• The Simple Womans Daybook 10 August 2009

  

  Outside my window……..it is rainy and wet and likely to stay that way all day.  It is muggy and warmish and a perfectly rotten day to go outside.  A good day to stay in and listen to some good jazz and do a little sewing. 

  I am thinking………how nice it is to have Matthew home.  He doesn’t make much noise but his presence in the house and the knowledge that he is near fills me with a certain contentment.

  I am thankful for……..home, family, health.  Summer days and sultry nights.  I am thankful for things that I feel in my heart that my mind knows and my words cannot express.

  From the schoolroom……..all is in readiness for the first day of school on Monday.

  From the kitchen……….I must consult with Matthew about what he would like to have for his homecoming supper tonight.

  I am wearing………jeans and a white tee shirt.

  I am creating………..canvas bags

  I am going……….to the bank and post office and nowhere else today, I hope.

  I am reading…………Peter Kreeft’s Black and White (I think that is the title)

  I am hoping………that one of the produce places around here has escaped the late blite the the rest of us are experiencing on our tomatoes.

  I am hearing………..the hum of the air conditioner and the sound of MK and Matthew chatting in his room.

  Around the house……….the housework is done and the laundry is progressing.  Time for me to get myself going on my sewing.

  One of my favorite things……….the sounds of the music that my children make.

  A few plans for the rest of the week………..The usual and not much else I hope.  I’d like to see my car get fixed so that all is back to some semblance of normal but I can wait on that too I guess.

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

  

  Ian teaching one of Matthew’s friends how to drive the tractor.  He is one of the most patient men I know when it comes to young kids.  He will make a great father some day.

  

  I guess I should memorialize my rental car and this chapter in our history.  Here is the Toyota Camry that I am driving at present while my girl is being fixed.  Doug says that I look “hot” in it but he says I look hot in the Durango too.  I am not a car person.  I prefer trucks and SUVs.
