Happy Homemaker Monday

I'm joining Sandra today at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

I'm so glad I am taking advantage of every "good weather" day this spring.  I expected snow, and it can all the way into May.  Saturday we had our "Christmas" gathering with my family.  I gifted wild violet jelly and corn relish.  Not sure what'll come up with next holiday.   My oldest brother gifted us more MI salmon - yum!   Sunday Hubby and I went to the range to get some target practice in with friends from his work.  I met a new friend and we'll make plans again.  We had a really good time.


On the breakfast plate . . .

Eggs, toast with plum jam and coffee


The weather outside is . . .
We woke up to this on Sunday.  It's to be a high of 44°F today and up to 58° by Wed.


On the to do list . . .

Leftovers



What I am creating. . .
Just working on a knitted dishcloth.  Not much time right now for handiwork.


Looking forward to . . .
Two trips to Amish country this month for restocking health store goods, a trip to TN, our party in May, another short trip in May, Bike Week, gardening....getting the bathroom remodel done.


Looking around the house . . .
I see remnants from our oldest daughter.  She came out to go through totes in the garage and left things here and there she didn't want.  Grr.  Hence the trip to the thrift store.  She has more to clean out of the garage, and we are making progress on the clean up, but it's when we have time.


From the camera . . .
Nothing.  Ha.  I've been busy lately.


Praying . . .
No special requests at this time, us, the kids

It took weeks to get the house sorted once the girls had moved out. They left mountains of stuff that took an age to get sorted and rid of. You will miss it all once they have all moved out.

We've had snow in May around here as well, though thankfully, nothing really sticks once the days warm up like they have been. Wild violet jelly and corn relish sound like such great gifts. Hope you have a wonderful week.
