HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 28 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 that you all had a safe and wonderful holiday weekend full of fun and relaxation too. Our was a quiet weekend since I was down and out Friday night and Saturday so we took it easy yesterday. With living in the country and the high risk of fires we tends to stick really close on the 4th just in case of firework mishaps.

We’re in a traditional summer pattern now which seems wonderful after last week’s excessive heat from the heat dome. We’ve also been having very pleasant ocean breezes almost daily that make things really, really nice.

I had a bad week and a pretty bad reaction Friday night and Saturday so am really watching what I eat A LOT! Breakfast is hot water and baby food puree.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING I’ll be doing some laundry today.
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS I have an appointment in town on Tuesday so will be doing my errands that day also.
  • PAPERWORK & PHONE CALLS Still trying to get through last week’s pile
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I did get the next couple weeks of menus and grocery lists done over the weekend.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV

I’m in the middle of A Fire Sparkling by Julianne MacLean

A Fire Sparkling by [Julianne MacLean]

 

This guy won the patriotism award at our favorite tavern yesterday.

Since we back up to a country highway with tons of brush, hubby was ready for the potential of fireworks mishaps yesterday.

I still have touch ups to do, but I’m pretty happy with this week’s painting 😀 And it was appropriate for the holiday.

I’m trying some new recipes this week from some of my current favorite chefs 😀

Looks like you are having some HOT weather just like we are here in Detroit! 90s a lot of the past week. That pasta salad looks really yummy! I need to do more cold pasta salads in the summer. How are you liking the book “A Fire Sparkling”? I’ve heard good things!

I LOVED the book. Just when you think you have an idea of figuring out she subtly works in a plot twist! Hope you’re having a GREAT week and that it is cooling down a bit, 90’s are too warm for your area 😀

Hi Lovie!
I hope you’re feeling better! I love your USA painting and patriotic guy. LOL That gave me a giggle. But your painting is lovely! ♥️
I wondered if that Liam Neeson show on netflix was good. And I want to catch tomorrow war too. Love Chris Pratt.
You’d be so proud of me as I always roll my lemons before juicing. Lol Love your inspirations
Blessed week to you

So sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well. Hope you are feeling better very soon. Ha, I’m the person on the left in your cartoon though I prefer to be that person when I can be at the swimming pool, not necessarily out doing yardwork. Your painting came out great! And wow, a tip about the lemons I actually knew already. Better write that down, that’s rare for me to know the tips. LOL! Hope you have a great week!

QuiltLady

It’s funny how there really is no in between on that cartoon. I bet you know a lot more tips, but they are just second nature so you do them out of habit 🙂 I hoe you have a GREAT week too.

Martha

I’m sorry to hear you had a bad reaction! I hope you are feeling better now. I am the melting person in the cartoon lol. Have a great week. 🙂

QuiltLady

LOL I’m the melting person too! 😀 Then again I don’t live in Florida! Hope the storm is not threatening too bad for you.
