worth of formula and products for her family our conversation went on for a long while it was such a lovely long talk and she brought me to tears at one point with something she said it s not often we get validation from our kids and frankly it s not something we expect to get i think the majority of parents i know do their best to raise their kids right and hope they ve served them well but now

a day of mixed feelings of all sorts we left home very early before 8am so that we could head to church for a special veteran s day recognition breakfast in a military base town there are a copious number of veterans in the churches and ours is no exception they had a limited capacity of 234 people and i d say that probably 224 seats were filled it was a beautifully done honors day for our veterans and yes john is a veteran the program was about an hour and a half long and included a very nice breakfast it is always moving when the music begins to play the anthems of each branch and

timeline the credit for this post and the next in this short series all go to maxine who asked if i could write out a few more ideas on the subject of thanksgiving meal prep and leftovers i m happy to take her request and run ahead with it i hope you find the information helpful i think one thing i ve never understood was the woman who spent countless hours in the kitchen preparing a huge holiday meal only to realize that fifteen or twenty minutes after she d set it on the table everyone was done eating and she had countless hours of clean up ahead of her continue at november 13 2024 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest coffee chat well traveled i said earlier this month that the leaves on the pecan tree were getting thinner i looked out the window this morning into the front yard and realized my faith tree is completely bare leaves scattered all across the ground underneath and over the patio and i m sure partly cover the front porch as well there was no brilliant color this year to enjoy as we had too much dry fall weather and too warm temperatures i have a feeling the lovely drive i took on the way to mama s and back the other day is going to be the bulk of what we see for autumn color this year john is off having lunch with his former work partner and i am home alone with time on my hands and while i have a ton of tasks i

i oh the things i plan to do and then don t i could play catch up with last week s list tell me why when i ve planned to spend the day on the back porch getting wet and dirty i refuse to do it while it s raining as if i d be any less wet and dirty when i was all done with the task on a sunny day yet my mind simply said nope not while it s raining i m not which means the patio and front porch didn t get swept clean of leaves either among other things but i did get about half the tasks done and then did a few other things that weren t on the list plus i read two books how s that for accomplishments ah well if at first and all that good stuff about trying again right 1 too late to buy caleb a card but i ve four more birthdays this month that i really ought to get birthday cards for two will be late the recipients are so young that just the act of getting mail will likely be a thrill two may make it on time but with georgia s mail system these days who knows i ll skip getting caleb one unless of course i get it on the way to his party on saturday while i m out buying cards i ll try to count up all that i need and see if i can get them in bulk somewhere online and i ll order them i m serious about my resolve to be better about this next year 2 clean the back porch i m focusing on this because it is the entryway most likely to be used by ourselves and most everyone else true strangers come to the front door delivery folks acquaintances and family all come to the back get leaves off front porch and patio 3 pick up the limbs i pruned last week and prune the other rosebushes and that bit of tree i saw peeking out the backside of the flower bed after i pruned it last week 4 deadhead the mums pull spent pots of flowers 5 get donations out of the house i ve a whole bag of things to donate once again i will go through my closet one last time before i take that bag out though might as well let go of something else if it s not being worn 6 purchase pots soil bark compost for the planters 7 buy a new flag to replace my tattered one 8 continue to ponder resolutions for 2025 9 it s pay week get the check book balanced and set aside funds etc bills are already paid so i shall not have to write out anything but tithes and one other check we ll get banking done for the month 10 get a turkey or turkey breast pumpkin i ve a short list of things i m completely out of raisins potatoes lime juice not the usual stuff i d buy but the occasional things we use i ve purposely put off buying anything at the grocery until pay day has come i ve always given myself permission to buy food ahead of time but i find more and more i m trying to leave it off until we have a fresh allotment of funds in the grocery budget it s a good exercise to figure out what i can use as a substitute or what to keep on hand for substitutions anyway now that pay day is upon us i feel safe restocking my kitchen for the month as well as the holiday wants 11 work ahead on blog posts 12 continue with the new method of housekeeping i didn t get it exactly the way i wanted last week but i still think it s the way to go 13 again pin down how i want to decorate for christmas i don t think i ll be buying much of anything it s really a matter of color and theme i have more than enough ornaments so there will be little need to purchase anything other than ribbon 14 have a meal prep day again this week it s such a time saver in the long run because one day of prep means i can have meals pretty much ready to go if i do get into any projects or tasks that take longer than i ve thought it might amazon associate affiliate link if you use my amazon link to enter the site and place an order i may earn a small commission on qualifying products thank you at

when we start looking ahead at thanksgiving and christmas and quite possibly new year s meals there are plenty of festive occasions ahead starting at the end of this month and going right through until the start of the new year ahead i ve read much about budget meals for these holidays and i thought it would be nice to try and create a few different menus on a budget the goal is to have a
