I hope you're having a wonderful holiday weekend! Here in America, we're celebrating Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day, while our neighbors to the north (Canada) celebrate Thanksgiving! There's a whole lot of celebrating going on all over the North American continent today! Plus, we have two family members and a close friend with birthdays today, so, wow!
Indian summer is upon us as warm days and cool nights have finally arrived, and I'm loving every minute of it!
Had a great day yesterday afternoon when my goddaughter and her family came to visit. We met in Joplin for lunch, then went exploring a bit before they had to head home.
Last Tuesday I finally got to meet my great-granddaughter and spend some time with her, her mom (my granddaughter), her brother (my great-grandson), and her grandma (my daughter-in-law). Both children are absolutely adorable and it was wonderful finally getting to hold the new baby (she's so tiny)! 💓
I don't think I posted about it last week, but the weekend before I went with the kids up to Blue Springs. We met up with family at Missouri Town to attend their annual fall arts, crafts, and music festival.
Afterwards, we went to Lake Jacomo and sat on the dock at Sailboat Cove for awhile, before meeting my son-in-law's parents and sister and one of my husband's cousin for supper. It was a great day!
Okay...the day is getting away from me and there is much to do. Let's take a look at the week ahead...shall we?
This week's master to-do list...
- Clean house
- Do laundry
- Celebrate family members and bff's birthdays
- Work
- Enjoy a couple of days exploring with Amanda and her family
- Finally meet my long-time, online friend, Bev, in person
This week's menu plan...
(UPDATE - This recipe is a keeper! Absolutely delicious and very much like a Tuscan or Florintine soup at a high-end restaurant. I did have to jazz it up a bit...extra basil, oregano, and black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and some chicken soup base.)
Tuesday - Grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup and apple slices
Wednesday - Turkey Italian sausage with potato, pepper, and onion
Thursday - Fish sandwich with potato wedges
Friday - Homemade pizza
Saturday - Out
Sunday - Leftovers
Well, that's all for today! Have a nice rest of your day and a great week ahead!
Until next time...
