Homemaker's Journal: Monday, October 17, 2016

Last week was a long week. Our town experienced massive flooding from the hurricane. Our home was spared, though others were not so lucky. In the middle of the week, we left for a mini-vacation to the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina. Even though it had been planned in advance, the timing couldn't have been better!

THE WEATHER THIS WEEK...

Current temperature is 64 degrees and the sun is shining. Temperatures this week are warming up again to low 80's. Over night, the temperatures will drop to the 50's and 60's. 

AROUND THE HOME...

The house is tidy, just as we left it before our vacation. Kitchen is cluttered with things leftover from our trip. 

AGENDA FOR TODAY...

We are beginning Week 11 of our homeschool year. We are not up to date on all of our subjects and I am trying to think of ways to get back on track sooner rather than later.

A FAVORITE QUOTE FOR TODAY...

--Vincent van Gogh

ON THE MENU...

Because of the recent hurricane and flooding, many grocery stores in our town are out of items like bread and milk. After our trip, I sent my husband to the store to purchase hamburger buns, and the entire shelf was cleaned out, and this is a week after the hurricane! As a result, dinners this week will have to come from our food storage, which I haven't had the time to go through yet to determine each meal.

Sunday: Leftovers
Monday: Spaghetti
Tuesday: Brunswick Stew
Wednesday: TBD
Thursday: TBD
Friday: TBD
Saturday: TBD

PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...

Nothing special going on. Bridget has dance this week and is looking forward to going, as classes had been cancelled last week.
