For Today...
Outside my window...grey & over-cast. A cold front moving in after our 2nd Indian Summer. But that's OK...it's fall, after all. :-)
I am thinking...that I need to get ready to leave. My DD#2 & I are going to lunch w/my mom.
I am thankful for...still having a warm house, cars & not missing a meal during my DH's layoff.
From the kitchen...lunch out w/my mom this afternoon; possibly pasta & sauce for supper.
I am wearing...jeans, & a red, pink & white shirt.
I am reading...sermon notes.
I am hoping...things will go well w/my mom while we're out. She's not a happy woman & it can wear on us.
I am creating...a peaceful home.
I am hearing...radio, DD#2 in the shower, a neighbor's leave blower.
Around the house...laundry, dusting, running sweeper, dust-mopping kitchen & bathrooms.
One of my favorite things...a hot mug of Hazelnut or Vanilla Biscotti coffee on a cold, dark morning.
A few plans for the rest of the week...household chores, taking DD#2 to/from work, praying for miracles.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
This is the Collins Schoolhouse in 1854. This was a working schoolhouse until the 1940's. The family who now owns it has hired 2-3 retired teachers who now 'teach school' for school & homeschool field trips; an entire day just like in the 1800's. When our girls were little you homeschool group went there - it was great - the kids dressed up, took lunches in a pail or basket, they drank from the well, played old-fashioned games, the school was heated by the Franklin stove, they worked from McGuffey Readers on their slates, make bookmarks. This was also a year when we were working through "The Priarie Primer" unit study, so it was awesome!
