{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 10/05/2020 }

Good morning dear friends.  How are you on this chilly Fall day?  

I must say, I am loving the cooler temperatures.  There is something about waking up to misty roads, crisp air and changing leaves on the trees.  

I hope you've had a restful weekend, mine was good but I didn't get as much rest as I was hoping for.  We had to run errands on Saturday, and then yesterday we went over to my brother's house because my husband needed us all to get together, to record a bible study group for his degree.  It was quite interesting and made us all think about our lives, the kind of people we are and if we are being righteous people, as well as what we need to change within ourselves.  

Anyway, this is going up a little later than usual, I've had a bit of a crazy morning, been rushing around and am now finally sitting down to type up the post.  

Thank you all for joining in each week, I truly do appreciate it.  

Have a blessed week.

♥♥From the camera♥♥
I love my candles but with a kitten in the house now, I'm having to be extremely careful of when I light them.  

Would love any tips on dealing with cats and candles, plants etc. 

♥♥Looking around the house♥♥
I am currently sitting on my bed (of course), working on this post.  I have my bedroom windows open and the fresh crisp air is coming in.  Feels so good.

Curt had to pop into work, so he took Jasmine to her workplace first so that I didn't have to go out.  I love my husband.  

Nick is still asleep, I mean, he is 17 after all and that seems to be what they all do at this age. 

 
♥♥New recipe I tried last week, or one that we really enjoyed♥♥
Made a slow cooked spaghetti casserole on Saturday.  It was so good, and nothing really special about it.  I basically browned my ground beef, added in the jar of spaghetti sauce, then added half the meat mixture to the bottom of the slow cooker.  Topped it with a box of spaghetti noodles that I broke into thirds, then topped with the remaining meat mixture.  Added in a cup of water, and finished it off with 2 cups of cheese.  I cooked it on HIGH for 2 hours, and it was really yummy.


♥♥To relax this week, I will♥♥
Read more and I really want to get some crochet in as well. 

 

♥♥On my prayer list♥♥  

My nephew Colby, he had surgery on his leg last week and is now going through the long process of healing.  For an 18 year old who is used to going to school and out with his friends, it is very difficult to find himself stuck in the house, without being able to do anything. 

We are all going through the grieving process, but I do worry about my husband.  He is not talking about it, not thinking about it and doing his best to just ignore the fact that his mom just passed.  He told me he is not ready to face it yet.  I'm surrounding him in prayer and just supporting him however he needs. 

President Trump as he battles Covid, and every one else not just in this country, but all over the world who are currently fighting this virus.
