The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window . . . 30+ inches of snow still lying around looking lovely.

I am remembering . . . the great weekend we had once again - watching the Olympics, making Valentines, receiving Valentines, watching the cousins sled all Sunday afternoon, a nice Sweetheart Banquet, and lots of home-baked goodies.

I am thankful . . . for love that covers a multitude of sins.

I've been praying . . . that God would continue to open my eyes to my need to be continually broken and humble before Him. What things I'm seeing about myself that I've never seen before!! Stretching, convicting, painful but freeing.

I am going . . . to the local auction house with the boys after lunch. My mom called to say there are boxes of material and rick-rack that are right up my alley!

On the record player . . . "Berlin by Lombardo" - great orchestral versions of a variety of Irving Berlin's songs from classic movies

From the kitchen . . . beef pot-pie for supper (I owe Caleb a batch of it to make up for the awful stuff I made for his birthday dinner when I switched powdered sugar for flour!)

From the schoolroom . . . Eli is waiting for his order of library books on muskox for his next report, Caleb is plunged into integers and rational numbers, and Ben is really enjoying a book on how Ancient Rome affects us today.

I've been watching . . . the extended version of "The Return of the King" that my sister loaned us.

Around the house . . . laundry, a little crafting and figuring out what new recipe to try next.

This week . . . I'll be helping my mother-in-law show residents of a nursing home how to make candy, taking a trip to another local thrift shop that's got a 50%-off-the-whole-store sale going on, and getting out for some groceries to replenish my supplies after these snowstorms.

A few of my favorite things . . . rick-rack, chocolate chip bars and fresh, farm eggs.
