HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY with MENU PLANS week 16 of 2023 ~ BLOG 365.107

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

We had a few days of decent spring like weather Friday and Saturday, but now there is another cold front moving through with lower temperatures (highs in the 40’s and lows still in the 30’s) and rain. At least there is no snow in the forecast 🙂 Looks like by late next weekend we might have some good weather moving back in.

We are heading into the 16th week of 2023. Do you realize that means we’re almost one-third through this “new” year already? I feel like I should have gotten more done by now.

I’m trying to pack accordingly to get through hubby’s next surgery Thursday and staying out of town while doing it.

Hot water and yogurt – so boring…

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING I have some bedding and towels to wash, but am pretty caught up otherwise.
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS Did the groceries last Saturday and only have a pedicure before we leave on Wednesday for hubby’s surgery. I also have the Eagles shopping to do just before we leave Wednesday.
  • PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS, PROJECTS & TRAVELS Oh so many. I am getting so frustrated with NOT getting call backs on important things like roof leaks.
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I’m working on a menu plan using my friend Diana’s mom’s and grandma’s recipes. Unfortunately, the very first one I tried wasn’t all that great, but I won’t judge them all by that one recipe. I have the menu planned through when we leave in May for hubby’s family reunion. After that I’m hoping to come back to warmer weather and be able to do a refresh with salads and such.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV
  • NETFLIX We’ve been watching THE NIGHT AGENT season 1 and really enjoyed it. Next we’re going to try THE RECRUIT. And then RABBIT HOLE with Keifer Sutherland.
  • AMAZON PRIME The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel began last weekend and we are anxious to watch.
  • CABLE Most shows are in hiatus, but I still have some DVR to catch up on and NASCAR races.

I literally just finished Sunrise Cove Inn by Katie Winters and am about to start Cauldron’s Call by Kirsten Proby.

Where there’s a will there’s a way… but in the grass where it will get mowed down? 🙁
Goose nest in the pond behind the house… it’s almost time.
Feed the peacocks all the stale cereals and crackers last Saturday.

I love peacocks and that is one stunning peacock. Wow!

I’m praying for your hubby’s surgery, I’m assuming is today, since it’s Thursday and I’m late (as always) in coming by and visiting. Hope it all goes well.

I agree with you on the recipes, sometimes there’s a bad one, but often it turns out the others are pretty good. Can’t wait to hear more about them.

Hope you’re having a blessed week.

Skip’s surgery went well. I LOVE this peacock farm – such a peaceful place to go for a picnic (when weather permits) and always fun to feed these beautiful birds.

Hello my Lovely!
It’s so nice to be back. Sending prayers for your hubby’s surgery and that all goes well. I agree on how frustrating it can be when you wait for a service to call you back. I feel sorry that many can still be short staffed – but it’s still frustrating.
I love your inspirationals as always! 😉
I hope you have a very blessed week ahead. xoxo

Good to know! We enjoyed NIGHT AGENT and really appreciated that it “concluded” for the season instead of cliff hanging into season 2. Even though season 2 is supposedly guaranteed, you never really know when it will surface 😀 We will be going to hubby’s family reunion in May so as long as the weather is good by the time we get back, I’m good!

We just finished watching both The Night Agent and The Recruit. Personally, I thought The Recruit was just a little better than The Night Agent although I enjoyed both. Seems like suddenly there are a lot of decent tv choices now that I’m ready to be outside. Hope your weather improves and that you have a wonderful week!
