Happy Homemaker Monday

Hosted by Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

The weather outside is...
Much colder than we had yesterday.  It was 60 degrees yesterday, currently it is 35.  This rollercoaster weather has got to go! 

On the breakfast plate this morning...
Just coffee.  I still need to pick up some groceries.

As I look outside my window...
It is still dark outside.  The street lights are still on, neighbors have their Christmas lights lit up.  It rained overnight and the road is a bit wet.

Right now I am...
Sipping on my coffee, chatting with my husband.

As I look around the house...
Boxes need to be put back in the attic.  We put our tree up and decorated for Christmas.  This is the first year I've put up my village in a long time.

On today’s to do list...
Pick up a few essential grocery items
Do paperwork I need to finish
Work on a few church projects
Do Christmas cards
Get a package together I need to mail out

Favorite photo from the camera...

During small shop Saturday we hit a few shop in town.  We have this small primitive shop in town called "The Country Junktion".  It was here I picked up these candles.  They look and feel like candles but are battery operated.  They are perfect for the sconces that my grandfather carved for us.  I've always been afraid to light a candle in them.  The flames flicker just like real ones. 

From Scripture...
Psalm 42:1-3
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”
