FOR TODAY  

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

Outside my window...

~ the early morning snow has melted ~ the pasture is looking greener!

~ the guys have worked hard clearing the land that should be our lawn this year  :-)

 

I am thinking...

I need to call Mr. Insurance Agent, whether I want to or not.  Maybe I will shoot him another e-mail? (Okay, done! …and he just called me back.  He was able to date the updated policy back to January!  woot woot!  PTL!)

 

I am thankful …

for the snow ~ Tim seeded the hayfields on Saturday, so the moisture was needed ~ and I can also be thankful it has melted into the ground

for another heifer calf born on the Cattleman’s birthday (Sunday) ~ Taquita (fem. form of taquito? ~ Her mama’s name is Fajita)

 

I am praying for...

... the Rettigs and the church in Prague

… the sale of my mother-in-law’s home

… Amber’s dad

… Diane and family

… Grant S.

… the broken marriages of J & S and R & K

… the W family

… Cinnamon, still missing her deployed hubby (& her son is a US Marine assisting in Japan)

… my dad, scheduled for shoulder surgery next week

… Hiromi, her family, others in Japan

… Amy W. ~ started chemo last Friday

… Marcia R’s mom, Margaret ~ medication decision

… Michelle ~ health need

… Angela & her newborn twins ~ especially Lincoln, who had a very rough delivery and is in NICU

… youth and adults preparing for their mission trip to Brazil

… healthy, live calves

… decisions we need to make

 

From the learning rooms...

We are a bit lethargic today~ too much birthday cake perhaps?

Ancient Rome, library research papers, and more…  I think we are scheduled to hear stories from the speech students on Friday night!  :-)

Thinking about books to order for next year.  Praising the Lord for the ones I’ve found used at the HSLDA Market!

 

From the kitchen...

Options:  beef burritos, turkey taquitos, cheeseburger soup, goulash, VandeKamps  ;-)

I need to bake bread (but I’m sitting here instead ~ lazy day!)

 

I am creating...

I found another “FREE” photo book offer, this time at SmileBooks ~

(http://www.smilebooks.com/)  The hyperlink wouldn’t work –?-

I have not yet ordered the book I worked on at Shutterfly ~ I was hoping Miss Music Box would finish her Prague book first, so I could combine the order… 

 

I am going...

to wear RED tomorrow night to church ~ We are looking forward to seeing the A family in China via skype!  (and looking fwd to seeing them in person here in June!)

 

(Side note:  I was not the patient at the orthodontist last week ~ So far, just Miss MB has braces… and she should be done soon.  I was hoping she’d be done before senior pictures, but alas… not so.)

 

I am reading...

my Bible, Large Family Logistics, The Story of the Romans, and I might start A Cry from the Streets

 

 

I am hoping...

>>  one of the other heifers might adopt Valerie

>>  to get more sleep this week!

 

I am hearing...

the Popper asking for help with spelling as she writes a letter to her cousins

 

Around the house...

I still need to dust, vac, and mop  :p

Yesterday (& the weekend… & last week’s late nights) sorta wore me out!

 

One of my favorite things...

hearing robins and cardinals sing ~ even when it’s freezing!

 

Pondering these words...

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Psalm 19:7-11

 

A few plans for the rest of the week:

my TO DO List and EOM accounting

 

Here is a picture for thought...

Very cheesy (smile & pizza), yes?

 

And the birthday buddies  :-)

(Sunday & Monday)

           

 

Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord,

that thou fulfil it.

Colossians 4:17
