I am thinking… about school prep work, next week’s camping trip and next month’s vacation to Alberta
I am thankful… that little JoyNess napped for nearly 2 hours, in her own bed, in her own room this afternoon
In the kitchen… chicken is marinating for Grilled Chicken. I clipped the recipe from the newspaper a couple of weeks ago and am excited to try it.
I am wearing… black capri pans and my black tank, I put on some sparklies to brighten things up a bit
I am creating… hmm, order. After loosing quite a bit of space to the additional bedroom we added I am going deeper with purging and trying to create order again.
I am going… to the movie premier of The Fire Sword on Friday!
I am reading… 7 Tools for Cultivating Your Child’s Potential by Zan Tyler, A Simple Blessing by Michael W Smith and A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George.
I am looking forward to… our camping trip with extended family next week. Builder will arrive home on Saturday, so we’ll have a couple of days to spend with just him before the big fun cousin time.
Around the house… Mae is practicing piano (beautiful), JoyNess is playing in her exersaucer and squealing, there are stacks of books and paper to be recycled around my desk. We are just getting last year’s school work & books out to make room for this upcoming year’s materials.
I am pondering…this blog post and sifting, and letting the truth of this young woman’s beautiful words sink deep
A favorite quote for today… I like it better this way, with the pressure on me and not on fate, cosmos, or divinity. I will not fall out of love, cannot fall out of love, because I willingly dived in and I’m choosing daily to stay in. This is my joyous task, my daily decision. This is my marriage. ~ Hannah at The Art in Life
One of my favorite things… the evening walks and mini hikes we are finding time for after dinner. We are coming across many beautiful flower beds.
A few plans for the rest of the week… an early appointment for an estimate on my van, I damaged it on our recent camping trip, the girls all have music lessons, some have youth group during which I hope to take Chica bowling. Thursday a friend is taking a couple of the girls swimming, then they are spending the night. Friday is the World Premier of The Fire Sword! and our city’s Youth Volunteer Event. Full Fun Good.
A peek into my day…

Pretty photos. So nice to see things grow in the summer. Looks like you have your hands full with a little one. Those days seem to be behind me, and I'm looking forward to being a Grandma some day.
Blessings,
Karen
