Happy Homemaker 2026-07-20

Goodmorning 

Regular telework week with Tuesday in town.  so now I'm on vacation and only go back August 5th woohoo.  Nothing planned, will take the days as they come.  

Friday grandkids arrived before lunch (parents went on a trek and restaurant).  After lunch they went to the park with granpa all afternoon while I worked.  After supper some of their friends came to play with them for awhile until we left for the music festival in next town.  Xavier fell asleep on me.  Had a retired cw who showed up at festival and came to sit an chat with us.  They came by our house for a few minutes afterwards so she at least knows where I live.  Grandkids slept over.

Saturday was Xavier's baseball and that took up most of the morning.  Afterwards grandkids left with their parents.  DH made some potato pie in the afternoon but I didn't do much

Sunday was a quiet day.  DH put up track for big frame and bil came to hang up the frame in the evening.  Went to a small market in the afternoon, got some bread.  There was a place I thought was a thrift store but no it was a kind of barter shop.  you bring stuff and you leave with stuff without paying... you don't even need to bring anything you just take what you want.  Got Xavier a bicycle hat and a sweatshirt.  will bring stuff there next time instead of thrift shop.

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

Looking around the house

Big frame is up in LR but now I feel like there is too much stuff in there, will have to put some decor items away.  Lots to be done everywhere,

  1. Good morning Lucie! That barter shop sounds kinda fun and interesting - don't think we have anything like that here. I've been feeling cluttered also and am in the "fall" cleaning mode also! Never knew why they call it spring cleaning as I do it at least 4 times a year seasonally! We are planning on doing our music in the park this week and next for some favorite sounds, but the weeks seems to get so busy I'm just not in the mood by the time it rolls around :) Have a great week. P.S. not sure why, but on your site it keeps changing me to anonymous!

  3. Hello dear Lucie! That different kind of thrift place sounds really cool. You are such wonderfully sweet and supportive grandparents having fun at all the kiddos events. Enjoy your vacation time!! :) 💗

  4. Hi Luludou, what a lovely time again with all your family.
    I hope it turns out to be a good weekend with your sister too, and possibly your brothers as well.
    Nice holiday picture!

  5. Vacation!!!

    Our town also has a give away group online. You just make a photo and put your stuff on there (Facebook), and people can say they want it. I have given away a lot, including magazines. I also found some things there too. It's easy, as it's rather easy to fetch something or plan a meeting place.

    I hope you're going to have the best weekend ever!
