Outside my window . . . is sunshine after a night and morning of harsh winds and rain as well as one of the chickens who jumped up on the grill to peer in the window at me.
I am thinking . . . that I'm glad I took my step-mom to lunch this afternoon for her birthday. It was good to get to know her a little better. I'm realizing more and more how very little I really know my loved ones and those closest to me. I want to be intentional about finding out who they really are.
I am snacking on . . . Lemon Tea Cookies & Vanilla Black Hot Tea!
I am hearing . . . Caleb hammering on something in their clubhouse, the washing machine rinsing and one of the "Lord of the Rings" movies playing upstairs.
I am thankful for . . . happy, healthy, and creative sons. I was thinking on the way home from lunch how thankful I am that the boys are walking in the ways of the Lord. What joy and peace there is in walking the age-old paths of wisdom that God has set in place and that are still so relevant for today.
From the kitchen . . . chicken spaghetti and sugar peas for supper.
Around the house . . . the laundry needs finished, the schoolroom needs dusted and vacuumed, and shopping for Ben's birthday dinner tomorrow night will take place tonight once M. is home.
This week . . . is a busy one. Tomorrow afternoon I'll take Ben for his driver's permit, Wednesday afternoon we're helping Mom move some things around at her vintage shop in a local antiques mall, and Friday during the day we'll prepare for Ben's 16th birthday party that night with his cousins.
Some of my favorite things . . . warm and classic sweaters, library books and the anticipation of good things.

I enjoyed reading your nice post. You're really on to something there about getting to know the people closest to you. They're the easiest to take for granted it seems.
---Sounds like you have a busy, but fun week ahead.
Thanks for sharing.
