(Day 29) without Cleo: a clean home and a head cold

I went early (about 9 AM) to our local coffee shop

for some kombucha as we don't get groceries until tomorrow.

My house is clean

(helps that we were gone!) and I did

a few loads of laundry, which is mostly taken care of.

Thankfully I did laundry at my parents house so we had

minimal laundry to do from our trip. 

I had a head cold, not surprising.

I rested a lot today and had lots of ginger tea, chicken soup

(made previously and frozen), and other such things.

Also PB and creamed honey on English Muffins.

So good.  

The next few days will be spent resting and I am thankful.

A fun note is that there is a local auction (online) where my parents live

and we "won" 3 lots of various Delft (made in Holland) pieces for a really good price

and that is fun!  My Dad will pick up the things for us and 

we will see how to get them here in the Spring or later,

depending on what all goes on and if my parents can visit us.

I am thankful for this.

So many struggles I see others going through.

May God have mercy on us and help us!

We bought a lot of Delft back at Christmas

time for Mr. Husband's birthday 

and for the beautification of our home.

We also ordered some online around Christmas time

last year and found some real deals.

My parents brought all of this with them,

and my beloved husband, Mom and Dad all helped

hang these pieces up throughout our home. 

We are so happy with the progress and added beauty!
