I can't even remember last week 😆 I know I worked (because - when am I not working). I cleaned, cooked, ran errands, and paid bills. It's ok, you can be jealous 😂 We spent a nice night at my Dad's having Chick Fil A and playing Uno. Jeff's car broke down, but he got it fixed. I was able to go for a walk one day when the sidewalks were actually clear - it was so so nice! I can't wait for spring. I usually love winter and snow - but I am missing my walks so much!
My sister and I decided that we are going to visit Emily in New Hampshire this summer! I have two co-workers who live in the area too. It should be fun!
*** The weather in my neck of the woods***
The cold of January is here! It is going to be anywhere from 0 to upper teens, and we have snow in the forecast the next five days.
*** What I am wearing ***
A burgundy sweatshirt and leggings. It's cold in the house too! My electric bill was nearly $500 last month so I'll be darned if I turn the heat up!
*** On The Reading Pile***
One chapter a day of War and Peace is going well!
*** What's on my tv ***
You already know. You Tube. I think that was it. Starting to watch a lot of gardening videos! And gardening on a budget.
***Favorite blog post/YouTube video last week***
Random, yes. But I like brooches and she had some ideas I may try!

*** No words needed (favorite photo or picture) ***
This is my yearly planner, a study I'm doing with Chrystal Evans Hurst, and journal for the study.
*** This week''s Bible Study***
This week I was in Samuel 21-23 with the addition of a couple of Psalms. Worked in the Beth Moore and Daily Grace David workbooks.
*** This week's prayer list***
Please keep the little girl from last week, Maria, in your prayers. They have another court case on the 22nd, in Pakistan, to decide if this 12 year old will be returned to her parents, or allowed to stay with this man who abducted and "married" her.
My brother-in-law to be, Marty, is home from the hospital after his double stroke. He is doing pretty well, but he has lost some vision in both of his eyes. Please pray he will regain the use of his sight!
Jeff will be driving Up North on Wednesday - about a 4-hour drive. Praying he will make it safely.
There's so much evil in the world, it's impossible to list it or even touch on it. Praying for peace, safety, and comfort for everyone in need of it.
Will be thinking of the 12 year old girls (an abomination these things happen). Hoping your bil' eyesight will get better and that Jeff gets a safe drive. I like your word of the year. Off to see the video about brooches. Have a great week
Thank you for the prayers. This has been an ongoing issue with the young girl - and I know that it probably happens all too often, but she is in my heart! I ended up buying 3 more brooches today! A cameo, a pearl one with a silver heart, and a cute little bird. Now to wear them!!
Happy new week dear Friend! I'm with you and wishing on Spring too! I love pins and brooches too and I sometimes even use them in crafts. :) I remember having to read War and Peace in school. Not sure if I'd read it for fun. Lol 😂 Holding up all of your intentions in prayer. Have a blessed and cozy week ahead. xoxo
I would have hated W&P in high school! It's a journey, for sure, but I'm enjoying it! I have used a brooch in a craft as well! Very versatile. I want to be the girl who wears dresses and skirts, uses scarves and wears brooches - instead I'm the girl in the Dolly Parton sweatshirt and yoga pants HAHAHHAHA Maybe I can be both?!
I LOVE that pink sky picture!!! And OUCH on that heating bill. My theory is that you can always put more clothes on!! I don't think I could do WAR and PEACE myself, but kudos to you!!! Have a wonderful week.
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...
I am linking up with Mailbox Monday It's Monday! What Are You Reading? The Sunday Post @ caffeinatedbookreviewer WHAT DID I READ THIS WEEK: It was a pretty slow reading week actually. I only finished two books. I made it 1/2-way through a third book, but we'll talk about that one next week. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery 4***** and Porch Lights, by Dorothea Benton Frank 4.5 ****-1/2 I was so pleasantly surprised by "Porch Lights". The characters are FABULOUS. I wanted to be just like the mom character only 5% into the book! This story is about relationships. How family is important not just in hard times, but ALL the time. The setting is stunning too. The South Carolina Lowcountry. I want a whole series of books revolving around these characters! FAVORITE QUOTE FROM A BOOK I READ: Two this week....

DeletePrayers for the many things you mentioned in this post, but especially for that precious little girl that the monster "married".
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, it's an abomination. I can't even imagine. Have a blessed week!
