For Today...February 16, 2009

Outside my window...
warm sunshine and blue skies; freshly pruned shrubs thanks to my hubby who has the day off

I am thinking...
it's been a very productive day today and schoolwork is almost complete!!

I am thankful for...
Pastor's message yesterday about our plans vs. God's instruction and plans

From the learning rooms...
back to grammar after a break for a writing intensive course

From the kitchen...
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, broccoli, and rolls

I am wearing...
the usual - jeans, turtleneck, fleece, tennis shoes

I am creating...
not feeling too creative

I am reading...
still reading When God Winks at You, How God Speaks Directly to You Through the Power of Coincidence, by Squire Rushnell. This has been a light and easy read to pick up whenever I have few minutes. This book caught my eye one day as I was browsing the CBD sale. I was intrigued as I had posted on my blog about my own "God Wink" before I knew what a God wink was!

I am hoping...
to get many things done this week in anticipation of being gone for a few days next week.

I am hearing...
the rustle of papers as Rachel works on her English assignment

Around the house...
laundry is finished for the day and put away; only one or two hot spots that need to be tackled.

One of my favorite things...
Getting out the "good" dishes to set a pretty table for our family Valentine's dinner. We had lasagna, salad, French bread, and Rachel baked a Neiman Marcus cake. My "good" dishes are a set of china that originally belonged to my great-grandparents.

A few plans for the rest of the week...
Support group tonight; Tomorrow will be busy- therapy appointment in the morning, followed by errands while I am in town and lunch with a friend; need to make plans for the weekend - we are celebrating our 24th anniversary on Sunday!!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

My valentine : ) These are wonderful chocolates, made locally. Our homeschool group took a field trip tour of their store last spring -while they were making Easter candy. It was a fun field trip.
