so I hope you get this. Thanks for stopping by and visiting.
Let me know if and what fun things you found on "Bird Brain
Designs."
For Today: Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Outside my window... The wind is beginning to pick
up. We are supposed to get strong winds today blowing
in a storm for tonight and the next couple of days.
However, the skies are blue and the sun is shining.
I am thinking... That I should go outside and do a little
more yard work while it is still cool and there is a breeze
to keep me cool.
I am thankful ... That I have the health and strength to
help my son and daughter with their children right now.
I am wearing... Levi cutoff's, tee shirt and flip flops.
I am remembering... How my mother always wished she
lived closer to her two daughters so she could spend time
helping with her grandchildren. How we would have loved
having her close. It wasn't until in her later years that she
was able to be closer and then we included in every way we
could. The grandkids adored their "Grandma Nina".
I am going... To (hopefully) pick up my sewing machine
today. Then I'm off to play with grandchildren again.
I am currently reading... Mary Jane Clarks book,
"It Only Takes a Moment".
I am hoping... We can set up a web cam so I can be part
of my son's wedding half way around the world.
On my mind... Other son's job interview.
Noticing that... My neighbor's magnolia bush is in full
bloom and how beautiful it is.
Pondering these words... "The small and simple things
you choose to do today will be magnified into great and glorious
blessings tomorrow. Living each day as 'an example of the
believers' will help you to be happy and more confident. "

From the kitchen... Breakfast of sliced pears, cheese and
toast.
Around the house... It's very quiet. Clock just chimed
the hour. But with the windows and patio door opened, I'm
hearing the sounds of several different birds and the
neighbors dog barking.
One of my favorite things... Sitting outside on the patio
each morning (on good days) eating my breakfast and reading
for a few minutes.
I am wishing that... That I could be in Taiwan with my
son. But I am excited for him and know that I will be going
to NZ or he and Joann will be here in the fall.
A few plans for the rest of the week...
1. Pick up sewing machine
2. Try to find a few minutes to get sashing and border
on quilt
3. Tend/play with grandchildren. Help daughter.
4. Stitch on gifts for Mother's Day
5. Yard work
From my picture journal...
My cherry bushes in full bloom. They have been so
beautiful this year and the honey bees have been so
very busy. Am hoping that we may get some "little"
cherries this year...that is if we don't get a frost.
(Sorry about the shadow--thought I was out of the way)
Have a wonderful day!

So glad you're able to spend time with your grandchildren. I know I benefited from having my grandparents close by when I was young. I enjoy your picture-- I love the sights of spring!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your daybook today. I especially enjoy the quote you shared in the words you are pondering. That gives me something to pause and think about as I go about the business of the day! Blessing to you.
ReplyDeleteLovely post today, Nola! I enjoyed reading through your "thoughts" very much. Just sent you an e-mail, so this is short but sweet. Like you! (Well, I don't know if you are short or not, but you sure are sweet!) ~karen
