WEEKEND RECAP

I don’t know about you, but I always sleep weird the first few days after a time change! I wish they’d go back to standard time and leave it alone!!! Or even Daylight Savings time, but either way, leave it alone after that!

My weekend was good!

Friday started with meeting a repairman to try and get the stove at the Eagles handled (FINALLY!) While we were there waiting for the repairman during a 4 hour window, a friend and I de-decorated Halloween in the lodge. It POURED down rain ALL day long and according to the rain gauge we got almost 2 inches that day alone!

Saturday also poured, though a little less. I worked on the sewing machine drawers a bit, but it got so cold in the garage that I came inside to watch a NASCAR race and get warm. I tried to convert a favorite recipe to a slow cooker recipe and wasn’t thrilled with it at all unfortunately.

Sunday’s weather started out gorgeous and then turned gray and cold so that was also a day spent inside. My THRIVE grocery order arrived with quite a bit of damage (the kosher dill pickles were broken along with the pickled jalapenos and a bag of flour – what a mess!) so I spent an hour on the chat line getting that handled and then went to a late breakfast with hubby that was horrible! Well, the food was good, but the service was the problem. I spent the rest of the day working on menus, doing laundry and watching football.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

The thought works for forwards AND backwards, fall or spring 😂

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

It’s official, flannels and turtlenecks are back! A little bit of rain today and then sunny and cloudy until the new storm moves in on Friday. The whole week should be in the mid 50’s for highs and high 30’s for the lows.

TO DO LIST, APPOINTMENTS & PROJECTS

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

LAUNDRY & CLEANING All caught up! YAY! GROCERIES & ERRANDS I think it’s going to be a boring week on this front as we leave Friday for the weekend and I’m not doing much before the trip. PROJECTS & TRAVELS We’re going with a friend for the weekend to a big HOLIDAY MARKET we like and are splurging on a fun Jimmy Buffet hotel. I’m looking forward to the relaxed pampering! RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING Recipes are scheduled through Thanksgiving, but I’ll start making a December menu plan next week after we get back.

FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA

I’m going to do up a separate post that is more in depth, but I have always LOVED this little church and was FINALLY able to see it from the inside when I went to their annual Christmas Bazaar last Saturday.
