    I have already done this once today but cyber space ate it up and spit it out somewhere else.  So let’s try it again

    Outside my window……..the sun is up and it is quite nippy out there.  There is the tang of fall in the air and it is my favorite time of the year, minus the allergies.  The trees are slowly relinquishing their summer green for the glory of autumn.

    I am thinking………about New York City of all places.  A dear friend has invited me to accompany her to the city for two days and I am attempting to be about my excitement while I wait to ask my husband if I might go.

    I am thankful for………all of you wonderful xanga people who are praying and being so supportive since Doug lost his job.  You have made a potentially anxious time into a peaceful time.

    From the schoolroom……..all is in waiting for Matthew to come home from Mass and begin another week of learning.  He has a renewed desire to excell since his brother is encouraging him to not only become physically fit but spiritually and intellectually as well.  What would we do without big brothers.

    From the kitchen……….grilled pork steaks, potatoes from my garden, fresh green beans, and peach pie.

    I am wearing……..I am going to be wearing jeans, black tee shirt with a pig on it, and flip flops after my shower

    I am creating………..an atmosphere of encouragement and love for my husband.

    I am going………nowhere today, I hope.  To NYC tomorrow, I hope.

    I am reading………still plowing my way through Love and Responsibility

    I am hoping……..that Doug finds another job soon.

    I am hearing……..the sound of both dogs snoring from MK’s room.

    Around the house………three clean bathrooms, clean floors on the first floor, two loads of laundry going, dishes done, dogs fed and contented, husband and son to Mass, schoolwork prepared for, and one workout done.

    One of my favorite things……..listening to my husband talking to our kids on the phone.

    A few plans for the rest of the week………I am throwing them all up in the air until I talk to Doug about going to NYC.

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

    Either this is a creature from some strange planet that has invaded our home or Matthew has finished his ghillie suit.

  • I’m reminded of the mummers’ costumes I saw in Europe!

  • He needs gloves!! And alittle less black around the right shoulder and hood.

  • That is such a fun outfit!  Looks like it was a lot of work…

    Hope you have a great day!

  • It reminds me of a “scary” movie I saw as a child where this creature comes up out of the water and attacks people…hehe….
    Hope you’re having a blessed Monday…

  • You can take this as a compliment to the state of your dining room, that he is not blending in at all.
