Outside my window:Well, our rainiest April ever, is appearing to keep on going into May. Rain, wind, and a few sun breaks. The good news is that our grass is really green!I am thinking: I much I love being a Mimi and Mother. How full and rich my life is because of all of these young souls.
I am listening to: Pandora: Big Band
I am grateful for: A husband that has planned a day to pamper me tomorrow.
I am reading: I just finished Staying At Daisy's this afternoon and I am not really sure what I am going to read next--the list is endless. I think The Summer of the Bear is on the list and Prayers For Sale is also calling my name.
I am photographing: My son Sam went to State Music Contest last weekend, playing his baritone Sax. I took lots of photos--here are my favorites:
I am listing: Nothing~
I am creating: I am still working on a little knitted dress for 2 week old Amelia, and I have yarn all ready to go to make both she and big sissy Adelaide matching vests for the Fall.
To live my faith: Early service tomorrow for church, and then out for a nice lunch.
I am hoping and praying: No one else gets the stomach flu my husband battled most of last week.
Around the house: Eeek! Laundry coming out my ears due to not getting any done last weekend when we were out of town for the music competition.
From the kitchen: I am trying this new recipe next week--looks yummy and cheesey.
One of my favorite things this week: Listening to my boy play music~
The child this week: Getting ready for Jazz concert at school that is quickly approaching, volunteering next weekend at the Post Office where my husband works--helping with the big canned food drive.
Plans for the week: Plug away at getting caught up at work, knitting and of course, lots of reading.
Bookish Internet Tidbits: While visiting Sue's blog, Book By Book, this week, I discovered a couple of great websites she had highlighted, revolving around bookmarks. Pre-owned bookmarks, and Forgotten Bookmarks.
Happy Reading, and Happy Mother's Day wished to all my fellow mothers!
Enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day. Hug those two little grandbabies and take a moment to count your blessings!!
ReplyDeleteI loved your post today - full of what makes your life so terrific. I also enjoyed the link about bookmarks. How I love the memories linked to a time and place - bookmarks do that for me. Thanks for sharing that link. It was fun to follow.
Please enjoy the rain for those of us living in this dry desert....we can live vicariously through you!!
Happy Day!
It was our rainiest April ever, too! Thankfully, we are having a dry weekend... don't remember the last time that has happened. The new chicken recipe looks like a winner. Have to plan our meals for the week later tonight.
