Cleaning Day + Organizing and Planning Breakfast and Dinner




Finally, a bath! Began a new bar of soap, a gift from a 
kind dear local friend!






I am really excited to be planning both breakfast and dinner for 
our goddaughter's Mom and goddaughter! 
I have quite the menu dreamed up, will report back DV later
about the success of it... I am hoping to have a lot of it made a day in advance
so that it is not overly hard to do the day of... 
I have 4 breakfast recipes from Marion Cunningham's book planned 
plus some other things... I want to make basically an amazing breakfast feast!
I love breakfast .... 



I've had a lot of travel and a lot of Mr Husband working late.... 
so I was excited to make this meal for the two of us....
....boiled potatoes, a few coconut scrimp from Trader Joes + their Indian spiced veggie burgers 
with half of an excellent hamburger bun and spinach for our salad! 
I've had 1 meal a day with Mr Husband all week and it's so nice!
***
I am still feeling the loss of my +Aunt Karen; 
I guess I always will, but it is still early days.
***
I ordered some organizational things for our garage freezer, 
which is often a huge mess, and I am so excited to get better
organized... I got a corner shelf for the bathroom too....
coming Friday..... hopefully that will work out well!
***
I feel like I am having some more normal days and they just feel so good.
I did need a short nap late this afternoon though,
whew, cleaning and the like is work and I am still regrouping 
from losing a lot of sleep in Holy Week and the week I was in MI.
But things are slowly taking a new/old form, like a kaleidoscope that
makes new pictures but uses the same pieces...
I guess one of the big pieces for me is cooking and baking 
and planning a dinner party and breakfast too is a real joy....

Am I the only one who doesn't know what DV means?

Hi Nancy, many don't, I wrote a post about this before but am happy to tell you: it means Lord Willing (from Latin) ... see my post here https://eroosje.blogspot.com/2012/02/dv.html and thanks for the visit and comment! you are most welcome here!

It’s short for Deo Volente, Latin for “God willing”.
