Happy Homemaker Monday on Tuesday

Happy Homemaker Monday on Tuesday because I spent all day Monday cleaning the house. We were at a fundraiser all weekend and nothing got done here. It is all shiny now though.
I had to put my photo at the top because it wouldn't load earlier. Enjoy.

I want this! Isn't this a cool chicken house? Except I want to extend it for my bunnies with a screened in area. I yearn. Someday.

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Blue skies. And some cool breezes.
Things that make me happy:
An evening walk with the Cowboy, the dog and the cat. Yes the cat walks with us.

Book I'm reading:
The Case of the Great Granny by Thomas Emmon Pisano (watch for the review)


What I'm enjoying on TV:
in the next hour Mickey Mouse club with the grandbaby

On the menu for dinner:
I have no idea. I have a freezer full of meat and french fries and no veggies. I love veggies.

On my To Do List:
Play with the baby today he turned two and he is bringing his 4 wheeler we got him for his birthday. Scratch play I'll be chasing probably!

. . . take a nap too!

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I made onion rings a new way last night and they were sooooo good! Used bread flour, seasoned cornstarch and half a jiffy cornbread mix. Cut real thin and fried in the iron skillet. Yummy!

In the craft basket:Oh I so want to sew!


Looking forward to this week:
normal

Tips and Tricks:
I use shelf paper but can't always find the right color or pattern. So I get fabric and use clear contact paper over it. It works great and it is simple and easy to change. Much less expensive than shelf paper. You can reuse the fabric too.
My favorite blog post this week:
One of my new friends is Carrie at Farming on Faith wrote this post about friends (enjoy reading it just after the happy birthday post.)


Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):
Not really new to me but I want to share with you a fellow Texas. Candy at I love her photo's and the stories she shares along with them. Go over and say "hi"

No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):
Blogger won't let me upload...photo's of birthday coming soon.
Lesson learned the past few days:
This is silly to post but did you know that if you get overexposed to the sun your lips can be damaged and swell. Yup. Mine were so swollen on Sunday morning I couldn't go to our chapel service. I missed my boys.
On my mind:Where God's wants me to be.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Borrowed Sandrahttp://familycorner.blogspot.com/ the hostes of Happy Homemaker Monday on Monday LOL I love this one. I needed to be reminded of this.
