Happy Homemaker Monday ~ March 17, 2025

 

Joining with Sandra @ Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

The weather....  Sunny and 72° Can it be? The sun's going down.

Right now I am.... grateful that my husband and I ate big lunches, so I won't have to make dinner!

Thinking....  of how wonderful it is that this is spring break week.

On my reading pile.... Once again this week, the focus this week will be Bible, Anne of Green Gables, and my Western Heritage Reader for my free Hillsdale college online class. On Everand, I'll be listening to The Wings of Poppy Pendleton by Melanie Dobson. She has such a terrific imagination that builds sets and action and characters in my mind.


On my TV.... We are still watching Miss Scarlet and The Duke Season 2 on Prime Masterpiece Theater. It is a detective story set in 19th century London.


Favorite blog post last week.... Pink Sunday by Sarah at Classical Homemaking

Something fun to share.... I got to go visit my grandson today. I just love the way his little 19 month old face lights up when he sees his grammy. I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart. This little guy is a gift from God!

A Simple pleasure.... Knitting scrappy socks! They're my favorites.




Blog hopping.... A Rested Heart by Mrs. White at The Legacy of Home

On the menu for this week.... 
Monday ~ I don't even know! I need to make my menu.

On my to do list.... Laundry, cleaning, knitting, and catching up with old friends.

In the craft basket.... knitting of course!

Looking forward to this week.... I'm going to see my dear friend Beth tomorrow. She's been out of town for awhile.

Looking around the house.... My workroom is still messy. I wonder if I take before and after photos if that would motivate me?

From the camera.... 


Crane Creek last summer
I'd like to go again this summer.



On my prayer list.... The peace of Jerusalem. Salvation for prodigals. 

Bible verse, Devotional....

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:6-7 


Today's Question:  Would you like me to start a link up for what's on our needles?

Please say hello!
Have a great week!
Laura

  8. Hello, Laura. You are one busy lady!
    You mentioned You Tube in your last post. I like You Tube but it takes up too much of my time. There is just something nicer about a good "old-fashioned" blog that really appeals to me.

    1. ​It's a pretty special place. It's going to be awhile before it's warm enough, but maybe this summer.
      Have a terrific week!

    1. I am enjoying Miss Scarlet. I have a feeling we might have skipped a season though. I need to check. Thnks for writing to me. I waited a very long time for my first grandchild. I'm very thankful.

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
