Blessings In The South

{ Happy Homemaker Monday - July 27 }

















The weather in my neck of the woods:
Sunny hot & humid.

One of my simple pleasures:
After supper when it's cooler outside, Danny takes a ride all over the property. He has to check the irrigation to the trees and looks for bugs or signs of disease. He calls this "Making an Assessment". I especially like to do this on the golf cart vs. the Rhino because the golf cart is quiet. It's a nice way to spend the last hours of the day together.


On my bedside table:
"The Believer's Guide to Spiritual Warfare" by Thomas B. White. I've had this book for over 10 years. It is underlined, dog eared, & highlighted. It is a book that I have referred to a lot. If you are a Christian, I recommend you adding this book to your library. It is scripturaly sound and truthfully written.


On my TV:
Nothing. It is quiet in this house this morning.


On the menu for tonight:
Country fried steak with gravy & onions, mashed potatoes, field peas, cream corn, and sliced tomatoes.


On my To Do List:
Wash and hang out a few loads of laundry.
Vacuum the kitchen. We have been on a glass breaking spree for some reason & we are finding little shards of glass on the floor!
Clean my front porch. The porches have to be wiped down every so often.


New Recipe I tried last week:
Tomato Dip with chips....hot!


In the craft basket:
I don't have one....sorry!


Looking forward to:
A weekend coming up at a cabin on Crooked River on the Georgia coast! We are going to do some saltwater fishing and lounging. We will also be attending a cousin's wedding that is near where we will be staying.


Homemaking Tip for this week:
We usually have venison & a home grown cow in the freezer but we missed last years meat because of Danny being sick. My local grocer had a good sale on meat this past week so I bought several pounds of pork chops, steak, and a big chuck roast. I divided up the meat into servings and wrapped them in freezer paper. It didn't take 15 minutes. This will get us through until we harvest some more meat.


Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
I really enjoyed Sandra's post from the KITCHEN last week. She always makes you feel at home and like you are in her presence when she blogs.

Favorite photo from last week:

Little Package got a new baby doll last week. At bedtime she couldn't give the doll up nor her favorite place with Poppa.




















Lesson learned the past few days:
Patience...keep your cool and wait it out.


On my Prayer List:
My family.
A little girl with an unknown illness.


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

I continue to use the daily devotional from Streams in the Desert. Awesome!
