For today, Monday, October 21, 2013
Outside my window... it’s been a sunny but chilly day!
Hearing... the Cattleman informed me that Charlie is out again {a calf with a reputation}
Pondering... why I blog. Among other things.

Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 1 Timothy 5:10

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Psalm 31:19
Praying...
- for friends and family with health needs, especially young Callan & Denise.
- for the P Family awaiting news of visa approval.
- for the Rettigs in Prague ~ an Evening of the Bible planned for Wednesday in Kladno.
- for our college kiddos.
Thankful...
- for answered prayers.
- that Callan’s parents were pleased with doctors they met last week.
- that ‘no news is good news’ about Jon’s survival through the Crucible.
- for the end of the corn harvest ~ soybeans are almost done too.
Creating... an early birthday gift/care package for Abby :-) She broke her purse last month, so when the Cowgirl & I found this one on sale at Kohl’s last week…
Going... to serve leftovers for supper tonight :D
Reading... Psalms, 1&2 Timothy
Looking forward to... another book from the Sister Circle series by V.Bright & N.Moser.
In the kitchen... Hoping my attempt at transplanting some aloe ‘pups’ is successful. {I googled ‘aloe propagation’ after I’d already moved them…}
Menu options: leftover taco meat, chick/veg soup, lasagna; pepper steak; Cajun chicken pasta
And the kids add, “Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!” with Italian gusto.
In the learning rooms... the Cowgirl finished with Physical Science! woot woot! and will be moving on to Chemistry 101
Around the house... Ten Seven buckets of apples waiting in the garage. Gerberas moved back into the house.
The Mother Load...
Noticing that... the “red” trees are coming on strong with their annual color change ~ sorry, no lovely pics available on my camera
Something fun to share... {balloons are always fun!}

A peek into my world...

Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord,
that thou fulfil it. Colossians 4:17
Love those beautiful quilts. They are so comfy aren't they! I love their weight in the winter as it keeps us all warm :-)
ReplyDeleteApples :-) We have a bunch too. I am so excited and can't wait to see them all done in my canning jars!

:) I like the purse selection!!! Think it will be a great care package for her :)
ReplyDeleteAlways fun catching up w/ your family ... at least that is why I ponder about when I think about why my friends should blog!!
Ohhhh, the quilts are lovely. And what a fun idea with the balloons! I wonder how they got them to freeze in a round shape and not squished down (gravity)? Maybe the bottoms are flat? Still, looks very cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd great job on the purse with all the fun goodies inside!

Oh, I've missed stopping by and am always inspired by your posts! You have your work cut out with all those apples. I love the idea with the balloons. How cleaver! Blessings for a great week,
