What's Up Wednesday ~ 10/4/2023

 

Hello, and Happy Wednesday!

The weather outside is:

It has been crazy lately.  One day is cool and very fall-like and the next we're having 82F temps.  I'm looking forward to some cooler temperatures coming this weekend.

On today's to-do list: 

~Grocery shopping

~Sweep and mop the floors

Happening this week:

Saturday is my Alma mater's Homecoming.  Our ladies' class has a booth so we're making pies on Thursday and Friday.  We usually do very well with asking for donations instead of putting a price on the pies.

I have some other BIG news but I think I'll save that for my Tea Time post.

Currently reading:

I haven't read anything in AGES!  I picked this book up at Ollie's last Saturday evening and had to buy it.  The blurb on the back sounds amazing and I am looking forward to eking out some time to read.  Hopefully!

Watching:

We recently got rid of DISH and now have youtubeTV, FRNDLY and some other streaming channels.  We watched a Hallmark movie with Lacey Chalbert where she is in Venice trying to sell her recruiting pitch to an Italian chef.  It was called something along the lines of "A Very Venice Romance", but I could be totally off on that title.  If you're interested, I can definitely look it up and find out the exact title.

Oh, and we've also been watching The Voice.

Listening to:

Amazon Music.

On the menu today:

Salisbury Steak, Noodles, apples and a veggie of some sort

In the Craft Basket:

I actually started a new crochet project!  I'll get some pictures and share more about it later :)

Bible Verse

 "So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom."  Psalm 90:12 NKJV

Have a great Wednesday!

Blessings,

What's Up Wednesday ~ May 2022

 

Link up on the last Wednesday of every month with Sheaffer and Shay!

MAY 2022

What We're Eating:

We've been grilling a lot lately.  Mostly burgers, hot dogs, pork chops and chicken.  My Dad grilled THE BEST pork chops.  He's the grill master around here ;)

What I'm Reminiscing About:

This month was Mother's Day and I spent time reminiscing about my grandmother, aka Gram.  Even though it has will be 20 years this August since she passed away, this is still hard to write without tearing up.  I miss her so much!  Here is Gram with her beloved rose bush.  Wasn't she beautiful?

What I'm Loving:

I'm loving the fact that this is Laken's (youngest daughter) last week of school work!  Summer, HERE WE COME!

What We've Been Up To:

Nothing but schoolwork around here!  Laken was sick (Lactose Intolerant) for most of the school year and ended up being Cyber Schooled.  She got behind from all dr's appointments and just being sick in and of itself.  After we figured out the whole "Lactose" situation, she's been pulling double over-time to finish up her work on time.  She's worked so hard and I'm super proud of her.  But that means we haven't had much time to do anything else.  Come Friday, we're going to PARTY!

What I'm Dreading:

I go to my dr. on June 3rd for my annual check up.  Enough said...

What I'm Working On:

I'm working on a new granny square afghan that I'm calling Sunny Blue Hawaii 2 :)  You can read more about it and how it got it's name HERE.

What I'm Excited About:

Did I mention this is the last week of Laken's school?????   :) :) :)

What I'm Watching/Reading:

I haven't been watching much of anything lately but we are going to the movies to see the new Top Gun movie, Maverick, on Friday.  It will be the first I've been to the theater since before March 2020!

This month I've read the following books and I'm currently reading "Fourth and Long" by Liz Isaacson.

What I'm Listening To:

What I'm Doing This Weekend:

Going to see "Maverick" at the theater and possibly going to the local amusement park on Saturday.

What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month:

~Sleeping in!

~No School!

~Church Camp!

~10 Book of Summer
