Good morning sweet friends, welcome back to my blog.
Have a wonderful, blessed week friends, 
♥♥ 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.
♥♥ Listening to ♥♥
♥♥ 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.
♥♥ 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.
♥♥ On the menu ♥♥
♥♥ 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.
♥♥ To Do List ♥♥
- Happy Homemaker Monday post
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.

♥♥ 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.
♥♥ Devotional, Bible Verse ♥♥

So very happy to hear you are all feeling better! Stay well and don't relapse by trying to do too much too fast! Your devotional really spoke to me this morning - it is soooooooo true! Have fun with the garland - your oranges look wonderful. Have a wonderful and healthy week my friend. HUGS :D
I so love to come and visit you here, Dear Sandra, after my 'forced' Summer break. Your corner of the world is always far welcoming, be blessed!

P.S. The blanket you've just started crocheting is simply wonderful :)
Glad to hear you are starting to feel better. Love those blankets. I started one for our living room repair/remodel.
YaY!!!!! I was so happy to hear you are almost all better. That made me smile. It sounded like you you pulled off Thanksgiving, what a blessing you are to your family. Your menu looks divine, we love Olive Garden recipes. Your new blanket is going to be beautiful and your devotional rang true in my heart, Thank you :)

Glad to know you are almost back to normal. The Charlotte blanket looks good. Enjoy your week
I'm so happy you're feeling better dear Friend. Both of my kiddos were sick over some of the Thanksgiving break - so it was quieter around here too. I swear - bugs are everywhere! Every time I see your projects I want to learn to crochet. ;) Have a blessed and healthy week ahead! xo
I did oranges this year for the first time. I love them.. I Put mine on the tree!
So glad you are feeling better. I would love to know the Youtube channel you are listening to!
Glad you are feeling better! Your dried orange slices always look so pretty. I can just imagine how wonderful they must smell as well. Hope you have a happy and healthy week ahead!
The Charlotte's Dream Blanket is so pretty!!! Beautiful. Sickness is the pits. May you continue to improve and get better. God bless, d
I sure hate y’all have been sick. The flu is going around so bad here, too. Glad you seem to be feeling a little better. Your blanket is starting out so beautiful!
