Quote of the Day; "It is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics when women of high thoughs and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts while so occupied." -Nathaniel Hawthorne (Amen to that!)
Things are going on in the usual manner for us, which is nice. For the most part things are great, with a few minor issues: we are missing one hen from our flock, who just vanished into thin air one day last week. Also, we have a new mailman who can't get the correct mail in the mailbox! He's a nice enough guy, (I spoke to him while he was buy delivering us someone else's packages) so I feel kind of bad about complaining, but... well, I'd like to get my own mail. Although we received a neighbor's racy Fredericks of Hollywood catalog yesterday, and my husband and I had a good laugh while we looked through it. (Give me a flannel nightgown anyday: those poor women look so UNCOMFORTABLE!) I feel bad for our neighbor, though, if she knew we were reading her catalog and laughing, she'd probably be mortified...
On a more serious note, my uncle is scheduled to have open heart surgery today. It sounds like a horrible ordeal, and our family's prayers are with him! |
