For Today... May 11th, 2015
Outside my window... Oh how I long to sit out here at this time of day, when its still quiet. Its been rainy and damp for the last week; I just want to get out there and spruce up the deck and yard!
I am thinking... that I need to get up and get moving...lots of laundry to get to today (bedding and blankets always makes for a heavy day
I am thankful... for my boys. They have grown up into a couple of good looking, caring young men!
I am wearing... blue capri yoga pants and a white/gray/purple/teal zip up hoodie
I am creating... crochet: same projects; putting my craft room together
I am going... to be doing some binge watching as my oldest hooked me up with lots of movies and some TV shows yesterday!
I am reading... nothing at the moment
I am hoping... that the weather is nice this week, as we need to get the lawn mowed, its turning into a jungle out there.
I am learning... that I just don't have the knack for making homemade bread. Last weeks try was a flop again! I guess its time I invest in a bread maker. I may have to look for one at a thrift store.
In my garden... nothing going on at the moment.
In my kitchen...
Menu for the week:
Monday ~ lasagna, garlic bread and a salad
Tuesday ~ leftovers
Wednesday ~ eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast
Thursday ~ pizza
Friday ~ hamburgs and fries
Saturday ~ something on the grill, not sure what yet
A favorite quote for today...
A peek into one of my days... What my Friday's look like when I get home from the grocery store from now until Fall ~ the kitty attacks the bag that has the strawberries in it.
One of my favorite things... I love this time of year, when we have fresh fruit. I will cut up a big bowl that will last us most of the week. For dinners and lunches. It will last longer now, as its just the hubby and I at home. watermelon, cantelope, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and pineapple
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Monday ~ laundry and housework, possibly getting some highlights in my hair, painting in my craft room if my hubby gets my side units finished
Tuesday ~ painting if not done on Monday, working in my craft room
Wednesday ~ work
Thursday ~ work
Friday ~ grocery shopping, and highlights if not done on Monday, maybe girls night at my friends
Saturday ~ if weather is nice: yard work, maybe a bike ride with the hubby
Sunday ~ church, lunch, vegging with my hubby
From the board room... I love this recycled door use, from my craft board
Post Script... I have recently stumbled upon The Holderness family on youtube. Their videos are so funny!
I love the way you wrote your Daybook post! The photos are awesome. I am right after you in the list. I need to plan ahead to have more photos. It just makes things more interesting.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific, productive week full of the love of God and family!

Love your seating area on the deck, looks peaceful! That fruit looks so good - I may have to go to the store today now! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week...
Hi Jodi! Darn, sorry your bread didn't turn out! I started kneading the dough in my stand mixer with the dough hook, and it worked so much better! My wrists get too sore from kneading by hand. I love your deck, I hope you get some nice weather soon to get out there and enjoy it! Your sons are both very handsome, I hope the son that hurt his foot is feeling better. That door is amazing, really nice! I can't wait to see your craft room! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHmm, that fruit salad looks so good! Your sons are such handsome young men. I think mine and yours must be the same age. I love having grown kids!
ReplyDeleteYour sons ARE handsome young men; love the quote you shared...the fruit salad looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing on Simple Woman's Daybook!
Your daybook entry is full this week. I love that door. I need to find an old door to do that to! Your boys are very handsome. We used to have a bread machine. Richard loved making bread. And the bread made us so fat, we had to get rid of it. LOL! Have a good week
ReplyDeleteYour fruit bowl looks amazing! I love all the fresh fruit this time of the year :-)
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the bread. I tried and could never get the knack of it. We have a bread machine that I use occasionally, but it's easier just to get it at the grocery store.
Blessings,
