Happy Homemaker Monday-Merry Christmas Edition

Welcome to Happy Homemaker Monday
I am joining Sandra at Family Corner
She provides the prompts.  I add a few of my own.

The weather 

Fall in Texas.  How I wish I could be outside.  It's a bit chilly in the
mornings and them warms up nicely.  Some days no sweater is even needed in the mornings.  

Right now I am 

Enjoying the sun shining in my window and waiting on a breakfast 
casserole to come out of the oven 

Thinking

Hope Happy I am.  This week our son and his family are coming to visit.

I found the recipe on pinterest.  Click here.

On my reading pile

I always have a lot.  You can see what I have been reading over at my book blog.  Click here. 
Today though I wanted to share this one here.  It is so good.  I wanted you all to know about it!

This is a family devotional and I am sorry I didn't look at it sooner so I could share it. It's being featured by the publisher and I received a complimentary copy.  I'll be writing a review.

But you can visit the authors site to learn more.  Click here.

From the camera 

I've been cuddling with a quilt (the first I ever made) that I brought home from my mothers.  Domino seems to know not to lay on it.
