This is how we choose to remember Grandpa, slightly grumpy, always full of life, and forever making his beautiful music.
Anyway, before I start crying again, I'm going to get on with this HHM.
The weather: Rain chances every. single. day. But at least we aren't under a flood watch, because last week was ROUGH. I just want some sun on Thursday, Josie's 3rd birthday. Please. Pretty please?
How I am feeling this afternoon: Tired. Grateful for the cooling fan.
On my mind: Grandpa Bruce. My Mom's birthday present, why isn't it here yet? (Because COVID, I know) I'm hoping I can pull off dinner today (Sandra's Beef-filled Crepes), but feeling mildly confident because I can make wonderful crepes.
On the breakfast plate: I had Hardee's hash rounds and a coffee, and half a little apple hand pie.
On my reading pile: I got the reading bug and finished the Angie Pallorino series by Loreth Anne White last week. I ugly cried SO much. I need to finish "Dewey" and I already started "Dark Vengeance" by Russell James.
On my TV: I honestly have no idea right now. I've mostly been reading.
On the menu this week:
Monday: Beef Filled Crepes
Tuesday: Chicken and Couscous, Veggies
Wednesday: Pork Chops in Mustard Sauce, Mashed Potatoes
Thursday: Josie's birthday! Meatball Philly Cheesesteak Bake, and Cake!
Friday: Italian Chowder
Saturday: Cabbage Roll Casserole
Sunday: Chicken Fettucine Alfredo
From the camera:
The soon to be birthday girl, Josie Tamarah, in all of her curly haired glory!!
Looking around the house: Overall not bad, but my living room looks like a toy store threw up in it. Oof.
Chore I'm not looking forward to this week: Right now, it's folding the laundry. Because I just don't waaaaaant to.
To relax this week, I will: Wait until Thursday and maybe sleep in just a touch before decorating cupcakes, ha.
On my prayer list: This country, my Mom and siblings as usual, and an unspoken prayer request. God knows.
Devotional/Bible Verse: I'm currently in 2 Chronicles, and I'm coming to the end of it. Today, I read about Hilkiah finding the book of the law and King Josiah realizing how greatly Judah had transgressed...and immediately seeking God. And it's made me wonder. How often am I actively seeking God?
Have a beautiful week!!!
That first year after the loss of a loved one is definitely one of the toughest. Hope you have a great week! And Happy Birthday on Thursday to your beautiful daughter.
