Monday Meanderings and Menu Plan
Hosted by My Cup Runneth Over
1. Bibles Study/Devotions
I started on “Power Prayers for Your Mighty Man“ last week and will continue doing that this week. I’d like to set aside one evening a week to sit down and do this. I am also going to join in on the study held at My Cup Runneth Over of Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit by Terri Maxwell
2. Must Do
· Put bulk flour and sugar, etc, in plastic containers to keep out bugs and nasties
· plant strawberry plants, rosemary and other seedlings
· continue to tidy up front porch
· continue to prune creepers around front porch (oh, this is a big job!)
3. In the Home
Last week I wanted to spend time in the boys’ room. We made a very good start, but are not finished. We sorted and tidied up all the books on the bookshelf. We pulled the bunks apart and took them out because Matt is now too big to go in the bottom bunk - he always bumps his head! We then dragged two more beds out of the shed - one really high bed that my Dad made Dan years ago, and another small bed that used to be mine. We’ve almost finished putting them together. So… I want to continue with their room this week. Finish the beds, rearrange the furniture, and bring some things back in from the shed.
4. School
We’re starting on the Olympics this week. I’ll be posting a bit more on what we are doing with that later in the week. There are some great free resources out there on the net.

Oh my goodness, Joy, have you a got a busy day planned! Today I am putting up beans and tutoring a little girl this afternoon. Of course, there is the normal Monday morning chaos to sort through. But, thankfully we are on a school break this week. Our black-eyed peas should come in this week and that will be a lot of work, but they are so yummy they are worth it!

Sounds like your week is off to a great start. I hope you get all of your list accomplished with as little stress as possible.

My Abbie is a real doll. I’m glad to hear that it is a whole week, not a day! You would really be a Wonder Woman then. Black-eyed peas are little while peas with black dots in the middle. They come in long pods and you have to shell them to get the peas out. I cook mine, in water, until almost done and then freeze them. I can then just thaw them out and finish cooking them. When you cook them they turn brown. They are very easy to grow and grow in a low bush. We like to eat them over rice with salsa on the top. They are very good with cornbread too (probably the most popular way to eat them in the South). Some people can their peas, but they are good frozen and it is a lot easier that way.
