Easy. Done.

To fold 40 pieces of clothes everyday.
Done. Most days this is done. Everything goes well in this departement.

Put away those folded clothes everyday too.

Well. Not everyday but a lot of it has been done. I'm quite happy.

Declutter the Laundryroom, everyday a little bit.
Still loads to do but in the overall, it improved so much.

Pray the Rosary everyday.
Better and better.

Conclusion:

I improved quite a lot.

Well done, girl.

For more imformation on this go to Her Southern Charm.

Palm Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday. Here we call it Branches Sunday because we don't use only palm, also olive tree branches and rosemary.
In the procession, they are blessed with Holy Water and everybody carries his branch in rememberence of the reception Jesus had when he entered Jerusalem.
Today begins the most important week in all the year: Holly Week.
It's the last week of Lent.
Easter is almost here.
Praise Our Lord.

Friday Show and Tell

In this place I live, we have a lot of historic sites so, last saturday, there they came from UK a bunch of mayors to visit.
My husband was invited for the occasion and, in the end,they gave to some people a beautiful golden box as a souvenir.

When my husband opened his, look what he found.

I was very pleased. Isn't that beautiful.?

No, the soap was not included. As it is one of my husnad favorite soaps, each time we go to England I buy several.



For todays Show and Tell Friday at There's No Place Like Home.

The Smallest Blessings

At Her Southern Charm there's a new idea: to post about The Smallest Blessing we have in our life.

So I thought that one of them is my silver strings of hair.
Most women want to dye their hair since the first grey hair appear. Not me. I don't even try to conceal my age.
And I like my grey hair.
I thank God for them, for what they mean: a life fool of blessings.

PS: to be honest, I must say, only my front hair is full of grey, in the back is quite dark, still. So the silver is just beginning.

Outdoor Wednesday

Today is Outdoor Wednesday Day at A Southern Daydreamer.

Today I'll show you some pictures of a foggy and rainy day at a garden in Sintra. A very romantic one and historic also. It was built in the XIX century and it's called Monserrate.























This place is too beautiful to show just some pictures. I will post more next wednesday.

Cleaning the frige

Today I will clean the kitchen and between the chores I have to do, I will clean the frige.
It need not only a bit of cleaning but also declutering.

It will be a busy day.

And after that, I will make some soup.

Type A or B ?

Results of Your Personality Test

Personality Type
Your score = 47

What does your score mean?

You seem to be in the middle between the Type A and Type B personality. In this case, the middle ground is good. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind and you know how and when to relax. Nonetheless, you realize that picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life. The equilibrium is important, so don't let your hostile, aggressive, and competitive alter ego take over too often. Generally, you are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. Yours is a very healthy attitude towards life.
