daybook - 2014 edition

Back when I was blogging on a regular basis, I enjoyed doing these weekly peek into my day posts sponsored by The Simple Woman.  Even now, I still use them occasionally in a thankfulness journal that I have kept for several years.  I also use the format to help my children journal sometimes.  With all that said, I still have to admit that I miss doing the daybooks in the blog format, so here I go again.  Besides, maybe it will help be get back into the blogging routine.

For Today ... February 21, 2014

Outside my window ... 

The sun is shining and the skies are a beautiful blue.  

It is cooler today after an unseasonably warm 80 degrees yesterday,

and the puddles give evidence of last night's storm.

I am thinking ... 

about school and our possible move and how to make the two work together.

I am thankful ...

for my wonderful visit with my friend Amy this week!

I am hearing ... 

not much ... the kids are all being very quiet at the moment.

I am creating ...

a crocheted shirt for Lora ~ at least I am trying.  

It is slow going, mainly because I just don't have the time to work on it.

I am going ... 

nowhere that I know of ~ yay!

I am wondering ...

how our meal at church will go Sunday night ... our SS class is hosting!

I am reading ...

mostly with the kids.  

We have been reading some classic stories and we just finished Rip Van Winkle.  

The kids didn't know the story, so that made it more fun for me.  

Today we are going to read The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.  

I am looking forward to ...

getting on with this move and re-establishing normal.

I am learning ...

that you can't run away from hard things ~ some things you just have to face.

From the kitchen ...

I can still smell last night's fried chicken ... yummy!

Around the house ... 

more and more things that I realize must be done!

One of my favorite things ...

peaceful evenings at  home - they are far too rare.

A few plans for the rest of the week ... 

not much left of it, but I will be shopping for the food I am fixing for the meal at church and then our class will get together to get the fellowship hall ready.  Sometime tomorrow we need to buy Daniel new cleats in anticipation of his first baseball practice of the season coming up this Tuesday night.

A peek into my day ...

This is a picture of where we are planning to move ... of course, it doesn't look
exactly like this anymore since this was taken 19 years ago.
I grew up here and I still love it.  So do my kids.

This is a picture of my Mama's Daddy holding me when I was about 2 months old.
He would have been 93 this month.
