The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window . . . the huge pine trees beside the house look so pretty with their lime-tipped branches of new growth.

I am thinking . . . that it is good to sit down. Supper is over and the dishes are done, all the laundry is finished and put away, M.'s lunch and tomorrow night's supper are planned. Today we helped my mom at her vintage clothing and jewelry stand and went bowling. Now to post, jot down some ideas for future games and holiday ideas, and then watch an old Perry Mason episode before bed.

I am remembering . . . the fun evening we had Friday night with M.'s sister and her family. Ang made us a lasagna supper and then she and I took a walk around town - looking at the beautiful homes and churches and popping into a gift shop. Back for Chocolate Picnic Cake and a cup of tea and then we took turns guessing the silly clues from the game "Mad Gab."

I am praying . . . about a situation in which I don't know what or how to pray. I don't know what God is doing or what He has in mind with this. I've got a knot in my stomach and when I try to pray, I don't know what to say. Times like this makes me glad that the Spirit is interceding for me.

I am hearing . . . Caleb behind me working on a project for his grandmother - making jewelry stands for her shop.

I am thankful . . . for air conditioners, ears that can hear the birds singing and a body that gets me where I need to go.

I have been studying . . . Psalm 34, the book of I Peter, and Deuteronomy 22:5.

From the kitchen . . . Baked Haddock, Green Beans and Triple Chunk Brownies.

This week . . . a doctor appointment for E., Caleb's standardized test, and the homeschool curriculum fair.

A few of my favorite things . . . fresh-baked cookies, sitting at the patio table eating breakfast, and blackberry-apple jam (a gift from my sister for keeping her babies overnight).
