FOR TODAY
Outside my window... It's hot. I feel fall but San Diego does not. It must be the daylight or the suns place in the sky that makes it feel like fall. I am missing fall colored leaves and apple picking.
I am thinking... Thinking about my cruise. About 4 weeks away now!
I am thankful... I am thankful that the Lord provides over and above what I could ask or think. It is because we are good stewards with what God has given us that we are able to go on this cruise. Or buy another car. Or have all the 'nice' things we have.
In the kitchen... I am craving all those colder weather comfort foods. Casseroles, roasted chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, soup, clam chowder, fresh baked bread. . .ahhhh
I am wearing...felling a bit fat and frumpy lately. I painted my fingers and toes hoping to boost my spirit.
(ha-ha-ha)
I have been shopping E-Bay to purchase a few dresses for my cruise.
I am creating... My granddaughter turns ONE in a few weeks. I did a bit of sewing for her birthday.
I also survived making my first fresh floral arrangement for a wedding. I thought the flowers turned out very well. They almost paled in comparison to the beautiful bride.
(This is the look I was going for)
(and how they turned out)
My garden needs lots of work. Next week I vowed to take a few days and rip out old growth, till in some fertilizer, compost and diatomaceous earth into my garden boxes. My WONDERFUL husband offered to make me a greenhouse type cover for tomatoes if I wanted to grow them over the winter. Well, Yes I think I will!
I am going...To the Panama Canal baby!!
I am praying... I am praying for my Uncle Curt... for his health. For his testimony. For folks to see Jesus through him and my Aunt Denny. I am praying for far away family. For wisdom for the future.
I am reading... I have been reading several mystery books by the author M.C. Beaton. Of course no library I visit carries any series of books in the order in which they are written. She writes fairly decent and I am enjoying the books.
I am looking forward to... Cooler weather...
From the learning rooms... My student is back at his studies. Today is day 2. Is it bad that I don't have a picture of him holding his grade level sign on his first day? We are using the same curriculum, Landmark Freedom Baptist. I changed this year a bit. We are doing 5th grade Math and English and 6th grade History and Science. Our Literature studies will be book reading and book reports and several studies on poetry. I am calling him a 6th grader to fit in with other kids his age. I figure it's not too big of a deal if he was already testing at 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels TWO years ago.
Around the house... The house is quiet and warm. I have not turned on the AC today. It is fairly clean. Maybe a bit dusty. I cleaned toilets and sinks in the bathroom today.
I am thinking...I have another blog post on causing a brother to offend (sin). Basically about your testimony and how it affects others.
A peek at recent happenings...A friend at church needed a haircut and couldn't afford the $30.00+ price tag. I hinted that I cut hair and would be willing to chop hers for free. She jumped at the chance to have me whack her hair off. We had tea before the endeavor!
Some folks we met along the way... Stephanie, Patrick, Titus, Annabelle and Kaylyn.
Until next time~ Be Blessed!
You found such cute dresses for your cruise! Love them all. I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteYou're obviously a very gifted woman, able to do so many different things.
I remember how confusing it would be to tell people what grade my children were in when I homeschooled. It might be a different level for each subject. ha. So I'd usually just say what it was "supposed" to be. That's really all people want to know anyway, I suppose. Visiting from the Daybook linky. Thanks for sharing so many great pics too!
