It's Tuesday afternoon, and I'm back with a 'Mornings with Me! post. 'Mornings with Me' post are simply posts where I share what the morning of said day looked like ... homemaking my way, if you will.
So, what did my morning look like?
It started off with my morning routine and chores. You know those chores have to be done, whether we want to or not.
This morning was my weekly Bible study class with a local friend that we meet online and do. But before it was time to begin, I did get this little item on my 'to-do' list started ...
For those of you who have been long time followers, do you remember Prudence?
Prudence is my 'years' old sourdough starter that I wake up and use for a while, then put back to sleep until I want to use her again. I've literally been doing sourdough this way for years.
With the holidays approaching and gift giving season shortly to be upon us, I need to get Prudence working again to make holiday goodies.
That's what I did this morning, I got all my supplies out and set them on the counter, enjoyed my Bible study class, and then picked back up with Prudence once it was over.
She looketh well to the ways of her household … Proverbs 31:27

We got up to a French toast .casserole that I had prepped yesterday. I had taken my bag of homemade bread crusts out of the freezer to make croutons. There were some really thick pieces so I cubed those up for the casserole. I also have two quarts of croutons. One quart is vacuum sealed to keep for after the first one is gone.
ReplyDeleteI sent a text to the church staff member who cares for the elderly in our church asked mg if she knew of any church members we could hire to help us . She called me within a few minutes and asked what we needed done and said a team of men at church are helping church members who need help. They can do everything we need except grind stumps. She even offered to send someone to clean our house inside! This is our church! So blessed.
Shortly after someone we had contacted about the stumps called to say he could do the work. Things look ok so much better now that we have help on the way!
Praying that Hurricane Milton loss it's strength.
Lana, I'm so happy that things are coming together and that the kind of help you need is being provided. May God be glorified in all that we do!
DeleteGood afternoon! My morning began with a cup of coffee and my devotional, followed by text messages to a family member and a good friend, both in FL and in the direct path of Milton. I received a call-back from my family member, letting me know that they'd evacuated to the east coast; my long-time friend is "staying put" so they are at the top of my prayer list right now (along with prayers for all who are unable or unwilling to evacuate). Another friend's husband was booked on a flight out today, but I just leaned his flight was cancelled, so he's staying through it, too. Their winter home is in a fairly new condo building and should withstand the winds; they are in an area where flooding / storm surge should not be an issue. This was followed by a call to sort out some issues with a retirement fund, and then I spent an hour walking with a friend. Came home and the carpet cleaners came to pick up an area rug for deep cleaning. I've had the rug ever since I moved here 8 years ago and they've always cleaned it here; today it went out for deep cleaning. They'll be back on Sat. AM to clean the wall-to-wall carpet in my office area, on the stairs, and the master bedroom carpet. Tackled more household chores in the afternoon, and am settling down to do some reading this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteLori, you had a packed day ... but doesn't it feel nice to get things accomplished! We too are praying for all in the path of Hurricane Milton while keeping an eye out to make sure it stays on the path it is following. Hurricanes are notorious for changing courses at the last minute, so we watch and prepare and pray for all who is in its path, regardless of the path it takes.
