HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 13 of 2021

Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up
with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

I hope you are all having a great month and starting to see signs of spring wherever you are.  Winter is hanging on here and I’m not trusting that spring is here yet. I’m headed out early so will get this posted quickly.

Off and on rain this week with highs in the low 50’s and low’s in the high 30’s. I have on some comfy levis and a favorite soft and comfy hoodie.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING A couple loads of laundry and some vacuuming to do.

Hello Dear Gal
So sorry the sale of the in-laws place is being a frustration. Hope it gets worked out soon! Well the lock in time seems to pay off in lots of good tv you’re watching. Lol I’ve always been intrigued by Mexican dominos. Have to check that out some time. Love your inspiration as always. Blessings!

QuiltLady

Oh my, you and the kiddos would have a great time playing the Mexican dominoes. It is so much fun and even more so the more people you have. 😀

Jodi

Dominoes!! I haven’t played this in forever! I may have to challenge my mom in law to a game the next time we have a family get together! Have a great week!

Jean

Hope you see some signs of spring soon. It’s here and coming your way, I promise! Had to look up sunchokes. Not sure I’ve ever seen those around these parts. Hope you have a wonderful week!

QuiltLady

I have hope 😀 I know spring will arrive! I first had sunchokes when we were in Texas – interesting little things and tasty too, kind of a cross between a potato and an artichoke without the thistle. 😀

Martha

Sorry you aren’t seeing signs of spring yet and I’m really sorry you had no idea I had been reading and liking every single recipe posts all these months. The “like” button is up at the top left below the “share this” buttons. I’ll be sure not to use it anymore! Have a great day and a great week. 🙂

QuiltLady

I knew you were reading and commenting 😀 but not “liking”, it’s so funny how different formats show up on different browsers. I see all the share and tweet buttons, but no actual like or dislike buttons – weird. Have a GREAT week with what is undoubtedly PERFECT weather for you this time of year.
