Greetings, Dear Readers! And HAPPY MONDAY! 💗
I trust that you and yours had a lovely week and weekend. Ours was good here and extremely blessed!
Tuesday was spent cooking, baking, and preparing for library programs on Wednesday. I also got together with my BFFF on Tuesday afternoon to celebrate her birthday.
I worked Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
Wednesday evening we attended a wedding vow renewal ceremony and Saturday evening we met our children and grands at the corn maze for an evening of fun and fellowship as a family. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time! 🌽
On Thursday I took grandson, T.J. out to lunch and ice cream for his birthday. While there we visited Miners Memorial Park in Pittsburg, Kansas. Being as my grandfather and father-in-law were both coal miners I found it very interesting and quite sobering.
Okay...so...enough about last week! Let's get started on this week, shall we?
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! 💗
On the breakfast plate...
On the menu this week...
- Monday - HHM post, weekly home blessing,laundry, plan the week ahead, bake bread, take car to the auto mechanic for its annual check-up; pack up summer clothes and exchange for winter
... Just trying to keep up with the temperature afghan. Ran out of gold thread and had to order more. Am waiting for it to arrive so I can continue.
Until Next Time...
P.S. - Congratulations to Kristina of Pioneer Woman At Heart for winning the Homemaker's Friend 2020 Daily Planner giveaway! Kristina, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine! Blessings, Sweet Lady! 💗

Right now I am...
... finishing up breakfast and enjoying a cup of hot tea while I work on this post.
On the breakfast plate...
... fat-free turkey slices, Laughing Cow cheese wedge, and egg on toast with a cup of Pumpkin Spice tea.
The weather...
... Yesterday was gorgeous...75 degrees and sunny. Then, a cold front pushed through last night and we had severe storms and was under a tornado watch until 5:00 this morning. At present it is 49 degrees and sunny and the week ahead doesn't look bad at all.

Yield: 1 dozen.

Those spider web pretzel treats are too fun! I also love the temperature afghan. I think a friend made one a couple years ago - so cool how each one is so different :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becki! The spider web pretzels ARE fun! Fun to make and fun for the children to eat...as long as they don't eat the plastic spider! :O LOL! Yes, I have a friend and a daughter that are both making one and, you're right, so different! Have a blessed week ahead! :)
DeleteRebecca, I can't wait to get my planner. I am a hot mess today, and my computer area has sticky notes all over the place. Ha ha! We didn't do the maze at our pumpkin farm trip, but did the hayride, and the grandkids played in a sandbox filled with corn, and climbed straw bales etc. Your menu sounds fabulous too. Have a fantastic week. Oh, I love those spider treats! So adorable.
ReplyDeleteI mailed it out on Thursday, so it should be arriving anytime. I did send it media mail though so it might take an extra day or two. In addition to the corn maze, we did the hayride, too, and the little ones enjoyed the corn crib and hay maze. I love fall so much! Have a great week ahead, Kristina, and enjoy the planner! <3
DeleteSpider Web Pretzel Treats - they look fabulous. The corn maze with the kids must have been quite fun. Seems like you all had a wonderful time. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteWe did, Lucy! It was a lot of fun! You have a great week, too! :)
DeleteLove the pretty mums!! Love your afghan!! I am still loving doing this! Can't wait to do another one for next year. I will be planning on doing a daily one. I have colors picked out, I think. Love all your pics! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of doing another one, too, Jodi, but, if I do, I think this time I'm going to make it all shades of one color. Have a great week and blessings, my friend! :)
DeleteThose spiderweb treats look so fun! Might have to make some for my big kids on Halloween. Looks like you had a great time at the corn maze. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteHow fun you did a corn maze! We haven't done one of those in forever. And that muffin recipe sounds amazing - I'm going to adopt that one. 😋 The spider web pretzels are adorable! May need to copy them sometime too. Lol
Your afghan is turning out so pretty. I hope you have a wonderfully blessed rest of your week. 💜
I enjoy reading your blog. I have been blogging at Wordpress for years until now they want me to upgrade and buy a package because they say I have used all my free media storage. Well, I'm in the process of transferring everything over to blogger. If you'd like, you can check it out.

I have been following your blog for a while now.
I am sooooo late this week. Please forgive my tardiness. I LOVE those spider pretzels and pumpkin muffin pictures and your temperature afghan is looking GREAT. I hope you had a GREAT week. See you again tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThose spider treats are so neat! I truly enjoyed your blog today and I am not sure if I have ever been here or not, but I will certainly be back again. Have a blessed week.
