GOOD MORNING My head and heart just hurt from EVERYTHING so far in 2020 so let me just say
and get on with having a better week full of positivity, hope and amazing calmness!
Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up
with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING We had another cold and stormy weekend (yesterday hardly reached 50°), but it is supposed to get back to “normal” this week with day time highs mostly in the 70’s and night time lows in the 50’s.
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE Hot water and banana

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV We reactivated HULU so we could watch Homeland with Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin with my SIL. She’s just started season 8 and we’re binge watching to catch up, but just started season 4. Also saw a “new to us” movie that was really interesting, but 10 years old called THE WAY BACK with Ed Harris and Colin Farrell. We’ve also been watching Svengoolie on Saturday nights (our normal SYFY night) and saw Bride of Frankenstein (1935) with Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester.
I’M READING 2 books right now and can’t seem to put either down. I love both authors and their story telling abilities to weave history into current day life. The first is Gill Paul’s Lost Daughter and the 2nd is Lisa Wingate’s The Book of Lost Friends.
FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA This guy on the back fence this past week just seemed fitting to me for ALL that I’m searching for 😀

Would love a sink like the one in your picture! I’m hoping the 2nd half of the year is better too. Hope you have a great week
Just added The Book of Lost Friends to my good reads “want to read” list. Glad you mentioned it. Yes, let’s pray the second half of this year is full of great blessings. Hope you have a happy and peaceful week!
