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

This week is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous with sunny mid 60’s to 70’s days after today’s rain is over. But, this is the Pacific North West and that could change by tomorrow 😀

There is so much going on around here and with family, but some of it I’m still processing.

On the Eagles front I was put in charge of a committee for an auxiliary event (the Ducks against the Beavers college game aka THE CIVIL WAR and it’s taken VERY serious around here) on the day after Thanksgiving and I love my committee members and what we are planning.

BUT, yet “that” woman started yesterday in trying to micromanage it all. :SIGH: Just when you think it’s safe to be positive again… Fortunately, I have a wonderful crew and we have a fun menu planned along with games and snacks.

Hot water and peach yogurt 😀 YUMMY insert sarcasm here

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

LAUNDRY & CLEANING I have a couple loads of laundry to do, but am pretty well caught up otherwise. GROCERIES & ERRANDS Just a few groceries this week for here, but I am filling in for another woman on Tuesday at the Eagles and need to pick up some things for that meal. PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS, PROJECTS & TRAVELS I made great strides over the weekend on this category. I’m also almost caught up with my backlog of recipes that will catch me up on BLOG 365. I’ve been working on BLOGMAS 2023 and I’m also working on a new look for Happy Homemaker Monday in 2024. I’ve also been putting together a list of recipes to make for a Charcuterie Board contest on New Year’s Eve – I’ve signed up for a dessert board. RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING Menu is done through this week, but I need to start thinking about November also

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV

We’re finishing up the LARAMIE binge watching. We’ve also started season 2 of Shining Vale. I need to finish catching up on When Calls the Heart and Halloween cooking shows.

I’m finishing Heather Webber’s At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities and will be moving on to UnderTow by Jana DeLeon

Hubby and I took a play day on Saturday and did some antiquing, picked up a special order and had a yummy dinner out. One of the places we stopped at was 5th St. market and they have a really neat truck that they decorate for the seasons.

There was a fun coffee house that did this fun display for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

The sprinklers have been off for a few weeks now, but yet the mushrooms grow.
