{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 11/28/2022 }

 Good morning sweet friends, welcome back to my blog.

 

I am happy to report that I am about 98% back to normal.  We all are.  This flu was horrendous, my word.  We still have lingering coughs and congestion, but thankfully nothing like it was in the beginning. 

 

We had a very quiet, low key Thanksgiving.  I managed to get a Turkey in the oven, and my sister in law and niece, brought over some sides for us.  I am very thankful for my family.  So, even though it wasn't the usual big Thanksgiving we are used to having, we still managed to have a little one.  I hope you had a wonderful one with your family.

Now, let's jump right into our Happy Homemaker Monday.  I will come by and visit you all either tonight, or tomorrow morning, to give everyone a chance to post.

 

Have a wonderful, blessed week friends,

Sandra

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
It's been pretty cold, we've been waking up to icy windshields and beautiful white sparkly dewy grass.  Today however, we are hitting 70 degrees and tomorrow 75.  Go figure!!!

 

♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
The sun is shining brightly, and it's reflecting off the ice on the grass, so it looks like a blanket of diamonds laid across my yard.   

 

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
I am working on this post, while sitting in bed.  Bed is already made, but I'm sitting on top with a blanket across my legs.  Elliott and Kaia are snuggled under blankets, sleeping.  I am also waiting for the Brazil vs Switzerland game at 10am. 

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
About all I have to do today, and wanting to write it down so I don't forget. 

 

♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
I am doing well thankfully.  I still have a cough, and am a bit tired of having to blow my nose constantly.  But, I am doing well nonetheless.  You never think about your health, until you are unwell and wishing to feel good again.

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
I just had a cup of coffee, but honestly guys, I am not enjoying coffee since getting this flu.  It just doesn't taste right to me.  However, I did have a cup of coffee, and some toast.    

               

  

♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥
Not sure, might do a chicken salad or have a sub sandwich (homemade of course).      

 

 

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥
Olive Garden Five Cheese Lasagna, Salad, Garlic Knots.          

 

 

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
Grey leggings and a grey long sleeved v-neck sweater.

♥♥ On my TV this week ♥♥
We started Star Trek Picard, however, I am not enjoying it at all.  Hubby is watching it and he says it's ok, but I am not into it.  So, not sure what we will watch after this one.

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
I managed to put up my white Christmas tree.  We usually have 2 trees up, one in the dining room and then the real tree in the living room.  However, we are skipping the two trees this year, and just sticking with one.

Got my oranges dried for the garland, just need to get them threaded and up on the fireplace. 

 

  

♥♥ What I'm creating ♥♥

I haven't crocheted in a while, but I really want to make myself a new blanket.  So I've decided to pull out my yarn and start a Charlotte's Dream blanket.  I made one a few years ago, for my sister in law as a Christmas present.
