Master To-Do List and Menu Plan Monday - October 24, 2021

Greetings and Good Morning! ☕

I hope that you had a nice weekend where you're at and that your week is off to a great start! Happy Monday! 💗

My Mums - October 2018

The weekend here disappeared in one big blur and I accomplished very little over the course of it, but the days leading up to it were quite productive with much being accomplished. 

I got together with my lawyer early in the week and got some paperwork taken care of, wished grandson, Timothy, a Happy 15th Birthday, and enjoyed an afternoon and a couple of evenings visiting with some of the children and their families.

I got the weed-eating done and all but one of the iris beds mowed down. After I get that done, I hope to get the trees trimmed up and a bunch of saplings that have sprung up cut down. Then, I want to work on the back fencerow. It is a mass of tangled weeds and vining plants including honeysuckle and poison ivy. I hope to get all of that cleaned up before the snow flies.

I also rode over to Aldi's with Amber and got started on a winter stock-up.


The big news this week is...I found out that I'm going to be a grandma again (this makes grandbaby #21) and am in the midst of getting a new roof put on. I am very excited about both and blessed beyond measure!

Roofing Materials

For those that have been inquiring about my outed-rib, it had settled down considerably and I had had no pain medication for several days. This morning it's giving me absolute fits. I will be taking some pain medication as soon as I am able. 

Let's get started on this week's post...shall we?

    1. Yes, it was officially confirmed today and the due date is June 14th. I seem busy, I know, but, the truth is, I spend a good part of every day wandering around feeling lost and not knowing what to do with myself. I hope your week is off to a great start. Blessings!

    1. Like I just told Lisa, I seem busy, but a good part of my days are spent wandering around feeling lost without my husband. I'm trying to add extra things to my list to try to fill in the gaps. I hope your week is off to a great start. Blessings!
