Happy Tuesday beautiful Friends!
I'm late to the HHM party this week as yesterday I spent the day with my sweet Mumsy. She's been feeling better and we were finally able to do our mutual birthday big day out (we go shop and do lunch and hang out). I treasure time with her and just love that lady so very much. 💗
In other birthday news it was my amazing Hubby's birthday yesterday! We celebrated over the weekend and Aaron and Jill were up and stayed here for the visit. We had my Mom and step Dad over too and sang happy birthday to my Mom and Matt. (Mom's bday is the 25th and Matt's the 27th) We got pizza from a local place that is everyone's favorite and then played games and had cake and ice cream. Then we played late night Mario Party with Aaron and Jill and just had such a fun night.
And speaking of my dear Aaron - his scan came back normal...thank You Lord Jesus in heaven for answering our prayers!! I didn't realize how much I had been holding my breath until I got the relieving news. So thank you so much for all of your prayers and support through all that scary stuff. I'm so grateful for you all! 🙏🏻🧡
We were at Saturday evening mass and so many prayers of thank you were said. 😊 And earlier in the day Saturday Matt got the deck cleared off and did leaf blowing to clean up for winter. I'm so glad Aaron was here to help for some of the heavier lifting of deck things so I didn't have to put my back through helping. Lol 😉
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE THIS MORNING:
no brekkie - just protein coffee.... and then I had avocado sourdough toast with hot honey for lunch and some raw veggies and protein dip
ON MY TO DO LIST THIS WEEK:
out with my Mom (already did) :), cleaning projects getting ready for winter ahead, halloween party with our friends, hospice work
THINKING ABOUT:
how good God is and the relief in my heart (brings me to tears)
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:
Some of the nights get so chilly now and when we put our feet up at the end of the day I love covering up with my big soft blanket. The feeling of cozy makes me so very happy.
CURRENTLY READING
Some new holiday magazines and an old book I hadn't finished before.
ON THE TV TODAY:
Jeopardy, old seasons of big brother and the office, Great British Baking Show, Dancing with the Stars, Survivor, Shark Tank, Shifting Gears, Ghosts
ON THE MENU THIS WEEK:
MONDAY - last night we had grilled ham & cheeses on sourdough and Matt had cheddar and broccoli soup, veggies & protein dip
TUESDAY - pho chicken soup
WEDNESDAY - a new recipe I want to try - baked chicken breasts filled with stuffing and chopped apple on a bed of carrots with a sauce on top
THURSDAY - protein chicken crust pizza topped with caesar salad
FRIDAY - out with the C's for a Halloween party at Mr. C's Aunt's house. His Aunt makes a huge pot of chili and everyone potlucks (I'm bringing a snack and a treat - I think munchie mix as there are a lot of people there and it makes a lot, and Halloween bark)
TO RELAX THIS WEEK I WILL:
cross-stitch gifts I'm working on, paint, crochet (potential gift)
TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:
*thought this might be helpful during this season of crafting
FROM THE CAMERA:
Always so weird to see the deck so empty at the end of the season. We kept out chairs and fire pit (as they just get pushed up against the house) and we may still have a few cozy Fall fires yet.
Frosty nights call for good hot coffee in the morning. I have 2 of these mugs I got as a gift from a gf and I love them because they have lids to keep your coffee nice and toasty.
Earlier Saturday I was putting up decorations for the birthday party to come. On Sunday the Hubby was out catching rays because it was actually very warm out that day (60's). And he had a little visitor soaking up some sunshine with him. :)
