Happy Homemaker In Texas

Hello Welcome to a new week!

Today I am sharing my regular feature

Happy Homemaker 

I link with Sandra she provides the prompts

I add a few of my own!

Let's get to it!

The weather 

Today it is cooler this morning but it will get super hot today. 

We are in triple digits most days and heat index is HOT. 

Than's August in Texas 

How I am feeling this morning 

I back is killing me.  After a 2 hours in the car yesterday. 

The good news is The Cowboy drove.  He was feeling much better.  But when I sit in the passenger seat it kills my back. 

I barely slept last night.  He offered a muscle relaxer I'll try it after lunch. I hope I get my post finished!

On my mind 
My back and all that I have planned for the week.  Will I get it done?

On the luncheon plate

We found a new discount grocer near the Sports Medicine Doctor clinic.  We bought hot dog buns so today it is Chili Dogs.

I put Mustard on mine. 

The Cowboy doesn't like it on Chili Dogs.

Just plain 'ole canned Chili No Beans

This is Texas remember!

I am reading now

This one is for a tour.  I'll be reviewing at My Reading Journeys

On my reading pile

Lot's of Cozy Mystery tours in the next couple months . . .   

  

On the menu 

Monday Chicken Alfredo with 3 Cheese Ravioli, Caesar Salad and Garlic Bread 

Tuesday in that rut again can't get away from Taco's!

Wednesday Pan Seared Pollock, Oven Roasted Potato's, a cup of Gumbo

Thursday Swiss Enchilada's an old family recipe.  The Cowboy made in Home Ec. back in the day.  I'll add some fresh veggies and a Salad

Friday Spaghetti and Meatballs, Salad and Bread  I got some Italian Sausage at the new grocery.  I will be 'Batch Cooking' some Meatballs. 

Still looks like a boring menu to me.

I new some new ideas!

In the craft space/room 

Making some small Embellishment pieces for Junk Journals

Trying to get a new table into my room for cutting.  I have a couple of quilts to finish.  And a baby quilt to start . . .  

And I am getting started on Christmas post cards.  I wonder how early I should mail this year?

Something fun to share 

We will have a new grand baby for Christmas!  Our daughter is getting ready.  The bassinet turned out so cute in Gray for a more modern look.  It was used for both my kids and the big brother!

To relax this week I will 

Still trying to make it to the library for a relaxing afternoon of looking at picture books. 

From the camera 

This Orchid has bloomed 3 years in a row in October.  I wonder if I'll get a bloom this year?

Scripture/Devo 
A praise.   Because the Cowboy has a chronic illness I was able to get him/us registered with the Electric company.  The doctor had to sign a paper and we were accepted.  This means 
A. . . they will not turn off our power.
B. . . in case of an outage they restore our power first. 

And, we were accepted at another organization that paid the remaining balance of our Electric bill this month.  We had been having to make installment payments.  They paid it off.  Our 
balance is Zero

Praise the Lord!

Do you have a Praise today?
