HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY & MENU PLANS week 19 of 2022

Doing Happy Homemaker Monday so extensively helps keep me on track as it summarizes the past week and lays out a fairly concise plan for this week. Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

It was cold an rainy when we left home last Thursday, beautiful when we arrived here on Friday and not bad on Saturday. It turned SUPER windy and cold yesterday and is supposed to be in the 50’s and windy until we head down to the family reunion on Wednesday where it will be glorious!

Traveling is really hard for me and I have had a couple reactions, but ALL and ALL I’m doing pretty well, but keeping it simple with so much eating out. I’m also quite concerned about staying safe and well while traveling with COVID cases on the rise again. I’m quite worried that the current surge seems to have mutated making the vaccines less efficient.

HOT water and strawberry yogurt with some FRESH cherries we picked up at a roadside stand yesterday.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING – NONE I’m on vacation 😀
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS Wednesday we will arrive in town for the family reunion and will do all our shopping for the weekend.
  • PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS & PROJECTS – NONE I’m on vacation 😀
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING – NONE I’m on vacation 😀

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV
  • whatever SIL decides 😀

I’m reading The Girl from Channel Islands by Jenny Lecoat that is inspired by true events. It’s the story of a young Jewish woman trapped on the occupied island of Jersey during World War II. I love historical novels based on WWII so have high hopes for this book.

I’ll have to do a post later with pictures from our overall trip, but for now I’m enjoying being at SIL’s house enjoying the country 😀 Here are some of her frogs, frog pond, honey bees, garden, flowers

Hello my Friend!!
Sorry so late this week. I love all the country pics. The beauty and charm of it all. I’ve often thought if I didn’t live on the bay – I’d love to live out in the country and have a hobby farm. 😉
I hate that there’s surges in covid at times yet. I wish this stupid virus would just go away!! Prayers for your health and safety always Tamy.
I love the breakdown of small goals. That’s how I keep working to lose weight – even little bits. It will continue to add up.
And I had no idea you could freeze avocado like that! How cool
Blessings on the weekend ahead. xoxo

Glad you are doing okay with the traveling. A bit jealous of the fresh cherries! I was eyeing them in the grocery store this morning but they were about $9 a pound (YIKES). How long does frozen avocado last? Hope you have a wonderful week!

They are $10 a pound here, but this was a roadside farm stand and we got 3 pounds for $20. For us, the avocado goes fast, but I’ve kept it 6-8 months successfully. I hope your week is awesome too!
