Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY - May 4, 2009

I am thinking . . . that I really am trying not to complain about all this rainy weather!

I am thankful for . . . my warm and cozy home that protects me from the elements.

From the learning rooms . . . though "official" schoolwork is done, Eli worked on his blog this morning, Caleb is doing some woodworking and Ben was reading a computer manual earlier this morning.

From the kitchen . . . hot cross muffins for breakfast and ham & bean soup simmering for supper.

I am praying . . . that my new study of Ruth would be fruitful.

I am wearing . . . a black, long-sleeved shirt with jeans.

I am creating . . . embroidered pillowcases.

I am going . . . to the grocery store later for a few items for my luncheon tomorrow.

I am reading . . . "A Gown of Glory" by Agnes Sligh Turnbull and "Breaking Free" by Beth Moore.

I am hearing . . . Ben watching a documentary on WWII aircraft, and Eli listening to "My Side of the Mountain" on cassette tape.

Around the house . . . I'm going to send out my snail-mail newsletters, change the sheets, finish laundry, and renew library books online.

One of my favorite things . . . looking at the calendar and eagerly anticipating all the good things planned with family and friends.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . a luncheon to catch up with a friend, an orthodontist appt. for E., our state's homeschool convention at the end of the week, and dinner with friends on Sunday afternoon.

Here is a picture thought I'm sharing of one of our Muscovy ducks:
