TaDa Tuesday Because . . .

  . . . I missed Busy Monday! 

I have started a new Thawng today. 

Welcome to Ta Da Tuesday 

Actually I do a Ta Da prompt on my Saturday Happy Homemaker post.  So it's really not all that new.  

We had a fun Ta Da moment yesterday.  One reason I didn't get a post written . . . 


We went to Seawolf Park here in Galveston. 


You guys are getting a sneak peek with words.  Tomorrow I'll be sharing on Wordless Wednesday.  


It was a super fun day sitting in a camp chair in the shade and watching boats, dolphins swim and fisherman.  




We all four came home whooped and full from our little impromptu super fancy picnic of Smoker Salmon and Triscuit.




  I had Animal Crackers for dessert 😊.  

A Super Fun 

Monday Moment

Ta Da

 I've been spending most of my spare moments working on my crochet project.   

I have begun sewing the blocks together.  

It is so big now I had to get the card table out to lay it on while I put the blocks together . . . 


A few days ago I tested it on the bed.   I am so happy with this project!

Ta Da  


I have been resting my eyes which is the reason I haven't been posting.  Did you know I publish my blog on my cell phone? 

Ta Da 

I was having headaches and my eyes hurt for several days so I totally got off the social media and reading books on my phone. 

I was having withdrawals from reading so I started looking for books I could listen to. And I found this book  . . .  

A favorite author and a book I haven't read.   Finished and reviewed.  

Ta Da 

I was able to write and post the Cozy Mystery New Releases on my book blog . . . 


I post every week the list and I include Sweet Clean Romance and Traditional Mystery and Suspense on a separate post.   You can go over Here


And I played around on Pinterest my Fairy God Mother and found out how to dress for a Tea Party! 



Ta Da 

Did you know I have never been to a Tea Party?   I write About them every Tuesday.  

Maybe someday I can write a 

Tuesday  Tea Party

Ta Da Moment 


Well that's all the Ta Da's for today.  I hope you will come by and visit SeaWolf Park with me tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday. 

Have a Blessed Day

Happy Homemaker in Texas

 Welcome to HHM

 aka 

Happy Homemaker Monday

A blog party created by Sandra.  She writes Diary of Stay At Home Mom.  Her links are below.  

Sandra provides the prompts and a photo graphic which is below.  I made my own.  

Here are the prompts . . .  

The weather . . . Same 'ole.   Same 'ole!  Lovely Island weather!   It might get to 75 today.   If rain is in the forcast it usually happens over night. 

 I look outside my window. . .

 This morning I have my door open.   I hear birds singing.  Over the weekend outside the window were motorcycles.  A group of 18 rented the house across the street.  

Right now . . . I feel like I am being lazy.  I need to clean the kitchen. But I am writing this post.  


Thinking and Pondering . . . I love our Peace and Quiet Island Life but I miss my kids and grandkids.  I guess it is the Holidays.  


How I am feeling . . . I feel really good except for being overwhelmed with the thought of decorating for Christmas.  I am finally to the point I figure 'Why bother'?Gasp.  Yes I said it!  

On the breakfast plate . . . On Sunday I made a simple Pancake Breakfast.  Which wasn't so simple for me.  I need a non stick skillet.  I have been looking at Tuesday Morning for weeks.  Maybe tomorrow is the day! 


Of course he added Syrup.  We are rationing to 1 slice of Bread.  Mean 'ole Doctor! 

What I could be wearing . . .  Sorry I know you are as tired of my wardrobe as I am! 

How about this . . . 

My kind of looks.  All  found at Old Navy! 

On my reading pile . . . Oh boy and now the partial truth comes out about why I haven't been posting.  I am super.  Behind on reading because I have had trouble with my eyes and having headaches. 

Solution . . . 

Stopped being on my phone so much.   

No more headache.  

Knock on wood!

Here's the pile

Happy Homemaker in Texas End Of October Post


The last few weeks have been crazy busy.  I didn't want to miss posting this one I didn't get a chance to finish earlier! 

The weather 

Gorgeous  sun.  It only gets mid 80's.  🏝 Island Life! A lot rain over night. 


As I look out my window 

The neighbors put up a Pumpkin bunting and 3 ghosts on her porch rail.  

I bet she gets Christmas on! 

Right now I am playing catch up.  I was sick with Migraines a few days.  Boy things get behind so easy! 


 Thinking and Pondering that Christmas Tree in the corner 

How I am feeling 

Better than I have for several  days.  Not sure if I had Migraines  but whatever  it was sure painful. 

On the breakfast/lunch plate

Usually have Brunch.  We rarely eat both meals.  I do drink a glass of o.j.in the morning if I think about it. 

What I am wearing  just the same boring thing.  I stay home except  for walking dogs.  No need for fancy duds. 

Maybe not such skinny jeans only if they are stretchy.

On my reading pile 




Not much reading.  My eyes are still bothering.   Taking it slow. 

I am listening to this . . . .


On my TV 

Watched a Fockers movie last night.  They are so funny.  He's planning on another one tonight. 

I think Lost Kitchen is back on Frid. 

On the menu

Monday 

Lasagna,  Salad and Bread

Tuesday 

Tacos

Wednesday 

Fried Chicken Wings 

Thursday 

Crab Leg Boil

Friday  

Chicken Alfredo and Broccoli


Looking around the house  

Sleeping dogs and sleeping  husband!

To Do List 

Grocery Store

Need to go to post office

Want to go to book store.  Even though I can't  read right now.  I can collect! 

Need to go to Dollar Tree for candy for neighbor kids and dogs. 

From the camera  

The Cowboy  made the bed. I didn't  even asked!
