HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 25 of 2018

GOOD MORNING sweet ladies.  Can you believe this is the half way mark through 2018?  Where does the time go?  I hope last week and Father’s Day weekend was wonderful for you and your families.  It went by all too fast for us!

We are still on the travel this morning so I hope this posts when it should. Best laid plans and all has changed this past week many multiple times with me being sick, family plans, lack of internet connectivity… This next week will be much easier for me once we arrive at our destination.  I have to admit to not doing very well these past weeks with all the changes and illness. But, I have also really needed this week of  “down time” to veg and get well.

Be sure to link up with
Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday

and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING – It’s quite cool here, but absolutely beautiful! I’m wearing Levis and colorful blouse with my favorite sandals.  We’re going to lunch with some old friends in a bit and I’m ready to go. From there we will travel to our next destination to see hubby’s dad who will be 97 this year.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE – I had some Cheerios and green tea

CRAFTS / PROJECTS – absolutely nothing 😀

ON MY MIND / THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME HAPPY – as much as I have needed this past week to recuperate I am also anxious to get into a regular routine of the gym and pool to get my life back on track.

SIL lives on a large piece of property in the country where internet and cell signals are almost non-existent and at the end of the line so not very strong when they work. Because of this I wasn’t even aware I was having phone issues, but will go by my carrier’s office on the way out of town to get it fixed.

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA

My niece Londyn staying occupied with her grandma’s toy bag while we were at dinner.
Momma deer meandering through SIL’s driveway. SIL is surrounded by a greenbelt and often has A LOT of wildlife that she feeds. The baby deer moved out of the frame before I could grab the camera.
Beautiful Lily in SIL’s goldfish pond.
SIL is doing some bee keeping and the bees are really loving all of her fragrant flowers.
The dragon flies are VERY prolific near her ponds. They also need to be very careful as I have seen her frogs have them for a snack.
SIL has 3 different ponds on her property and they all had a lily blooming while we were visiting.

INSPIRATION

SOMETHING INTERESTING I WATCHED – nothing as we have been visiting with lots of family for different occasions.
