HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY & MENUS week 29 of 2023 ~ BLOG 365.198

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 know it’s HOT everywhere so I won’t complain!  All I can say is that I don’t usually mind the heat as much here because the humidity is so low, but lately our humidity has been quite high – might as well as be in the south high. This week we’ll continue with temperatures in the 90’s during the day. Our saving grace is that we’re still cooling down quite a bit at night into the 50’s so we have absolutely beautiful mornings!

Do you realize we are significantly into the second half of the year? I went to the Hallmark Ornament Premiere this past weekend to pick up a few ornaments (NOT that I needed any), but there were a couple this year that called out to me 😀 I also picked up a couple Christmas presents this past weekend.

This is a super early morning so just a couple sips of coffee for now.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING I’m all up to date with the laundry. The ironing is another story though 😀
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS Just a couple appointments this week, but no real shopping to do which is awesome because there isn’t any decent shopping here in this small town. I’m doing more and more online to be able to get everything I’m looking for.
  • PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS, PROJECTS & TRAVELS The projects lately consist of the building maintenance that we’re doing for the Eagles in preparation of hosting the South West conference at the end of September. I do need to make a couple phone calls, but have been procrastinating because of the frustration of getting through the robotic menus.
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING The menus are planned through mid August, but I’m really looking forward to planning fall recipes soon.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV
It’s summer so we’ve been trying to watch a few movies here and there and some reruns of The Big Bang Theory and Wings.

I’ve been working so much that I’ve been tired enough I haven’t been getting any reading done at night.

I finished book #6 A Vineyard Vow from the series I’ve been reading and started #7 A Vineyard Lullaby.

The Eagles Auxiliary did a breakfast yesterday morning as part of the 1st Annual BBQ Competition and Corn Hole tournament. The event was a HUGE boon to our little town and I’m sure it will be back next year and many more to come. They even auctioned off some awesome granite corn hole boards – I never knew it was such a serious sport. Here’s a couple pictures:

Oh no, sorry you are in the middle of all the heat as well. The granite cornhole set looks neat, I’ve never played it but do know it’s a big thing especially, maybe in the camping club circles (at least around here). I was intrigued by some of those ornaments but didn’t make it to the premier thing. Hope you have a wonderful week dreaming of cooler weather and all things holiday.

Despite the predictions today was absolutely beautiful except for the very late afternoon. I only bought 7 Hallmark ornaments myself this year. I didn’t need any, but there are a couple I do every year for a series. Hope your week is great too. 😀

Hello dear Tamy!
I’m so sorry the heat continues! Ugh!! My arthritis would be screaming with that kind of humidity. I hope you’re being good about taking care of yourself. You work so hard Lady – time to take a rest for YOU! I’m so glad your event was such a wonderful success though. It looked so cool! I know some folks that are huge cornhole lovers up here too. I’ve never seen a granite set, though – wowzers!! Lol
Love all of your inspirationals and the knife tips too. 😉 Yay for some Christmas dreaming!

The granite set auction for over $1000 and the proceeds from the whole event went to local kids for scholarships. 😀 We will be taking a long trip for a mini reunion in October and I’m really looking forward to that! I hope you have a GREAT week.
