Happy Homemaker...

 Ohhhhhhhh I have never done this meme...you can find that blogger right here. I am writing this on Sunday evening.


The Weather:

Monday 91* w/ 36% chance of rain

Tuesday 92* w/ 22% chance of rain 

Wednesday 91* w/ 48% chance of rain

Thursday 88* w/ 48% chance of rain

Friday 85* w/ 60% chance of rain

We are sort of waterlogged here, everything is green and lush here.

Things that make me happy:

Contrary to popular belief-but our sons photo. I can't believe it has been 9 months since he passed away...

My husband and the way he looks at me (ok, to be perfectly honesty he probably thinks I am cuckoo for cocoa puffs 1/2 the time, LOL).

Random laughter (which I am learning its ok to do--as I recognize the forms of depression and dealing with our sons passing-that is what I am referring too).

Cool crisp autumn days--ha probably not much of that here in central Florida.

That first cup of coffee in the morning.

One of my favorite things:

Right now, my head is filled with useless ideas on how to decorate the cottage --IF and WHEN that happens. So, yeah, just daydreaming...which is my escape right now.

Books I am reading:

I am not reading much of anything...however, since we were here all weekend, both of us sat here in the living room in comparable/comfortable silence (no one yelling or cussing--one of the housemates likes to do that-but since they were gone, wink) and both on laptops enjoying whatever program was on. 

A Photo:

I keep forgetting to take an updated photo as the land is cleared now (has been for 3 months).


But soon there will be a house there.

What I am listening to:

The dishwasher is on, hubby has his earbuds on watching the FSU/LSU game on his laptop. And the housemate's cat is meowing at me--how dare I do not pay any attention to her, LOLOL.

Menu Plan:

Our housemates won't back until Tuesday and really, I can't tell you what we will be having. My husband, bless him, does all the cooking. He did mention Bangers and Mash sometime.

On My to Do List:

Not much...but work and probably laundry. Then shopping Saturday.

Looking Forward to/On my mind:

Getting into the house/setting up a home.

A Quote:



Well, I can tell you the only furniture we have is:

the master bedroom suite

our sons bedroom suite and his recliner 

the dining suite

2 antique dressers with mirrors

an antique dressing table

and a rolltop desk we just bought from Dixie Cottage

SO....where does that leave us?

But yes, boxes galore and it will be like Christmas morning as neither of us remember much what's in those boxes. We packed when we were in severe grief/grieving.


Wishing you a safe day as I update this Monday morning and I will leave you with a great read: Thank God the U.S...

Simple Woman's Daybook

 I am not quite sure the word 'Simple" fits me...but here goes:

Looking out my window:


Still dark (about 6:30 am), but lightness is just starting to show. The days it seems are getting shorter and the mornings staying a bit darker now.

I'm thinking: A few things:

How nice it will be to be in our own home.

Why is it when you have a day off you get up early?

I really need another cup of coffee. (Listen, a certain somebody who lives here (the better 1/2 of our hosts) don't like coffee and so he outlaws it. But since they are not here, we found the Keurig and will have coffee.

I'm thankful: for so many things.

One of my favorite things: Peace and quiet in the morning. Which is very rare when you share a house with 2 other folks. Just saying (but since they are not here, grin).

**on that note...let me tell you, we share 1/2 (and sometimes more) the costs, all the utilities and food etc.. And it costs an arm and a leg. More so than what our mortgage is going to be. BUT I AM GRATEFUL.

I'm wearing: Black pj shorts/tank with stars. Another rare thing--lounging in pj's.

I am creating: albeit in my mind, a place where our stuff will go in the cottage. Dave said last night he was ok to let more stuff go...wow, surprising. Wondering what that means, lol.

I am watching: Since we live with another couple, we do not have access to the tv (it's in their room). So, we watched college football on our computers/laptops last night. I might have zone out and watched HGTV International House Hunters too, LOL.

I am reading: Nothing yet. I already skimmed the online news. Nothing new...just that the rocket launch was scrubbed yesterday, which we knew when we were out and about.

I'm listening to: Nothing. The central ac came on and the ceiling fan is on here in the living room.

I am hoping: Revival of the folks in this world. Wake up folks and let's have a "come to Jesus" moment.

In the kitchen: I made pizza last night. Yes, I sure did. And it was nice, just the two of us.

A quote:


A moment from my day:


Yes, it has taken me a 1/2 hour to write this-it is now 7:05 am.


and our housemates just sent the above photo. Beautiful.

Have a beautiful day all...
