Happy Homemaker Monday




Hello beautiful Friends of my Heart ~
I hope your Monday has been starting off the week right for you so far. And I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

We spent this past weekend at the lake. My MIL was out of town - so Matt and I went to spend the weekend with his "Pop" (as Matt calls him ๐Ÿ˜Š). We kept him company, brought meals, and helped with things around the property. We also played some cards and watched some movies and football of course. My Packers were being so naughty with penalties yesterday. Geesh! Like 130 yards in penalties (if you don't know football that's really bad). Plus it was a roller coaster and aged me...until they finally squeaked out a win in OT. Sorry for that side venting. Lol

Matt and I also got in some lovely walks too. It's really starting to turn colors and it was nice and cool (in the 50's-60's) which is perfect sweatshirt and walking weather. 

I hope it's cooling down where you are too and you're getting all the Fall vibes. Happy Fall Solstice tomorrow! ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ๐Ÿงก

FROM THE CAMERA:

The beautiful lake and a little bass at the end of the stairs on the dock. :) 



I made chili & fixings and we had that (on tv trays) while we watched football with Matt's Dad yesterday... along with honey butter glazed cornbread muffins I had also made and some apples and caramel dip. Yay Fall foods!๐Ÿ˜‹


Pretty moments of our other "home" ๐Ÿ๐Ÿงก




Beautiful moments from walking up at the lake -including leaves, cattails, acorns, deer tracks, and the neighbor's gorgeous dahlias! 

love when he grabs my hand ❤️











this is part of the driveway up to where our property is there



the drive home had many lovely colorful moments - it's going to get really pretty in the next few weeks around our area ๐Ÿ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›


Home moments and I love the crackle campfire sound of woodwick candles, don't you?










PRAYER LIST:

 For an end to the conflicts all over the world and anyone living in war & fear, especially everything going on in the middle east right now. For peace and unity in this country, especially from hate and shootings or violence.  For anyone sick, suffering, in pain, fear, loneliness etc ... that God bring them comfort and peace. 

For the Lord's love and peace to fill all ❤️'s.

For Christ's Light and Love to cast out the darkness everywhere and help the world find its way to loving our neighbors as ourselves. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
