The Simple Women's Daybook

I had such a wonderful weekend that I just wanted to share it with you all. After you visit here please visit Peggy at The Simple Woman and journey along the path of life we all share.

~~Outside my window...it is dark, but cool.

~~I am thinking...what a week of anticipation this will be.

~~I am thankful for...my best friend and husband, Ron. We had such a wonderful date Saturday night. I'm still smiling.

~~From the kitchen...homemade chili in the crockpot. Did I say I really love to cook in it?

~~I am wearing...robe and nightgown.

~~I am creating...prayer card for Kellie's Confirmation on Sunday.

~~I am going...to get ready for the family gathering this weekend here in Evansville

~~I am reading...(continue) The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri J. M. Nouwen.

~~I am hoping...the weather continues to be so glorious.

~~I am hearing...mostly quiet with occasional cricket. It is lovely.

~~Around the house...dust bunnies are growing and spider webs and being created, so dusting is in order.

~~One of my favorite things...is watch NCIS and the new season starts on Tuesday!

~~A few plans for the rest of the week: 1) Work on my vacation journal;2) prepare for the arrival of Wes, Annie and the girls on Friday noc; 3) Work at Mother Teresa's Treasures on Saturday, 4) Attend meeting of Adult Formation at church; 5) Bible Study on Thursday, 6) and most importantly attend Kellie's Confirmation on Sunday.

~~Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Wonderlust

I especially like this quote because wondering leads us to many things. If we wonder that means we are alive. If we wonder, we are still inquisitive. If we wonder, we can still be awed by what we realize. If we wonder, we are still interested in all that intimately touches our lives.

So today I wonder:

1) Will it rain?

2) When will baby Daniel make his entrance into this glorious world?

3) Why do dogs bark and do they understand each other when they do?

4) How do potters have the skill of creating a pot?

5) What in the brain allows someone to create a computer program that I am missing?

I wonder about these things and others. I often wonder what skill it is that I have and have overlooked or have let lay fallow and not used. What do you wonder about?

Have a grand weekend!!!

Catamaran
Lake Tahoe, 2009

We were fortunate to be out on a boat with Tom and Kathleen and their friends, Frank and Kay. Lake Tahoe is a beautiful lake. It's clear and blue and BIG. We saw so many wonderful things.that day. It is so wonderful when you can see the work of the Creator on every turn. There were wonderful beaches, glorious trees, ducks and gulls, a gorgeous BLUE sky, and mountains. A grand time was had by all! And yes, even with sun screen I got sunburned...DRAT!

Here is the link to JigZone so you can create and submit your puzzle. And Mr. Linky is available below for your convenience. Please leave a comment and join in the fun!!! I can hardly wait to put your puzzles together! Remember you can change the number of pieces you wish to put together.
