Happy Homemaker In Texas

Welcome to Happy Homemaker.  The post where I share a few plans for the week ahead.  And a little this and that. 

I link with Sandra

She provides prompts 

I add a few of my own

The weather 

It's a beautiful day here today.  Actually all our days are beautiful.  Spring time is Texas is just nice.  Our days are warm and sunny are highs are in the upper 80's.

Right now 

I am listening to the Cowboy get ready for work.  Domino is laying next to me.  I can hear the sounds of baseball games outside.

Cars parking and doors slamming as people arrive to watch the little ones play.

On the reading pile

Right now my pile is on my phone.  Every time I get a new offer I wonder just how much my phone will hold.  We are already scheduling into August.  Just a few include.

 

 Just finished this 5 star read last night.  This is a series but I jumped in at book 4 but it is easily a stand alone.  I loved it!

Good clean mystery!  

      

And I am reading this one now 

In the kitchen

I need to break my habit of stopping at McDonald's for breakfast.
I know ick!  I tend to drive through for a Dr. Pepper and a hash brown.  The good thing is 1 large with lite ice takes me through my

entire work day.  I am thinking positive here. LOL. 
I have been planning on eating a healthier breakfast.  This would be a better one than my normal.

Something fun to share

Saw this on pinterest but there wasn't a link.  This brought back memories of taking Home Ec. in High School.  I don't think they 

even have Home Ec. anymore.  

In the craft basket
Two red,white,blue quilts for July 4th

Binding sewn on just need to do the hand sewing to finish it off.

This one is bigger I need to decide on fabric for the binding and get it finished up. It will go on the back of the couch for the 4th.

From the camera

A boy and his dog.  They were happy to see each other.  Duke 
was home alone this week while the newlyweds were on the 
honeymoon.  My grandson stayed with us a few days and at friends.  We went over daily to play with his dog.
Everyone is home now starting a new life together. PTL
