Greetings, Dear Ladies! Happy Monday! 💗
I trust that you and yours had a nice weekend where you're at. We had a lovely one here!
My friend, Dorothy, came up for the weekend and we've had a ball visiting and catching up. We only get to see each other once a year or so...or at least we try to anyway. 😊
A couple of the children and their families joined us yesterday afternoon and a good time was had by all. Dorothy got to catch up with a couple of the children that she hadn't seen in a few years and met two of our grandchildren and a daughter-in-law that she hadn't met before, which was nice.
In fact, Dorothy is still here and it's our last morning together, so I'm going to keep this post brief. I hope you don't mind.
Please join me as I link up with Sandra of Diary of a Stay At Home Mom and all the other lovely ladies that gather there on this week's Happy Homemaker Monday? 💗
Right now I am...
... enjoying a cup of tea and working on this post while I wait for Dorothy to get up and around. After the children and their families left last night, John did his own thing while Dorothy and I hung out, visited, and watched a movie. We ended up not getting to bed until the wee hours of the morning this morning. 😴
On the breakfast plate...
... Not sure yet. We'll either make something here or we'll run up town to Mary's. I'll leave that up to Dorothy. 😊
... After a week of temps in the upper 90's with heat indexes in the triple digits we are finally enjoying a bit of a cool down. It rained overnight and we were under flash-flood warnings. Right now it's 72 degrees and cloudy. The ten-day forecast doesn't look bad at all! 🌞
I finished Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder but, am still reading Interpreting Our Heritage by Freeman Tilden. I have added On The Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder and The 'I Can Do This' Diet by Dr. Don Colbert.
... having some down time in the middle of the week before going back to work on Thursday.
... Mom's Night Out with Dorothy. It's one of my favorite movies and she had never seen it before.
From the camera...
Scripture passage...
I thought this verse was appropriate considering this week's library program, but don't think for one second that I believe any one of you HHM ladies here is 'sluggard' because I don't! In fact...far from it! 🐜
Until Next Time...

| We made 'giant ant eyes' at this week's library program Ants on Parade. Isn't this the most adorable colony of ants that you've ever seen??? |

Okay those are by far the cutest ants ever.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when you can catch up with good friends. I haven't seen my close friend in quite some time, life has just been crazy busy for us both. I'm glad you got some quality time with her!
I hope the flooding isn't too bad. We got some rain this morning too and it's supposed to cool down some this week. Yay!
Yes, it is, Felicia! I pray that you and your friend can make time soon to get together and get caught up. Nawww...I don't think the flash-flooding was too bad this time. Hope your week is going well. Blessings! <3
