Happy Homemaker 2026-05-17

 Goodmorning!

Had a few 5:00 am walks this week but still cool in the mornings (2 - 3 C).

Thursday, dh picked up grandkids at school and daycare so they had supper with us.

Saturday was a nice day so some housechores in the am and some garage sales in our small village.  Afternoon spent outside prepping gazebo for summer.  Evening hockey game.

Sunday routine and relaxing.  Went out for pizza for supper with sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

  3. Good morning, 5 o'clock is very early... but nice, I think.
    Furthermore, I wish you lots of strength; I read that it is not easy at all.

    Kind regards
