{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 10/09/2023 }

 

Good morning everyone.It is a cool Fall morning, here in Texas. 

 

The windows and doors are open, letting in fresh air, it feels so good to have lower temperatures, and to be able to feel the cool air in the early morning. 

 

Before we get started, I just want to send out prayers to Israel. Over the weekend, we have seen horrible footage and heard devastating news. My heart has been so heavy not only for the innocent lives lost in Israel but also the innocent lives that will be impacted in Palestine too. 

 

War is never a good thing, it is horrifying and even though we know that casualties are expected, it still hurts our souls.  

 

I hope you all have a peaceful and restful week. Remember how blessed we are to live in this wonderful country.

The sun is out. I love seeing it's rays shining through the tree branches. Honestly, to me, the most beautiful light of the day is early morning.

As this time of the year comes around, I start shifting into holiday mode, so my mind goes into high gear with lists, gifts, menus, baking and so on.
