    Outside my window………I really don’t know.  It’s too dark yet but I know it’s cool and the moon hasn’t set yet.  Looking forward to another lovely day.  But it will be Monday so I know what will be in store……..laundry, laundry, and more laundry.

    I am thinking……….after such a long hiatus why is the insomnia back?  But I am also thankful that it was gone for such a long time.  Maybe I just wasn’t busy enough yesterday……..NOT!

    From the schoolroom………..Matthew and Brett have a Biology test today on the immune system.

    I am thankful for……..my family.  My husband who works hard even when it is supposed to be his day of rest putting in poles for my last grape arbor and my oldest son who had to put down his beef heifer and did it like a man even joking about all the beef he was getting out of her.

    From the kitchen…………fried chicken, fresh broccoli from my garden and salt potatoes.

    I am wearing…………tinkerbell pj pants of Mary-Kate’s and a blue tank top.  Too early to think about being ready for the day yet.

    I am reading………..finished with Three Cups of Tea and have started in on an old favorite The Four Loves by CS Lewis

    I am hoping…………that there is no rain in this week so we can spend every minute of it outside.

    I am creating………..plans and more plans for the coming school year

    I am praying………..for Matthew to get all he can out of his upcoming trip to Magdalen College for their summer program.

    Around the house…………I think I am glad it is dark right now.  Since yesterday was so nice not much got done and plenty go undone so there is a lot to do around here.

    One of my favorite things…………eating an ice cream sandwich while laying on my back looking at the clouds.

    A few plans for the rest of the week………..take Doug to the dr today, Mass every morning, holy hour Tuesday and Friday and keeping up with my gardens the rest of the time.  Maybe a little more girl time with Mary-Kate.

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

    Saturday afternoon Mary-Kate made her debut playing the organ at church.  The look of concentration is precious.  She tries so hard to  please.  She made a timing error on Saturday but everything was perfect on Sunday.  If I can figure out my digital recorder maybe I can download her playing.  We are very proud of you MK!!!

  • You have somethings in common with my wife. Congratulations for making a truly wonderful day for your family. 

  • We never get over being proud of our children when they succeed at something new for them.  My 48 year old son sang a short solo with a choir and orchestra at a patriotic concert on the 4th.  I was so proud.  If he’d been 5 or 10 or even 15 I would have taken a picture, but I restrained myself.  The picture is in my mind.  Have a good week!

  • Such a FUN update!  Howe exciting that she is getting to play in Church! She must be very accomplished!

  • @Camarige - She is a very accomplished and special young woman.  She is well loved by her father and I and her brothers.
