Yesterday was a moderately successful day. I gave the younger five their choice of books and they chose Island of the Blue Dolphins. We read two chapters and I was surprised that even the youngest two sat very quietly and listened. Some workbooks were done, but not all I am moderately happy with the learning that was done yesterday. We read scriptures together. In fact, I also read them alone and later with my husband. That gives me a great sense of security and peace, like a warm blanket being wrapped around me. Chores were done, and the house is reasonable right now. The missionaries came over last night, and they were great company. Very nice young men who were a pleasure to talk to. And they shared some scriptures with us before they left........yet more warmth. For dinner, I made pepper steak, usually one of my best things. I have an unusual recipe, with a great broth of tomatoes, molasses and soy sauce. Yesterday, after I started it, I ran to the store for a couple more things, and it burned! Just a little, it tasted smoky. Thankfully I had a back up dish, a new one which I normally would not do for company but it worked, thankfully with the "smoky" pepper steak. Spicy green beans with pork, a Chinese stir fry. All of that with jasmine rice and corn muffins. And Sara Lee pies for desert, lol. It felt like a success and I needed that. Today, I am headed to Denver for the morning/afternoon, to go to the temple with some other women from my church. I am so looking forward to the peace and feeling of sanctuary in that place. I have given all the children their jobs and assigned each teenager to be a mentor to one of the younger ones. The plan is in place, it should all be smooth, I guess we will see this afternoon when I get home! lol |
