Happy Homemaker Monday

 


Happy Monday sunshine to you blogland Besties!

How was your weekend? 

It was such a fun one here and felt like it flew by...but I think the time change "springing forward" always helps with that feeling too. Lol 

We got asked to go to a local division 1 college hockey game by our friends the C's. Mr. C is in banking and gets box suite tickets to the games. It was so fun having such great seats, but also visiting with them and their daughter. Munching the nibbles provided. And watching an awesome game where our team came from behind - went into OT and WON! Great night! 

We also did our usual errands and went to church on Saturday this weekend. Annie wanted to hang out with us and do some shopping and then we went out for sushi (a fave of the 3 of us). So we tried a place we had never gone before. It was small and so cute and had amazing food! Matt and I especially loved the wasabi wontons you dip in sweet chili sauce. Yummy!  We also caught up on jeopardy episodes with Annie & her bf in FL (through facetime). And she and I did some prom dress shopping too. I can't believe it will be her senior prom soon! Hold me please 😢

The weather was mild this weekend, so we got out more of the deck furniture and the grill - yay!! We soaked up some sunbeams too. Today and tomorrow are both going to be unseasonably mild for where we live and I'm here for it! 

We also put away the last of the greenery outside and got out the windchimes and I put out my spring wreath on the front door. A lovely true Spring weekend overall. 
☺️🌸

THINKING ABOUT:  

Getting outside to walk in the gorgeous sunshine on this amazing weather day! ☀️





















AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE

Clean, bright, spring and Easter decorations up, sun streaming in, listening to beautiful violin music on pandora. Window is open and I can hear my windchime in the breeze now and then. This is the absolute earliest I can ever remember getting out the grill and some deck things.

For His Light and Love to cast out the darkness everywhere.  For healing for both of Matt's parents as they continue to deal with their health issues.  For Matt's 2nd eye surgery coming up. 🙏

  1. You guys really don't have snow anymore! we received 8 inches on Sunday :( far from spring yet but the temperatures are higher than normal so we should get there earlier than usual. Sushies look good. Enjoyed all your pictures and reading about your weekend. Have a great week

    1. Thanks Lucie! Sending you Springy thoughts on the wind. Geese have even been flying back to the bay already. True signs of Spring - although back to a cold snap next week. Can't complain though. So grateful for the mild this year. 💗

  2. It looks like such a fun weekend! I love the Vanna Annie photo!
    We got snowed on again yesterday. Today the sun is shining but it's still cold. But it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow.
    I love all the spring fun going on inside your house too. It looks great!
    Praying Matt's surgery goes smoothly!

    1. Thanks Mari! Yes, a rare cooperative teenager plus pizazz! 😁 Matt's surgery went great yesterday thankfully! 🙏🏻 Like he has a new lease on life. No glasses! It's amazing with all the problems his eyes had. 💗

  3. It sure looks like Spring has sprung at your place, Carrie. Your Easter decorations are so sweet, especially the last blue egg with the bunny. A reminder of the Season. Sushi meals look absolutely delicious. Happy times. xxx
