Welcome to this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.  I am linking up with  Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.    The weather::: Well, we had some snow and some cold weather, but Michigan isn't one to follow the rules.  We'll be up to 52 this week, so we will most likely have an ugly green and brown Christmas.  On my reading pile:::  I just finished "Comfort and Joy" by Kristin Hannah.   This is my 3rd book by her this year.  It was a nice romance with just enough Christmas magic.  Right now I am reading "Find Me Unafraid" by Kennedy Odede.     I have wanted to read this book about the Kiberian Slum in Ghana for a long time now, but it was never on sale.  It finally went down a few dollars and I bought it.  I am also reading "The Christmas Bargain" by Shanna Hatfield.   I love this author.  Her mail-order bride books and old West stories are so good.  Her characters are amazi...

Welcome to this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.  I am linking up with  Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.    Jennah's testing and EGD were all inconclusive.  There is no visible cause of all of her stomach issues.  The surgeon says that it is possible that it is all due to her anxiety issues.  Emily also has stomach problems from anxiety; however, hers are more of a stomach ache, where Jennah's is pain with radiation, vomiting, nausea, etc.  It's frustrating.  ANYWAY - during anesthesia for the EGD, they found that her tonsils are huge!  They are touching :/  So now we are trying to find an ENT to see if they need to come out, which I'm guessing is going to be a yes since she has begun to snore loudly.   The weather:::   We're still a mix of raining/stormy days and gorgeous 80-degree late spring days.  Today is the former.  I'm hoping for some loud thunder and bright lightening!  On my reading pile::: I f...

Sandra at Diary of a SAHM shared her list a few days  ago and encouraged her readers to join in.  Here is my *very hopeful* reading list for this summer!  I will also pop a few quick summer reads in there as well.   Back in January, I signed up to do the Modern Mrs. Darcy reading challenge.  I am really lagging behind and plan to get a lot of reading done this summer! I'm really looking forward to reading "Threads of Suspicion" by Dee Henderson.  This is an ARC from Bethany Publishers.  I absolutely LOVED the first in this series and I am so happy to have received this book! Evie and her new partner, David Marshal, are assigned to a pair of unrelated cases in suburban Chicago, and while both involve persons now missing for several years, the cases couldn't be more different. While Evie opens old wounds in a close-knit neighborhood to find a missing college student, David searches for a private investigator working for a high-power...

Welcome to this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.  I am linking up with  Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.    The weather::: Plenty of rainy days with a pristine, sunshiney day here and there.  On my reading pile::: Still reading Gone with the Wind.  It will be a few more weeks since I only read a little bit every day.  Finished " Two Days Gone " by Randall Silvis.  I took a temporary diversion from "Firefly Lane" because I got caught up in this murder mystery.  It happens!  lol It's different from what I normally read, but it was fast-paced, exciting, and I didn't figure it out until close to the end. 4/5 I also received an ARC copy from Bethany Books of " The Chapel Car Bride " by Judith Miller, which I will be starting this week.   Movies or Shows I watched this weekend::: Started a new binge-watch, "Heartland". Watched the Casey Anthony Documentary.  Both sad and infuriating.  I remember my mom watching th...
