FOR June 30, 2008

Outside My Window...
a beautiful sunny day, lots of pretty zinnias in my flowerbed

I am thinking...
about what needs to be done to complete supper and what I need to buy at the grocery store to finish the meal. How I really don't want to go to the grocery store : )

I am thankful for...
Rachel being back home after two weeks away at a summer dance intensive. Thankful that she had a great experience, made many new friends, learned from excellent instructors, danced beautifully Saturday afternoon.

From the kitchen...

I smell chicken cooking in the crockpot that I will use to make my brother's recipe for jambalaya tonight. I'll make a green salad and French bread to go along with it. I love this recipe - it makes a bunch so I always freeze 1/2 of it for later.

I am wearing...
Navy blue shorts, "Paint the Park Pink" t-shirt, bare feet

I am creating...
a plan to finish the Eagle Scout scrapbook later this week.

I am going...
to the grocery store soon. Young Women's Cancer Support Group, later this evening.

I am reading...
My Bible.

I am hoping...
to get most of the laundry caught up today. Rachel did laundry once at camp but most everything needs to be washed. Nothing like smelling like a musty dorm! To persuade Allan to get a haircut this week

I am hearing...
the dryer, the air compressor that just kicked on, the radio, the ticking of my cuckoo clock

Around the house...
I am working to finish the laundry; still trying to declutter

One of my favorite things...
Lots of hugs from my "tiny dancer" making up for the lack of hugs in the past two weeks

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
A visit to a friend's new home for lunch and "catching up"
Cookout and fireworks on the 4th

Here's a picture I am sharing with you:

Thanks to Peggy for hosting the Daybook each week!
