Happy Homemaker Monday - Asking for Prayer

Image
  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...

The Monday Book Report, Edition #3

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....
