If you think I lead an exciting life, you're wrong ;) ... My life is very mundane ... but very fulfilling. Working at home is satisfying and fills my day with meaning. Taking care of my family is THEE most important job I've every had.

You are such a hard worker!
Mrs. Mac,
Your day is busy with all things to take care of your loving family. You know that taking care of family is like having 2 full time jobs.
Onion dill hamburger buns, just looking at them makes me hungry. I've made the buns before but would have never thought about spicing it up with onion and dill together. I could snatch one of those buns on the counter right now and have it with a cup of coffee. I bet I would be in heaven with every bite :-)
I love that you have a fire going outside for cooking campside. I wish we didn't have a burn ban. Have a great evening.
This made me think back to something my neighbor once said to me -- I can't tell ya what I've been doing all day, but I know I don't have time to sit around. So true of all housewives. There are days--literally, where I don't sit down until 6 pm. And then there are days like yesterday---so hot and humid-UGH. I sat around like a slug all day, under the ceiling fan.....
A busy day. I totally agree with you....looking after your family IS the most important thing you can do. How lucky they are with all the things you make from scratch and with love. Hope you have a lovely week. xxoo
What a FINE day you had!
Ours was not a "usual" Saturday (but then again, what's "usual"????)!
The unexpected pleasure was traveling to the home of a former neighbor (about 30 minutes away) and helping her stabilize a gazebo that the storm had taken down a few weeks ago. She was actually wanting help taking it apart, but when my husband saw it, he came up with a way to repair and stabilize it. I think she was a happy camper :)
It felt good to complete this project -- and as a side benefit, I got a tour of her home and garden :)
Onion-dill hamburger buns sound GOOOOD!
Dear Mrs. Mac, you are a clever home maker in so many fields. I think you are living a challenging and fulfilled life where you get to use every talent God have given you, and even develop more.
I also think you must feel kind of happy when the projects you are embarking on are so successful.
I love the header of Mr. Mac.
Still praying for you and esp. for Jacob and Nathan.
Mr Mac
Sounds like a very busy, and fulfilling day and the sourdough bread looks yummy!.
My day yesterday was a little upside down as I was at work doing a 10 hr nightshift, went to bed at 7am Sunday then woke up at 12noon ish. I did nightshift number 2 that night. We did enjoy Sunday 'lunch' before I went to work, a small piece of Rib Beef from our local butcher cooperative, yummy. I will post again with a better day when I am actually awake in the day on a day off and getting some housestuff done. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers and hoping things are getting a little easier.
God bless

I enjoyed having a peek into your day. It's interesting to see how others navigate their days. It sounds like important work to me.
You are such a busy bee! Your family is so blessed to have you taking care of them! I don't think I would be able to stay motivated it I stayed home..but then I would love to have the opportunity to find out. ;)
Your bread looks delicious!
ZZzz, oh excuse me, I got so tired reading about your activity, I nodded off! How do you squeeze so much energy into one day!
Well, as they say down south, Bless your heart...you are amazing!
xoxo
I just happened across your blog this morning and so glad I did.

Enjoyed this sweet peak into your day. You are living a wonderful life fulfilling God's will for you as loving wife, mother, and grandmother. I love taking care of my family too and am really missing both of my big boys these days. Wish they were both still small. I love to clean and keep house but cooking is not my favorite thing.
Blessings~
