Outside my window... the sun is already shining brightly. After near freezing temps for lows this weekend, we are headed for the 90s today. Praise the Lord for air conditioners.
Hearing... birds. I *LOVE* having the windows open this time of day. :)
Pondering... another long day of gadding about.
Praying... for a friend Sara and her family as they had an unexpected death in the family. Long story, but God’s grace is sufficient and evident.
Thankful... our God is good.
Reading...
Bible – Proverbs, Mark
The Black Arrow (RLStevenson) ~ history read aloud {yay, me!}
Living Proof (Jim Peterson) ~ Tim is reading aloud for the kids’ missions trip {really glad Tim is reading it to all of us!}
In the kitchen... Yum, still tasting Sunday’s grilled steaks and turkey tenderloins in my mind. Tonight ~ taco rice casserole. Tomorrow ~ broccoli cheese soup for my girls who will have oral surgery first thing in the morning :p
Last week a friend came over to help us with frozen fruit cups and cream cheese mints.
In the learning rooms... enjoying The Black Arrow, preparing for piano recital, and finishing Greek (Abby). Must update transcripts for our seniors soon –
Creating… Abby decided to make a pair of earrings for a friend who wanted a pair of boots for her birthday :) I didn’t stay up to see the finished product, but the birthday girl loves them!
Around the house... we potentially need an excavator. ahem. Preparing for an open house and welcoming home a college girl make for lots of S.T.U.F.F. under foot…
The Mother Load... and more laundry. Soon, I will catch up the ironing! Famous last words.
Something to remember for later... How our kids enjoy catching up/hanging out with each other especially when one comes home from afar.
A Bible verse...
Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord,
that thou fulfil it. Colossians 4:17
A few plans for the rest of the day/week...
Today – running to multiple towns {good news is that will include picking up an Azure order!}
Tomorrow – wisdom teeth extraction for Kate & Abby :( My plan includes about 24 hours of sleep for them with a happily ever after.
Not attending the state homeschool conference. Oh well.
Saturday – two graduation open houses and a birthday party. Fun!
A peek into my world...
I finally took a tour of the newly fenced orchard on Sunday.
Yes, that’s the Popper in the driver’s seat!
