Happy Homemaker 2021-11-08

Good morning

It was another week of feeling crummy with the cold and then 2 days with a red-inflammed eye.  It looks better today and cold is starting to be better too.  Grandkids are both feeling better even though no one is 100%.  They will both be able to go to daycare this week.

DH worked on the outside to be ready for winter.   Xavier arrived for supper on Saturday and left after supper on Sunday.  Anne-E and the kids came for supper on Sunday.  We ordered pizza.

Fall decor came down on Sunday.  Now it's time to 'winterize' the decor.

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

On my mind

Upcoming Holidays and what we will be allowed to do with Covid-19

I need to get back in shape and healthy for the Holidays.  I have let things go since Covid (been sick quite alot) but have to get back on the ball.
