Another quiet week on my blog last week. Not so much in real life. This is my first day off work since the day after Halloween. I really enjoyed my 31 days of questions and answers series and hope you did as well. It seems that ended and my work turned crazy again.
Hopefully, it’s all sorted now and I can have a bit of a quieter week and check in on this place (and yours!) a bit more often now.
And of course, I do have to just have to say a few more things on one subject (non-sports people feel free to skip):
How about those Chiefs!!!!!???? Nine and O!
Our conversation during the last 2 seconds of that game:
Me: They are going to lose. Why? Why to Denver of all teams?
Maybe he’ll miss the kick.
Husband: He’s not going to miss.
Me: Can they block the kick?
Husband: That’s all they can try to do but that’s probably not going to happen.
And then, you football fans out there know the rest of the story….
CHEERING all around over here. Go Chiefs!

Okay, back to the subject of joining in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday.
The weather in my neck of the woods
Can not make up its mind. Actually, it’s finally fall out there. It was about 45 degrees this morning and supposed to be in the 60’s this afternoon. It’s been warm enough though that I moved pretty much all my plants back outside. Going to have to move them in again soon though. And last week as well as on Saturday, we finally had some much needed rain. Even though my picture is of rain, today is a beautiful sunny day.
Things that make me happy
The season finally changing over to autumn weather along with some beautiful trees, the return of standard time (hello, light in the morning again!), and quiet weekends at home.
Book I’m reading
Chloe’s Cornish Christmas by Daisy James. Light holiday romance.
What’s on my tv today
Nothing. Yesterday was football. We’ll probably watch the Monday night football game. If I do watch something later it’ll just be catch up on shows like Found and Brilliant Minds.
On the breakfast plate
French toast sticks and sausage. Coffee, vitamins.
On the lunch plate
Grilled cheese
On the dinner plate
Roast is in the slow cooker. Probably making it into sandwiches and serving with fries.

Hello my Lovely!
I loved your question and answer series – so fun. 😁
I did see about the blocked kick – it was crazy!! The Pack had a bye but we were watching other games. I swear your Chiefs are invincible! Lol
Looking Fall and festive – love it! This may be the first Thanksgiving that I’ll be decorated for Christmas before it’s here. 🙈 Thanksgiving is so late this year and we’re having an even more informal Thanksgiving than normal – so I figured it it were ever to be the year to do, it’s this one!
Blessings on the rest of your week ahead. Oh and happy birthday to J! 🎉
Yay for Fall, isn’t it the most awesome season? Enjoy your football and Turkeys (our Thanksgiving is done here in Canada). Have a great week
