• The Simple Womans Daybook 19 July 2010

  

  Outside my window…..the sun is shining and it is a nice DRY 82 out there.  The humidity seems to be a thing of the past, at least for now. 

  I am thinking….that I should be working on my final exam right now.  I will shortly but I wanted to get this done first.  I really have been productive this morning it just doesn’t look like it from anyone else’s perspective but mine.

  I am thankful for….new friends and old.

  From the schoolroom…mine is empty right now since I am working at the library today.  I needed to get myself away from distractions so that I could get these exams done.

  From the kitchen…..I really don’t know what Melissa and Mary-Kate have in store.  It was spotlessly clean when I left this morning.

  I am wearing…..jeans and a green life is good tee shirt. 

  I am creating….some brilliant prose so that I can get some great grades.

  I am going….home when I get done or I get a good amount of work done for the day, whichever comes first.

  I am reading……British History for Dummies.  Not a bad read.

  I am hoping…..that my son Adam has a good birthday in spite of the fact that he won’t be home to be spoiled and to celebrate it with his family.

  I am hearing….little snippets of conversations from the other patrons of the library.

  Around the house…..the usual Monday morning things are getting done, I am sure.

  One of my favorite things….being here at the library to work and knowing that those at home are doing what they should be doing without my having to tell them.

  A few plans for the rest of the week…..the usual chores and responsibilities along with preparations for getting Matthew off to New Hampshire on the weekend.  He will be gone for two weeks and I am not looking forward to that.

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

  

  I don’t exactly know what Doug is doing here but I like to watch him work.  Whether he knows what he is doing or not he always gives off that air of competence that says he knows or he will figure something out.

  

  Ian’s antique Allis Chalmers tractor waiting for him to have time to work on it and restore it to its former glory. 

  

  Everytime that I have to drive into the city I pass by this line of old cars and wish I had my camera with me.  Today I made it a point to take it with me.  I love looking at these beauties.

  

  These were built in a day when car manufacturers had some imagination.  People seeing one of these coming down the road could tell what make and model they were from quite a ways away because they were distinctive instead of cookie cutter versions of everybody else.
