{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 08/28/2023 }

 


 
Good morning ladies!
 
Welcome back!
 
I can't believe this is the last week of August.  I won't say I'm sad to see it go, because the heat wave we've been under has been atrocious.  I am ready for Fall and cooler temps.  
 
I want to start today, by once again sending you all a huge hug and thanking you for being here.  I miss visiting everyone, but life is busy.  
 
My stepmom has been here for a month, and she leaves on Thursday, so I'll be able to get back to a more *normal* schedule, which will include posting more often.  I want to take more pictures, welcome in the Fall season, take you along on this year's Pecan harvest, and other things as well.
 
But first, let's get through today's post and the rest of this week, shall we?
 
Have a blessed week friends. ♥♥♥

♥♥  As I look outside my window ♥♥
I used to look out my window and see a sea of green, now it's just yellow everywhere.             
 
 
♥♥  Right now I am ♥♥ 
Working on this post, and doing laundry.   
 
 
♥♥  Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 
Actually counting down the days until next weekend, and yes, I know it's only Monday morning, but I'm tired already for this week.  Anyone feel like that?   I need a break.     


♥♥ Listening to ♥♥
SIC Portuguese live tv.  

 
♥♥  How am I feeling ♥♥ 
I'm well, just tired physically, and a little mentally, but I'm ok.        
 
 
♥♥  On the breakfast plate ♥♥ 
Just coffee and toast.               
 
 
♥♥   On the lunch plate ♥♥ 
Made a Jamaican Curry for dinner last night.  There is a little leftover, but I may just have a bowl of fruit.  During the summer I always keep a big bowl with cut up fruit, in the fridge.  Everyone goes in there and has some.  I currently have watermelon, cantaloupe and grapes.       
 
 
♥♥  On the dinner plate ♥♥ 
Barbecued Ribs, Grilled Mexican Street Corn, German Potato Salad.
 
 
♥♥  What I'm wearing  ♥♥ 
White shorts with yellow and black stripes, and a black v-neck top.                  

 
♥♥  On my reading pile ♥♥ 
Nothing at the moment.
 
 
♥♥  On my TV this week  ♥♥ 
 

Gunesin Kizlarifollows the never ending drama of Güneş and her daughters they face the events of their newly transformed lives..
  

 
♥♥  On the menu  ♥♥ 

Monday - Barbecued Ribs, Grilled Mexican Street Corn, German Potato Salad
Tuesday - Out to dinner
Wednesday -  Chicken Spaghetti, Salad   
Thursday - Ravioli with meat sauce, Garlic Bread
Friday - Grocery shopping
Saturday - Frango no Churrasco (Portuguese BBQ chicken), Potato Salad
Sunday


♥♥  Looking around the house  ♥ 
The house is clean, but I need to carpet clean a spot in the living room where someone accidentally spilled a soda.                       
 
 
♥♥  To Do List ♥♥ 
Laundry
Meal plan and grocery list
 

 
♥♥  Devotional, verse, thoughts  ♥♥

I'm sorry you are still dealing with the terrible heatwave, you've definitely had a rough summer weatherwise over that way. Ours broke on Friday night though we didn't really get the rain that was promised. Praying you get some relief from all the heat and some rain very soon. Hope your week is a great one!

I love your idea of keeping a bowl of ready to eat fruit in the fridge all summer. And your menus are always so inspiring!

Hope your heat wave breaks soon. Thanks for hosting!
