Happy Homemaker Monday 2/17/20

Linking up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday

First of all Can you BELIEVE its already half way through February...time is flying by, at least for me it is. Keeping a busy schedule then **blink**... I do try and plan out where I'm going to be and what I'm doing, Including making time for the Mr and Family. Speaking of which one of my G'daughters and her BF recently bought a house in a neighboring town. They are young But 'old' minded [does that make sense?] She has come a Very long way from her early teen age years where we were not on the best of terms..At..All!
Risking everything I wanted for her I choose a Tough Love approach.. loosing her to addictive things was so incredibly hard.
I Prayed, texted, Prayed, texted again, repeating over and over how I still Loved her with all I had and would be there if and when she wanted me...
luckily after several years she responded and I cried.
Are we good now?? I say yes to this as she has come so far and has finally grown up realizing life is what YOU put in and make of it. There are NO hand outs. You get what you WORK for, lessons that I was teaching/giving her during those incredibility difficult hard years. So to you my 'MissB' my Sweetie Pie Sugar Plum I'm proud of you for growing up, continue being the independent hard-working woman that you are, and know my Love for you is Forever!


The Weather...
    It's Crazy this weather...this week has Highs of almost 60* to night time lows of 17* 

What I'm reading...
     from this psychological thriller first page...'My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I'm in a coma. 2. My husband doesn't love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie.'  At first I wasn't sure if I would enjoy reading Sometimes I Lie...the character goes from Now--to Before--to Then as these are the chapters in the book. Just started a few days ago and 100 pages in, [ also doing lot's of other reading so only read this at bedtime ]
