My Simple Woman’s Daybook for today!

For today… Monday, August 25th, 2008.

Outside My Window… I can see the tree in the back field swaying in the wind. All is sunny outside.

I am thinking… that I need to get my Bible Reading Challenge post done for today… anyone still want to join? :)

I am thankful… the sunshine

From the kitchen… bagels…

I am wearing...a green different coloured skirt, a white youth soccer ball shirt, and am barefoot.

I am creating… Nothing at the present, maybe a clean house! :D

I am going… finish my Bible Reading Challenge post for today when I am done with this one.

I am reading… Still reading The Old Country by Sholom Aleichem. It’s the book that the great musical The Fiddler On The Roof was based off of. Pretty neat stories. Check it out! And I will also be reading Enoch Roden’s Training for the HSB Literary Club. I am also reading the Journeys Of Faithfulness by Sarah Clarkson, which I will be reviewing for Growing In Grace. Very good book!

I am hoping…to get everything cleaned up in a timely manner.

I am hearing… the kids outside in the alligator pool playing.

Around the house… Since all the kids are outside and Lu’s with Mom, I am not hearing any noise except for the clacking of the keyboard on which I type.

One of my favorite things…is to read God’s Word, and get closer to Him.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Well, I’ll write what I plan to do for today -clean up the house, make something sweet, maybe some chocolate chip cookies, get back to writing my pioneer book that I started two years ago and never finished, and check on the baby goats.

Here is picture thought I am sharing…

I thought this was a fun picture. I took it, looking up into our big maple in the front yard.

I have a feeling people just don't check my blog any more, because I don't write that offten! I am going to work on that!

We started school on Monday, it is a rather bitter sweet year for me. I am kind of sad when I think about how next year I will not be doing any school at home. I can honestly say I am not that excited to be done. It will be very neat though, because I will be able to help my mom a lot more. Doing lesson plans, and teaching the little girls. I want to be my mothers right hand, have things done that she would have never even thought about. (wish me luck with this because my mother is beyond amazing)

I was so glad to come home, but the most exciting part was seeing Nathan. (Sadly he is on Vk with his family this week) He came over and brought me beautiful roses! We went to dinner and then hung out at his house. His older sister is expecting a little girl any day. She is really excited. His other sister just went off to her second year of collage.

Home is where I long to be, there is no other place on earth that makes me so happy.

My Simple Woman's Daybook for today!

For today… Monday, August 18th, 2008.

Outside My Window… I can see the back field... that is now all mowed down and the wildflowers are GONE. :( 

I am thinking… about how I only have two more articles to write for Growing In Grace Magazine for the September Issue... I got two done in two days! A World Record! lol 

I am thankful… the beautiful blue sky outside that is such a pretty blue.

From the kitchen… I'm making a potato, carrot, bacon, and green bean soup with onions and spices! Can't wait to eat some. :) Anybody else want any? There's plenty!

I am wearing... Blue teddy bear-cloud pj pants, yellow shirt with flowerpots on it, bear feet, and my hair is up in a ponytail.

I am creating… A little book for my Bible Study Notes. It's a really cute thing. Jocelyn found it online. She will be giving a little cute journal she made on her blog here pretty soon, so keep checking it out. 

I am going… go eat some delicious soup after I am finished with this post. :)

I am reading… The Old Country by Sholom Aleichem. It's the book that the great musical The Fiddler On The Roof was based off of. Pretty neat stories. Check it out! And I will also be reading Enoch Roden's Training for the HSB Literary Club.

I am hoping… to work on my story some more today. By the way, thank you for all your suggestions... I'm still lost at picking a name! Got any more?

I am hearing… the rattle of spoons while the soup is being given out, and Caleb (2yo) looking at a book behind me.

Around the house… Everyone is getting ready to eat. Luli isn't feeling very good today. Isaac didn't fell very good last night either. Please pray for them.

One of my favorite things… is to bake something sweet, like cookies, or brownies, or a cake. I love trying something new in the kitchen. Does anyone have any recipes I can try?

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Well, I'll write what I plan to do for today - make some stationary, clean up the house, make something sweet, maybe some chocolate chip cookies, write more of my book, (I should say books!), and check on the baby goats.

Here is picture thought I am sharing…
This is Mr. Bennet, Jocelyn's Rhode Island Red rooster. He is one of the nicer roosters, and is very big! But he is the 'head of the henhouse'.

For today... Monday, August 11th, 2008.

Outside My Window... I can see the dewy fog being spotted on the grass as the sun is coming up. The grass in front of the barn looks like it snowed in front of it, because it is so white. And I can see Charcoal (our cat) sitting on the porch in front of the big window.

I am thinking... about a story I made up last night and how I want to write it down. And that I don't have a name for the main character in it! Got any suggestions? :)

I am thankful... beautiful morning that God has given me today. I don't think I will forget this wonderfully beautiful morning!

From the kitchen... cinnamon rolls! I plan to make some today... I made some a few days ago, but of course, they are gone now!

I am wearing... penguin pajama pants, a yellow shirt, my red sweater, my robe, and a pair of socks.

I am creating... a story today. Just a story. (and if I received a return letter, I will be writing another one back to whomever sent it.)

I am going... to be thinking a lot today, and probably cleaning a lot too!

I am reading... Millie's Unsettled Season, published by A Life Of Faith, based on the Martha Finley Series. I am reading it to review it for Growing In Grace Magazine.

I am hoping... that I can behave better than I did yesterday.

I am hearing... the birds' singing their early morning songs as the sun is coming up. There are many different ones, but I could not describe nor tell you what birds they were. 

Around the house... No one is up but me, so it's quiet. Dad left for work about 5minutes ago, so I am alone now.

One of my favorite things... is to sit and write a story and imagine I am in the story.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Ooh.... I *want* to weed the garden, go on a bike ride, make some cinnamon rolls, write my story, journal, clean (of course), cook something today, read my book. (Not really for the rest of the week, but I am taking it one day at a time!)

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
Here is four pictures of the doe goat that I put together. I thought I would just give you a combination of them all! Left to right, top to bottom - Belladonna (my goat), Keci (Hannah's goat), Keci, Chloe and Eamena, (Chloe and Eamena are Jocelyn's), and they are there with Caleb, but Bella is there instead of Keci. He is feeding the, apples! :)

(They finnished the ship made from the world trade center! Her logo is "Never Forget" sadly I think they will, as they slip away from God history is rewritten every day)

Hi everyone!

I know it has been a while! (again) Right now I am in Navada. We are leaving on the 13 to go meet my family. I am so excited, because I miss my darling sisters more than I can explain. I can't wait to get home and see Nathan.

I have had a good time with my grandparents (as I do love to be spoiled) They have taken me to some pretty cool places. I went to a car show called Hot August Nights! I have a new found love for old cars! They were very cool. We also went to Vergina City, we took a ride on an old steam engian train and I fell in love with the view. I think that seeing the mountians in that way gave me that joy you feel when you just want to jump up and thank the Lord. He was so good to give us so many good things to look at when creating the world.

My grandpa has also taken the time to show me my family tree. This summer I have learned a lot about my family's history. My Auint Sylvia shared a lot of wonderful stories with me, and I can't wait to get home and tell them to you. I am sure you will be just as happy to see God's hand in delivering so many people as I was am.

I have ton's of pictures to show everyone when I get home, but I forgot my cord!
