Happy Homemaker Monday

hhm

The weather in my neck of the woods:
It was supposed to be 1 oC last night which is around 30 oF.

Things that make me happy:
I asked my youngest daughter how the dog behaved on the wood collecting expedition. It is a big deal because our second son is at uni now, so the two youngest went. We were worried they wouldn't. They both helped, and by all accounts the dog was a very good boy for a nearly two year old, maybe he is growing up. Anyone who has a German Shorthaired Pointer, a very large one may know what I mean. He chewed on a cow bone. How come cow dogs don't seem to do that?

Book I am reading:
I may read Beverly Lewis The Preacher's Daughter

What I am enjoying on TV:
River Cottage - Winter's On The Way
Economy Gastronomy



On the menu for dinner:
Chilli Bean Casserole with Herby Dumplings

On my To Do list:
To go to the hairdressers with my daughter about styling her hair for the deb ball, a consultation

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Black eyed Beans/Peas & Vegetable Soup

In the craft basket:
The same pair of trousers as last time

Looking forward to this week:

Lesson learned the past few days:
That Glee have redone the song Sweet Caroline



To see original Neil Diamond (when he was really young) see below. There is also one by Elvis.



On my mind:
I changed my mind about the two videos above, thought they don't fit the post, but still want them for me to watch

Hi Linda,
My girls have really been getting into Glee lately. They watch the episodes on their computer. I very much enjoyed that rendition of "Sweet Caroline" by them.

Also, I guess it really is a small world, as I have known Renee of Little Earthling photography for about thirteen years. They live about half an hour away from us.

Renee has a lovely personality.

Hi Linda
Sounds like you have a busy week ahead. Are you enjoying a day off today?
I like this meme - especially the blog links - what a fun way to visit other blogs!
Have a great day & week ahead.
Renata :)

You have a very varied and interesting week, Linda.
Cooling down in your area, it is still about 16C overnight here.

It does seem very relaxing.
