don't recognize has been falling from the sky. It is wet and seems to be hanging around. IT is certainly what the ground needed as it seems to have soaked it up almost immediately. Rain, glorious rain!! The ducks are loving their pool and the rain, but I truly don't think that they are liking the cooler temperatures so much. I know I am not. I don't mind cool, but wearing my sweatshirt in June is not fun.  The white turkeys are enjoying the coop that my husband put together for them. We have 5 of them and two others. We won't be keeping all of the toms as we have too many.  Nesting boxes made of milk crates that we had lying around work well attached to the back wall.  Here is Tom. He is such a great boy, but he likes to show off. He gets along well with the chickens.  These are my Old English chickens. I like them as they are small and will never get much bigger. I actu

Happy Homemaker Monday - 1/8/24

 Hello! Welcome to my first Happy Homemaker Monday post for 2024. I am happy to join Sandra at  Diary of A Stay At Home Mom  to participate in this series. How has everyone's Monday morning been so far? Mine is slow as most Mondays, but I will be busy later. I really need to work on my direct sales business and get my inventory done for the year. Taxes will be soon and I need that information.  The Weather: The weather is predicted to be a little unsettled this week with periods of rain and snow throughout the week. Daytime highs in the 30's and 40's, which is a bit above average with lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Not too bad for this time of the year. I hate the rain as it just makes the farm a muddy, sloppy mess.  Right Now I Am: Sitting at my desk listening to the news and writing this post. My daughter just came over for coffee and to chat a bit.  Thinking and Pondering: What I will get accomplished this week and where I want to start for chores. I am t
