• The Simple Womans Daybook 12 October 2009

  

  Outside my window…….I wouldn’t know but outside the window of the terminal here in Newark it is bright and the temp is 45.  Today I am flying to Greenville to be with my father before I can no longer be with him.

  I am thinking…..that I have some very good friends.  Friends of ours at church gave me the tickets to fly south and some cash to pay for my expenses so that I can be with my dad.  Otherwise I would still be at home and not able to go see him.  Thanks be to God for friends like that.

  I am thankful for……good friends who think of others and for family who is waiting for me to get to their house.

  I am wearing…..blue jeans and a pink tee shirt that says “Will Trade Husband for Tractor” on it.

  I am remembering……..a lot of good times growing up and spent with my dad.

  I am going…….to be my father’s daughter for 10 days.  This is heady business.

  I am reading………Nothing of significance right now.  Now is a time of introspection and reflection.

  I am hoping…..that this time with my Dad will last me forever, or at least until I die.

  From the schoolroom…….I trust that Matthew is doing the work that I assigned to him before I left the house this morning.

  From the kitchen……I left a bounty of good things for my men to sustain them while I am away.  I hope that they don’t forget me while I am gone.

  Around the house…….all is clean and in order so that they don’t have to.

  One of my favorite things…….thinking about the good times.

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

  

  Saturday Matthew, Brett, Doug, and I went up to Bald Mountain and Nicks Lake so that I would have pictures for dad and more memories to share.
