Simple Woman's Daybook...

FOR TODAY... February 9, 2009


Outside my window...
the sun is brightly shining...
warmer temps are forecasted (60s!)


I am thinking...
"to stay at home is best" ~ Longfellow


I am thankful for...
the Lord's Day! I just love being in His house
with His people, hearing His Truths!


From the learning rooms...
continuing with consistency in Bible reading (Proverbs study),
beginning Ancient Egypt in History,
studying South Korea for geography/missions,
and learning our other, unnamed subjects. ;o)


From the kitchen...
it needs a little blessing from the weekend
but I was able to clean the top of the fridge
(a sorely neglected surface)
On the fridge menu:
M ~ wet burritos
T ~ stuffed shells/garlic bread
W ~ ground turkey, rice, and green bean casserole
Th ~ italian chicken
F ~ sourdough pizza


I am wearing...
tan regency gown


I am creating...
the regency pelisse I began a couple of weeks ago


I am reading...
Exodus, Psalm, and Matthew {KJB},
Boyhood and Beyond, and Never Alone by John R. Rice


I am hoping ...
the Bosch mixer I was able to order (!) arrives soon Ü


I am hearing...
the heater blowing and sounds of breathing from the monitors,
as everyone is still sleeping in


Around the house...
all is pretty well, after blessing the home over the weekend,
but touch-ups are needed


One of my favorite things...
singing praises to the Lord


A few plans for the rest of the week...
enjoy being at home most of the week,
with the exception of getting out for piano that Ally teaches
and our midweek service at church;
plan to focus on our home learning
and, if the weather is nice, perhaps we'll go to the beach. ;o)


Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Wrapping up our study of China, the children enjoyed
Chinese food art with friends.


"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation. Selah."
~ Psalm 68:19
