FOR TODAY  

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

Outside my window...

Sunny blue skies with a good breeze a blowing.  

The cattle which I can see are having nap time ~ Aren't they smart?!

I am thinking...
I should shut the windows to keep out the dust from the gravel road, 

but don't you just love the fresh crisp air of fall?

I am thankful for...

...my dad's biopsy(s) came back with very little to concern the docs ~ They will recheck in 3 months

...soybeans are d.o.n.e. 

...swagbucks ~ Looks Sounds like I will be using my accumulated Amazon $$ for a new phone (landline)

...a really nice chat with new friend Kristina K. Sunday evening after church

I am praying for...

... the Rettigs in Prague, their church members, the group from their US sending church, and the many Czech who still need Christ (Praise:  They had 28 visitors attend the first Bible study a week after the Bible Night)

...Mrs. M, who shall be Miss MB's new violin teacher after she recuperates from this week's medical care

From the learning rooms...

Genesis ~ Isaac marries Rebekah

Ur to Egypt in the Trail Guide to Bible Geography

Adam & His Kin ~ Noah and his family are preparing to leave the ark

Elementary anatomy ~ skeletal system

Doctrine of Bibliology, significant figures, chemistry labs 
And the highwayman came riding-- riding-- riding--

Coming up: writing precis, improving conversation in speech class, learning to converse in Spanish

From the kitchen...

Last night's Plan B was wonderful (if I say so myself  =)) ~ leftovers from Sunday like roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, butternut squash
Tonight ~ chicken packets, leftover Oreo cheesecake!
Options for the rest of the week:  spaghetti, egg rolls (ready-made in freezer!), chicken enchiladas, pizza, haystack, southwest stew (oops - that was supposed to be Sunday's dinner to use the zucchini in my fridge)
Today I've baked teacake for tomorrow's breakfast and apple crisp for the field crew (Because when Aunt Karen gives you apples...)

I am creating... 

this daybook post instead of ironing clothes  :o

I am going...

to work at the farm office this afternoon (soon!)  Mission number one: refiling papers that endured a basement flood this summer

I am reading...

I am almost done with Jeremiah!  so I read some in John this morning  ;-)

I am hoping...

the girls and I will be able to finish watching Wives and Daughters tonight... since it got too late last night

I am hearing...

Quiet.  Pencils tapping, pages turning... hmmm, should I be hearing a viola?

Around the house...

yeah, yeah, yeah ~ I know.

One of my favorite things... 

when my husband has time to talk with me  :-)

Pondering these words...

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

John 1:14

A few plans for the rest of the week:

Wed eve ~ church

Thurs morn/evening ~ coop delivery (buying club), chiropractor

Fri ~ piano, groceries

Here is a picture for thought...
