{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 09/13/2021 }

Good morning friends!

Welcome back to my blog and to our Monday feature "Happy Homemaker Monday".  

I hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was good but also sad.  My husband's aunt Mickey, who I asked for prayers on my last post, unfortunately passed on Friday afternoon.  We have endured so much loss lately.  It is sad, but we know that they are all in Heaven, free of disease, free of pain, and that brings us peace.  Please continue to pray for Aunt Mickey's husband, children and grandchildren as they go through this painful loss.

I hope you all have a blessed week, remember we have a blank canvas, a choice to make, so let's go into this coming week with love and understanding in our hearts.

 

 

Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::
I just had a cup of coffee, and will have toast shortly.  I am starting a bit of a diet this morning, I've been abusing junk food and soda and I can feel it.  Going back to salads, and just water and watching what I eat.   

 

Looking around the house::::
Very quiet.  It is pretty dark inside, I've noticed the days are getting shorter and the sun is taking longer to rise, sure sign that Fall is around the corner.  

 

 
On today's to do list::::
Roast 3 more pumpkins for pumpkin puree and roast the seeds.

Clean house.

Clean pool.

Make appointment to renew my military ID card.

Currently reading::::
Have started Romans in the Bible

Kicking Ass in a Corset, for a book review coming up.  

 

On the TV this week::::
Going to start watching Dexter, my daughter and sister in law and other family members keep saying it's good and I need to watch it.  I tried it before but the whole voice over drove me batty so I stopped, but I will try again before the new season starts in November.

The mornings have been blissful at 65 F, but we're still having very hot days around here.  Another week of 90s in the forecast.

Looking Around the House::::
I have a ton of laundry needing to be put away, washed it all yesterday and it just needs to be put up.  I also need to vacuum and dust, especially my overhead fans which are desperately needing it.

Praying for::::
♥♥  My sister in law, she is healed from Covid and Pneumonia, and is back to her chemotherapy appointments, she had her first this past Friday.  She is now starting the 12 week, once a week treatment. 

♥♥  Curt's aunt Mickey passed away on Friday.  Please pray for her husband, children and grandchildren.

♥♥  This morning while typing this up, I got a text message from my dad in South Africa.  He is having heart problems, and is also dealing with an Ulcer.  He might need stents put in.  Please pray for him.
