Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Plain cold

One of my simple pleasures:
Little finches, a joy.

On my bedside table:
A Cousin's Promise, Wanda Brunstetter

On my TV:
Deborah 13: Servant of God
Flight 29 Down, which I think is brilliant
Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory

On the menu for tonight:
we had Pea & Ham soup with kranskys, they were baby ones

On my To Do list:
Still trying to ring the school dentist, but I have the number now, I have rung twice, and got answering machine

New Recipe I tried last week:
Salad Nicoise with Slow Roasted Vegetable Ravioli pdf

In the craft basket:
Nothing

Looking forward to:
Warmer weather

Homemaking Tip for this week:
Supermarket ham and cheese topped rolls are great from frozen heated in the oven in foil, about 100oC or lowest setting? for 20 or 30 minutes and buttered with tasty cheese, much better than just from the bag

Favorite photo from last week:



Lesson learned the past few days:
Nothing I can think of

On my Prayer List:
I can't remember.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
I John 2:16, "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." (Thanks Joyce)

and 2Tim 3:4 what does the "highminded" mean in Greek I wonder?
