The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY ---- Thursday, July 7, 2011

Outside my window...The sky has filled in with
clouds and there is a slight breeze bringing up
the monsoon weather from the South.  It is really
warm and muggy outside and there is a slight chance
we could get a little rain.

I am thinking... of my Grandfather Davis.  Today
is his birthday.  Although he passed away before I was
born I feel a bond with him---maybe because our
birthdays are separated by just a few days or
because Mother shared such wonderful memories of
him with us as we grew up.  He was a very loving
and kind man who became both Father and Mother
to his children after Grandmother passed away.

I am thankful... For wonderful friends.  I have
been blessed throughout my life to have good friends
who have always been there for me through the good,
bad, hard, as well as wonderful times.  Their
influence has played a big part in who I am today.

From the learning rooms...This thought keeps
running through my mind, "To have a friend, you must
be a friend."  I  have learned that it takes work to be a
friend...a good friend.  And, I wonder sometimes if
I am doing  all that I can to be a good friend to those
around  me. I know I can always do better.

In the kitchen...  Just put left overs from lunch
with friends in the fridge.  We tried a new Mexican
restaurant nearby and it is definitely a place I will
be returning to.

I am wearing... Tan capri's, lavender shirt and
flip flops.

I am creating...A brief history of my elementary
school years.  It is something I started several years
ago and need to get finished.

I am going...To have my family here for FHE
this evening.  Planning a Spaghetti dinner, but am
afraid I will be still be too full to enjoy it.

I am wondering...When I am going to get my
"Twinkle, Twinkle" finished.  Just have one more
block to quilt and then figure out what to do on
the border.  Wish I could just sit and quilt all day
but alas my poor arm doesn't like me doing that.

I am reading...Nothing at the moment.   Need a
really good book.

I am hoping...To get my green beans staked up
today.  I planted pole beans due to lack of space
and they really need something to grow up on.

I am looking forward to...A relaxing weekend.

I am hearing...The CD "Dreaming in the Light of
His Love" by James Oneil Miner.


One of my favorite things...Cool, refreshing
fruit smoothies. 

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Work Saturday and possibly Friday if my
job-sharing friend has jury duty.  She'll
know for sure when she calls in this evening.
FHE
House and Yard work
Pretty much the same old things I do every
day.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Block 4 completed.  Added some little egg buttons
to this one.

Make it a good day.
