{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 08/26/2019 }

Good morning everyone, hope you've had a blessed weekend.

I'm sorry this post is going up a little later than usual, but I've just been busy with bills and schooling and am only now getting a chance to come an get this up for you all.

Let's get right on with it.

Oh before I get going, I want to once again ask you NOT to leave links down below that are not relating to our Happy Homemaker Monday.  I have been having to remove links every week, to other blog posts that are not part of our Monday feature.  Please be respectful of my request, it is a pain to have to go in every Monday and manually delete these links.   Thanks :) 

The weather:::
The temperatures have slightly dropped, thankfully.  We have had rain two days last week, it wasn't for long, maybe 20 minutes each time, but it definitely helped with the crazy heat we've been having.

This week, the temperatures are dropping again and we seem to be getting a few more rainy days.  Looking forward to that.  

Monday - Sunny, 105
Tuesday - Scattered Thunderstorms, 81
Wednesday - AM Thunderstorms, 86
Thursday - Partly cloudy, 95
Friday - Partly cloudy, 93

Is there anything better than rain?

Thinking about:::
