Happy Homemaker Monday

My husband and I took off yet for another adventure and did a one night road trip.  

We visited some falls and dined on local food.  We actually found a tavern that has been open for 50 years, known for their large burgers.  We ate a slider, because the sliders were the size of a regular burger and their regular burgers were the size of a dinner plate.  We also found an old 57 diner that was still in business and had a delicious breakfast.  I was surprised to see so many drive-in's along the way and still in business.  

Our hotel was attached to a mall.  The mall was pretty much out of business other than the movie theater and there was a walkway (hallway) from the hotel to the mall.  




Our morning sunrise this morning.



I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.  I'll link up when my blog gets it's head together.  I can't read my blog lists right now.

The weather outside is . . .

67°F/54°F, mix of sun and clouds, Tue/Wed high of 83°


How I am feeling this morning . . .

Depressed to be back home again, but glad the weather will be good starting tomorrow.  It will get me outside to weed flower beds.  Looking forward to some good ol' sunshine.


On the breakfast plate . . .

Breakfast scramble.  While on our weekend getaway, we came across the most different bar/store. In the front was a full bar, and in the back a meat counter with many delicious meats for sale.  We came home with some Andouille sausage.  Homemade flour tortillas.


On my reading pile . . .

Nothing this week.  I want to get hot pads crocheted for the girls that are moving into an apartment.


On the TV . . .

Sweet Home Carolina


On the menu this week . . .

-sloppy joes, sweet potato fried
-baked chicken, crock pot sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli
-meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn or asparagus
-breakfast scramble, homemade flour tortillas
-strawberry crisp
-leftovers



Looking around the house . . .

I have old dishes to sort between two kids.  We just found out Daughter T is getting a divorce and already has an apt. and needs dishes.  I bought us a new set after several years, so the kids get the old ones.


To relax this week I will . . .

Most likely crochet.


Something I want to share . . .

Nothing today.


Devotional, inspirational, prayer list, Bible verse . . .

My old dishes all went to the kids. And my husband wanted to know why on earth I'd want to keep them!

Debi, I think I may even have a tote out in the barn with more pots and pans for them. They both need them.

I do not think I have ever had Strawberry Crisp. I will have to look up a recipe for it. I will be praying for your daughter. Have a good week!
