Happy Homemaker Monday

You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE 

       I had such a great vacation & a very busy week back! My sister went Up North with me, and we had an amazing time hiking in several different locations. We spent time with Jeff's family, and his mother got to meet Sarah.

 Last week was crazy coming back. We had a gas leak and had the gas company out twice plus a repairman to fix some pipes and both landlords. I was back to work, so I was trying to concentrate with all that going on! It wasn't easy 😂

My hernia is doing better (meaning it isn't sticking out too much, lol) and we hope to keep surgery at bay until 2026. I wouldn't mind continued prayer in this area! 

OH! And I bought a car! It's not brand new but it's 'newish' - and #1 It's the only car I've ever purchased on my own that wasn't a junker and #2 it is the most money I've ever spent at one time 😜 I should hopefully be able to share some pictures next week!

    Hello dear Friend! So happy to hear (& see from your gorgeous pics) that your vacation time was wonderful! And congrats on the car -that's awesome! Sorry about the pipes though. It's always something isn't it? I need to get back to prepping meals for the week better. So smart to save time and hassle. Blessings on a great week ahead. xo

  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE                           Hello, sweet friends. I'm going to ask for prayer right up front! I have a doctor's appointment and an ultrasound to find out what a bulge in my abdomen is. I'm leaning towards ventral hernia - but there is always the possibility of something worse. I would really appreciate knowing that I'm being lifted up to the LORD.              *** The weather in my neck of the woods***   Cooler weather! What a blessing Monday  -  Sunny and 79 😍  Tuesday  - Rain, 76 Wednesday  - Partly cloudy, 78 Thursday  - Mostly sunny, 80 Friday  - Sunny and 83 Saturday  - Partly sunny, 82 Sunday  - Cloudy, 76     *** Things that make me happy *** Journaling, art journaling, planning, prayer journaling - all the journaling   *** Book I'm reading ***    I'm curren...

I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday On My Breakfast Plate: It was actually a bowl of chicken noodle soup!  The weather in my neck of the woods .....  Today is in the mid 50s - tomorrow the mid 80s!  I am hopeful there will be some sunshine so I can enjoy my new bench on my balcony and get some Vitamin D. Right now I am.... THE COVID CHRONICLES Right now I am recovering from COVID-19.  Back on Easter Sunday my girls and I went to my dad's to cook dinner.  Once we were already there, my dad mentioned he wasn't feeling quite right.  Soon after he and my sister found out they were positive.  A couple of days after that my daughters both tested positive.  Then me.  Then my other sister.   Dad was hospitalized for a few days at the beginning.  His oxygen dipped down into the 80s.  I am so thankful to God that he was released shortly after.  NO pneumonia!  No blood clo...

This is my first time participating in Saturday 9, hosted by Samantha @ Samantha Saturday 9  Saturday 9: What Hurts the Most  1)  Any aches and pains to report?   Achy all over - but I'll take it over other pain!  2) What's the last thing you misplaced? Did you find it? A receipt my mom needs to return something she received for Mother's Day.  Have not found it yet!  3) Lead singer Gary LeVox sings that he's not afraid to cry. When is the last time you shed a tear? Earlier this week when I found out that an  acquaintance  of mine had passed of cancer.  It was very unexpected and she was just a wonderful woman!  4) Tell us about something you thought you wanted, but later weren't sure? Seat covers for my car - I've wanted them for the past couple of months, but once I put them on, I hated them and took them right off!  5) What else is Ohio known for? Losing to the Michigan Wolverines?  :)  6) ...
