{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 05/16/2022 }

Good morning my sweet friends.  Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend.

 

Mine was good, albeit a bit busy yesterday, but we are thanking God for many blessings last week, namely the sale of my mother in law's house.  Finally, after almost a year of trying to finalize things, we were able to close.  Can't tell you how thankful and happy we are for that.  

 

I am now free of that stress, so able to actually start focusing more on my house, my homemaking and blogging.  I haven't even been on Instagram much either, just haven't had the time or focus for any of it.

 

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful blessed week.  Let's see what is happening in our Homemaker Mondays.

♥♥  As I look outside my window ♥♥

It is an absolutely gorgeous day.  There is not a cloud in the sky, the sky is a deep blue, and as a backdrop against the green of the trees, it surely looks like a painting.  

From my window, I can see the fields behind the property.  I love having this view.

♥♥  Right now I am ♥♥

I am typing up this post, while listening to the trial on the TV.  I am also waiting to hear from the bank as to the house sale, so that we can go ahead and make some payments that need to be made. 

♥♥  Thinking and pondering ♥♥

About the goodness of God.  How faithful and good He is, all the time.  On this house sale.  Curt and I just need it over and done with, so we can get out from this financial strain we've been under the past 2 years. 

 

 

♥♥  How am I feeling ♥♥

A little tired, I was out of the door yesterday at 7am, and didn't sit down for the rest of the day, until 6pm. But happy and blessed, nonetheless. 

♥♥  On the breakfast plate ♥♥

I had some coffee and a cheese and ham sandwich.

♥♥  Looking around the house  ♥♥

It's quiet, all that we can hear are the birds outside in the yard.  The furry babies are sleeping.  I need to fold some laundry and put it away, and give the living room couches a tidy up, just fix the pillows etc. 

♥♥  To Do List ♥♥

-  Water the veggie garden

-  Pay bills

- Prepare wire transfers

- Take meat out for dinner

 

♥♥  From the camera  ♥♥

Last week I made a Zucchini Pizza Casserole.  The base is shredded zucchini, and oh my goodness, it was absolutely delicious.

 

I really need to get these recipes up on the food blog, just haven't had time. 

 

♥♥  Devotional  ♥♥

We are guilty.  The cross purchased our forgiveness.  We are unable.  The Spirit gives us power.  We are foolish.  God's Word provides wisdom.
