I am linking up with Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Head on over to find some other great bloggers.
For Today... August 27th, 2018
The weather...Its 69° with a high of 89° - its going to be a rainy/stormy day
As I look outside my window...its still dark out, its going to be a stormy, sticky day.
On the breakfast plate. . .I went to McDonald's...I have been craving a bacon egg and cheese mcgriddle
On my bedside table... my alarm clock, Kindle, iPad and a journal
On my reading pile... The Road Home, by Beverly Lewis ~ its been a long, long time since I have read any of her books. I have just started it, but am liking it so far.
Movies or Shows I watched this weekend... with it being our staycation this past week....we did a lot of movie watching. Life of the Party - loved this one, The Post, Unthinkable, Body of Lies - - I started a new series of The Innocents on Netflix
On my TV... Big Brother and Fear the Walking Dead
On the menu for this week... Menu for the week:

In the craft basket...I picked back up a cross stitch project and am anxious to finish it, so I can get started on the next one.
Happening this week:

Tuesday ~ work

Thursday ~ craft day, lots of Fall projects I want to get started on
Friday ~ groceries and errands
Saturday ~ not sure yet
Sunday ~ church
Looking around the house... I have some cleaning to do...I think this is the first time in a long time that I actually did nothing while on a staycation. In the past I would still be in clean mode, but not this time...while we didn't do much over the week and stuck close to home....I enjoyed my time off...but now back to reality and get things back in order
From the camera... no pics for this week
What I'm wearing today... a purple tank top and shorts
One of my simple pleasures... sitting on the deck, in the early morning and just thinking
A favorite Bible verse, devotion or quote for today...
In closing...Thank you for stopping by. I hope your week ahead is filled with lots of blessings!
It is definitely sticky in the Detroit area today, but no rain until Wednesday I think. I haven't read Beverly Lewis in a few years, but I have always enjoyed her books!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,
Sherry

I really loved your cross stitch! Its beautiful! I have never read Beverly Lewis but my husband and I watched the Shunning for the first time the other day and I wondered if I would like them? What is your favorite book by her, and what would you recommend to a beginner?
ReplyDeleteYour cross stitch is going to be so pretty - reminds me of my grandma. I haven't read any Beverly Lewis in a long time either, but always enjoyed her books. I LOVE your inspiration! Have a GREAT week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cross-stitch project, Jodi! Very nice! Never thought of setting aside a craft day! Will have to remember that in future. What a blessing that would be! Thanks for always being an inspiration! Have a blessed and beautiful week ahead! <3
