Happy Homemaker Monday - 07/11/2016

Good morning everyone, how was your weekend?

Mine was so good, we spent Saturday at Fort Sill, went to the lake, swam, got some sun, and also checked out 2 of the museums on base.  It was such a surreal moment standing in Geronimo's cell.

Yesterday we hung out at home, and got to watch the UEFA Euro 2016 Final in which my Portugal played against France and WON.  I actually cried my eyes out, we had been waiting for a win like this for so many many years.  I'm one happy girl :)

Anyway, that was my weekend, hope yours was equally good, but now it's time for some Happy Homemaker Monday :)




The Weather:::
Partly cloudy right now.  The temps have been in the triple digits, it's so incredibly hot.  I think it's supposed to be very windy the next 3 days, so I know I'll have to keep up on my allergy meds. 


On my reading pile:::
I'm still getting through all my review books, it makes me smile looking at my reading pile, truly it does.  I have a review coming up on the 20th for The Daredevil Snared by Stephanie Laurens.  She is one of my favorite authors and I'm enjoying this one :)


On my tv:::
Portuguese Soaps
General Hospital
The American West - We watched the first episode and really liked it, even the kids, and I think it's such a great series to teach them all about American History.


On the menu for this week:::
We will probably be away this weekend, heading up to Oklahoma City and Tulsa area to attend our little cousin's 1st birthday.  I won't have to worry about cooking Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

Monday -  Fettucine Alfredo, Homemade breadsticks
Tuesday -  Jambalaya, Salad
Wednesday - Baked Spaghetti, Foccaccia
Thursday - Jasmine Therapy and have to go check out some dryers, will grab something while out
Friday - Away
Saturday - Away


On my to do list:::
Laundry - Need to put away 2 baskets, and iron another load, put away etc.
Normal housecleaning, tidy up living rooms, vacuum, wash bed sheets etc.


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
This week I need to work on the little crochet owls for my friend.

Looking around the house:::
Very quiet, hubby has left for work and so has my brother and sister in law, it's just me and the kids and they're all still sleeping.  I think this time of the day is my favorite. 


From the camera:::
In Geronimo's cell, this is an autographed picture of him.  I am so glad I got to experience this little part of history.



On my prayer list:::
**My grandmother.  Last week she was moved to a sub-acute step down facility where she will continue to receive the care she needs.  It hurts knowing that she may never be able to return home but I know she is much better here getting the medical help she needs.  Please continue to pray for her. 


Something that inspires or brings a smile to your face:::

Congratulations on Portugal's win! I know you have been following this closely hoping for this exact outcome!

Try and stay cool in this miserable weather we are having. I keep praying for a change for the better, but it just keeps getting worse.

Sounds like a fun weekend and what a great experience in history. Have a great week.

Is there a link to a site where The American West can be watched online? Sounds good. Thank you.

Have a safe trip to Oklahoma! I'm going to have to look into the American West - is it on tv? Netflix? Sounds like something I'd like!

Congrats for your team's win. Thought of you when I heard. Saw a cute video of a little Portuguese boy giving a crying French fan a hug. Your menu is making me hungry!

Hi Sandra!

I highly recommend visiting the Great Plains Museum in Lawton. Right now, they have an awesome Lego exhibit.

I miss homemaker Mondays. I finally blogged again after a few years and thought of your blog of course. I love seeing you on FB, I am not on right now because I need to focus on studying for a big test. I drool over your crochet stuff. I am loving granny squares right now, and have learned how to join as I go.
