Looking out from my back porch... calm and sunny with bright blue skies.
I am thinking about… how much needs to get done in the next couple hours and an upcoming visit with a friend.
I am thankful for... being able to celebrate my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. They didn’t want a big hoopla, and all of us kids understand and are following their wishes … but in my heart I am so very thankful and want to shout to the world that they are a wonderful example of what it means to be in a sacramental marriage.
I am reading… Ha! I’m still reading ‘Haystack Full of Needles’ and the rest of my stack.
I am hoping... for a beautiful weekend and that includes a bit of rain, please.
I am hearing... Eric talking to Louis as he changes him for the second time in just 15 minutes!
I am wearing…beige capris and a salmon/melon colored t-shirt
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… well, thankfully it’s clean and emptied of clean clothes … I will post pics of the projects later (hopefully ‘later’ will afford me more time than this week).
From the garden … I harvested my first cucumber this past week. My MIL gave me the two she harvested and I made cucumber salad.
From the school room... Yeah! I was finally able to get last years books and files put away/sorted and bring out the stacks for the coming year. Still need to acquire Latin for Greg … I’m still praying for confirmation.
From the kitchen... we have so been enjoying fresh eggs for breakfast.
State of the house… the kids were at VBS up at my parents’ parish this week, so I started upstairs and then went to the basement. The bathrooms weren’t done and neither was the middle of the house, but I’d say it’s a fair bit cleaner than last week.
A successful moment… Louis made it up two steps, stood up on the stair and held onto the railings … the successful moment was that he was able to stay there until his mother realized that he was in trouble and needed help! Did he ever cling to my neck when I rescued him…
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Celebrating the 35th anniversary of Miller Grain Cleaning, the mobile grain-cleaning business my Dad started. Celebrating my parents’ (Grandma & Grandpa Golden Acres’) 40th wedding anniversary. Seeing the oldest four kids after they’ve been gone for almost a week …
A picture memory... I’m leaving you with this picture from July 2009. The sky is stunningly beautiful. Almost makes we wish the trees wouldn’t ‘grow up’ … they’re at least twice the size this year.
