Tea Time ~ 3/17/2022

 

Grab a cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or your favorite drink
while I share a few things about my life lately...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

~Kaylee and Shawn sent me a picture of their new dog crate for Dahlia.  Shawn, who is not a small man, was in the crate with the miniature horse masquerading as a Great Dane!  When we went down to visit, the hubby couldn't help himself.  He had to get in the crate, too!  Then Laken couldn't resist taking a turn.  At least this XXL crate should be big enough for Dahly to grow into :)

~Saturday, we were supposed to go to my nephew's 16th birthday party an hour's drive away.  Instead, we got a snowstorm :(  Thankfully, my SIL postponed Andrew's party until this Sunday so we'll still be able to attend.  The snow was all melted by Sunday afternoon.  Crazy weather!

~I'm so excited to have more light in the evenings!  I love Springing forward and I heard that there is talk of making Daylight Savings Time a permanent thing next year!  I'm not sure how good that would be for mornings but I definitely enjoy the evenings :)

~Laken had her brain MRI on Monday.  It was ordered by her neurologist due to migraines.  He wanted to make sure there wasn't anything nefarious going on.  Thank the Good LORD, her brain is "unremarkable".  That's a good thing :)

~I went to www.proverbs31.org to look for a Bible Study and happened across a new Online Bible Study that will be starting April 1, 2022.  It is called "I'll Start Again Monday".  I signed up for the class and ordered my book which should be arriving Friday.  There's still time to join in if you'd like!  Let me know if you do!

~The kittens like to "help" Laken with her school work.  Flynn is the sleeper and not much help other than being there for moral support.  Clover, on the other hand, loves to help by stepping all over the keyboard.  She likes to be in-the-know.

 

How was your week?

Happy Homemaker Monday ~ 1/17/2022

Come join Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker Monday. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello, and Happy Monday!

The weather outside is:

As I'm writing this post Sunday evening the snow is coming thick and heavy.  We're supposed to get a total of 5-8 inches, at least that was the latest prediction.  I've heard everything from 6-20 inches over the past few days.  I wouldn't mind so much but the hubby, Kaylee and Shawn have to drive in it to get to work.  Prayers appreciated!

On today's to-do list: 

Snuggling in the house and reading.  I didn't want to have to go grocery shopping in during the snow storm, so I stocked up on enough for a week on Friday.  I thought the stores would be crazy and they were!

Happening this week:

We should hear back from Laken's biopsies from her scopes this week.  They may be delayed because of the snow, but I would think we'll hear back by the end of the week.  I'm praying that they can do something and get Laken's stomach problems treated.

The hubby is on daylight this week.  I'm not sure if he'll be working overtime or not.  He'll probably find out when he gets there.

This Friday is the Friday Night Sew In!  I'll be working on getting my Mom's Blue and White Quilt sandwiched so I can start hand quilting.  I'm looking forward to it :)

Currently reading:

I'm currently reading "The Ex Talk" by Rachel Lynn Solomon.  It is the Kindred Readers Book Club selection for February 2022.  I'm reading it now so that I can have discussion questions ready to go.  I've just gotten started so I can't really say one way or the other what I think.  I will say that there is some language in it.  I'm not really used to that but I'll overlook it as long as the story is there.

On the TV:

Happy Feet

Steeler VS Cheifs Football

Hallmark

Encanto (again!)

Listening to:

This week for "Songs on Sunday" I featured "River of Life" by Max Powell.  I hope you'll check it out :) 

On the menu week:

Monday ~ Pork Chops, homemade mac-n-cheese

Tuesday ~ Spaghetti, Garlic Bread

Wednesday ~ Fish, Fries

Thursday - Ham, Fried Potatoes

Friday ~ Pizza

Saturday ~ Toasted Cheese and Tomato Soup

Sunday ~ Potluck at Church

In the Craft Basket:

I worked almost all Saturday to get Mom's Blue and White Quilt top pieced.  Now that it is together I think there is almost too much white???  The sashing is white-on-white.  Maybe I should have picked a blue on white???  Oh well, too late now!   :)

Memory Verse

"But I have trusted in they mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.  I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.?"

Have a great Monday!
