A Simple Woman's Daybook~November 16

For Today… Monday, November 16, 2009

Outside my window... it is mostly sunny, and to reach a high of 60 degrees today.

I am thinking... that I am glad to have an old friend back.

I am wearing... a long sleeved brown top and jeans, barefeet

I am remembering... that I need to finish up a few projects for Christmas soon.

I am creating… a cozier livingroom.

I am going... into town today for a couple of appointments.

I am reading... "For Better or For Best" by Gary Smalley

On my mind... I have too much stuff! I need to quit going to the thrift store and being tempted by things I don't really need.

From the learning rooms… our regular subjects, lots of reading.

Noticing that... the oak trees are starting to lose their leaves. It won't be long until they are all bare.

Pondering these words... I have this framed and sitting on my desk: "Some of life's greatest treasures are just the little things."

From the kitchen… baked chicken with carrots, onions, & potatoes, applesauce

Around the house... we have been decluttering and rearranging our livingroom. Beginning Saturday afternoon it looked as if the room had exploded...but things are starting to fall in place now :)

One of my favorite things: Thanksgiving

A few plans for the rest of the week: a couple of appointments today, groceries on Thursday evening, church revival on Friday and Saturday evenings, church & church dinner on Sunday.

From my picture journal...

I am thankful for... my two able-bodied guys who are willing to help me move furniture around whenever I take a notion to start rearranging :)

Real Things


Live Simple by Janet Stever/allposters.com

"So many things have made living and learning easier. But the real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.”

~Laura Ingalls Wilder~
