Simple Pleasures . . .


* walking down the road yesterday afternoon to the neighbors to deliver their eggs and staying to visit a bit

* being inspired by "Aunt Bee" to make a two-layer cake for supper last night - yellow with vanilla frosting

* the fun of going through catalogs and books to choose what the boys will study next year

* finding out this morning that Mama & Papa Goose have three goslings down by the pond

* taking the boys bowling this morning during Senior Citizen League Time

* watching the older boys and two of their cousins working on a homemade cotton gin every afternoon

* anticipating making a pretty gift box for my cousin's baby shower this weekend

* having a nephew for a taco supper last evening

* read-aloud time every weekday morning with the boys since they were just little things - how many sweet memories I have of this time with boys and books

* having a son receive correction with humility

* surveying the gardens this afternoon to find the onions, potatoes and carrots doing well

* looking forward to homemade jam from the thousands of little strawberries hanging on the plants

* anticipating an evening of supper and games with friends - there's a Chocolate Picnic Cake in the oven right now
