Good morning sweet friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with plenty of rest and lots of fun. The weather has been absolutely beautiful here and we’ve been out enjoying it.

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

The “Strawberry” Moon this past weekend was absolutely beautiful! The weather has been just about PERFECT around here with high 70’s and a cool breeze. I’m actually wearing short sleeves and flip flops.

Hubby and I were going to be working on isolating the sprinkler issues this morning, but it looks like stove shopping will be taking a precedence and he’ll be on his own with the sprinklers.

Hot water and a black cherry yogurt.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

LAUNDRY & CLEANING Laundry is up to date and other than a few odd things all is in place. GROCERIES & ERRANDS I have an appointment in town tomorrow so will be making a more detailed list this afternoon for groceries. Once again there have been many things we can’t get here so I’m on the search for a few specific ingredients. PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS, PROJECTS & TRAVELS I have a bunch of paper sorting to do and am still trying hard to get some contracts in place with non-responsive people for next year’s family reunion and am hoping to get that finished and out of my hair! RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING Need to do a bit of a re-work on the menu to accommodate the lack of an oven, but in good shape otherwise.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV

NETFLIX We watched DEVOTION about Jesse Brown the pilot and it was a GREAT movie. TUBI Hubby found an old British “comedy” called Doc Martin and we’re in season 3. AMAZON PRIME We finished the Marvelous Mrs, Maisel CABLE NASCAR and cooking shows

We had a first of hopefully many charcuterie board contests at the Eagles yesterday. We had 16 entrees full of wonderful talent and tasty foods. It was a GREAT success. The boards were made by local high school students and were a HUGE hit. My girlfriend Diana won 1st place and I placed 2nd. We were both stunned and thrilled 😀
