See it's easy 

Now that we're all smiling let's get on with 

This one makes me smile and makes me Happy so I am re-using 

it today and waitin' for Fall and all the fun and Happy times!  

Today I am joining Sandra for our regular Happy Homemaker 

post.  Sandra provides prompts for discussion,   I add a few of my own when I'm in the mood or if something pops into my head!

The Weather

July in Texas 'Gotta Love it"  One word Hot.  

But I do love Texas!  At least my little 'neck o the woods'

Outside my window

I am happy to say that out the front window is lovely green grass.

No Dadelions and the flower bed that has been on my To Do List now has a layer of mulch!  It is a WIP still but phase one is complete!

On the breakfast plate

I have this yummy bread that looks pefect for French Toast.

Oh and some Bacon.  Yummy.  I'll toss on an Egg for the Cowboy.

I am wearing

Cool clothes today for sure.  Just some baggy shorts and a grubby T-shirt for outside and inside work.  I may go the post office so I'll change to jeans into a not so grubby T-shirt.  LOL.  If I go. Sometimes it is hard to get out of the house if I am in the 'groove'.

On the To Do List

Finish Laundry Room Clean up WIP

Get a few Flowers for Fall

Order seeds-check to see if Ace Hardware has any

Finish prepping beds for Fall

Work on new 'Look' for the blog ✔
Did you see my New/Old banner photo?

Prep for a couple of tours I'm thinking of doing

Finish Book display shelf in Family room 

Goals this week

Here are just a few . . . 

     

I just finished

Something fun to share

I love Christmas don't you?  

It's never too early to plan for the holidays or just enjoy them.  Next week everyday will be Christmas here at the blog.  It's a huge surprise just like Christmas.  But I will give you this sneak peek I'll write my regular posts too.  So that means 2 posts a day here!  

In the garden 
Waiting on the Sun Flowers to pop open.

 The Zinnia's are so pretty.  Last year they bloomed all the way to October!  I had planted them early and some went to seed and reseeded.   

My bed isn't as big as last year but it is still pretty.  

And lookie the Canna in the front yard bloomed!

 Thankfully I finally got mulch started in the bed but I am still working on it.   The poor Canna didn't get any yet!

In the craft from 
Finishing up the 'Pretty' Junk Journal for the SWAP you can see 
part 1 of the process post here. 

I also spend time almost daily writing scripture in a journal that I decorate.  I am in a group that gives the scripture prompt and then we write, decorate and share our page with each other. 

Scripture/Devo

The video she shared here 'spoke' to me.  Even if your not a Bible Journal'er' please go by and watch the video and hear the relevant message that she shares for Today.  The message is one of Hope and will remind you How to be Happy.

Thanks for coming by and sharing my plans for 

A Happy week

Have a Blessed Day!

I'll be linking my posts this week at these parties.
I am still refining my current list of parties if I've miss one let me know!
