The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY...Wednesday, February 23,2011

Outside my window...It is a beautiful, bright clear day.  The

sky is totally clear of clouds and the sun reflecting on the snow

makes everything seem even brighter!  The temperature

is nearing 40F.  It's hard to think that come Friday we are

going to get another big snowstorm.  So, we'll just have

to enjoy this beautiful day!

I am thinking...How quickly the years have passed.  It is

hard to believe my daughter will be 32 on Sunday.

 

I am thankful for...Young men in our neighborhood who

have taken it upon themselves to shovel sidewalks and

driveways as a service project when we get a snowstorm.
They are the best!

A thought I am sharing..."The qualities that make us all
different--are the qualities that make us all special."

From the kitchen...Nothing right now.  Should be thinking

about something for dinner.  Maybe Taco Soup!

I am wearing...Levi's, t-shirt and 3/4 length jacket.

I am creating... A file on my business I had years ago. 

I've been digging through boxes and files trying to gather
information so I can write a history.  Have found most all
my old catalogs and pictures.  Was so excited to find a file
on "Westream"--a business in Japan who represented me
for several years. Even found a couple of their old
catalogs.

I am going...Shopping with my daughter when Ty wakes

up from his nap. 

I am reading..."A World Away" by Anna Jones

I am hoping...To finish my daughter's birthday present

today or tomorrow.

I am hearing...The washer spinning downstairs, some little

birds out on my patio.

Around the house...Wash waiting to go in the dryer, 

"March" stitchery waiting to be finished.

One of my favorite things..Chinese Food. 

A few plans for the rest of the week:

Shopping with my daughter today

Start organizing what I have collected on my business

Haircut on Friday

Birthday dinner on Saturday for my daughter

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
Wasatch Mountain State Park.  We used to picnic
here at the "warm springs" when I was a little girl
before the area was developed and became a state park.
Also went on a lot of deer hunting expeditions with my
dad through these mountains.  He taught me to love
and respect these mountains.  My friends and I
used to pile in our jeep and drive up Pine Creek Canyon
and over to Brighton during the summer.

Well the day has passed and I'm just finishing this up.
Guess it's time to go fix dinner.
