Happy Homemaker 2025-07-21

Good morning

Vacation mode :)

Started it off with a musical evening in next town with neighbors on Friday night.

Saturday was housechores and my brother and sil arrived in the afternoon.  We had a nice supper outside in the gazebo, followed with a musical evening (The Crooners) in next town.  They slept over.

Sunday we went to hiking to the top of a mountain with them... let me tell you I found it Hard.  Going up the cardio was working hard.  Coming down my knees where killing me.  So I've been using voltaren.  Today (If I don't go up and down the stairs is not too bad... I even managed a small walk this morning).  After the hike they left for another town and we visited with some friends... got lots of good veggies from their huge garden too.

I'm very happy with lower temperatures than those of the last few weeks


Looking around the house
Quite fine but it needs a mopping.  DH is repainting the front doors ... a golden color quite a difference from the red doors.

  2. Hello Dear Lucie 💗
    Yay for vacation time!! And wow that was some hike! Isn't that the worst part about this age? The darn aches and pains. When I go up steep hills or do lots of stairs I feel it in my right hip. Ugh! Lol Love your funny - so perfect 😂
