A Simple Woman's Daybook entry for 9/29/08

Outside My Window... Indian Summer has come to our valley!  The sun is warm, coming up over the mountains, and not a cloud in the sky.  All the leaves are changing, but our temps for today will reach the mid 80's.  

I am thinking... about Art's retirement again.  The date is set for 1 July 09, we will be leaving Utah at the beginning of May.  Our plans (at the moment) are to buy a travel trailer.  We hope to spend about a month "on the road", as we travel to Massachusetts and then live in it for a few months while we scout out our new home.  

I am thankful for... our scripture study group, 20 wonderful people, sharing and learning together.  We are using A Quick Journey through the Bible  by Jeff Cavins.  It is my first time leading/coordinating such a group and it is such a wonderful journey.

 

From the kitchen... breakfast -- warm pumpkin bread and pears

lunch -- Mexican soup and corn bread

dinner -- grilled flank steak with garlic potatoes & green beans

I am wearing... my favorite comfy jeans, apricot long sleeve tee, red crocs and my hair up in a sloppy pony-tail!  All about comfort today, fighting a sore throat/cold virus.

I am creating... quilts and gifts for Christmas.  My fall quilt is coming along nicely, I am sewing the blocks into rows at the moment.  Hopefully, I will be done by the time it turns cooler.  My 6 gifts are at various stages, I plan to work on them throughout the week.

I am going... to be getting lots of rest and fluids today, I hope to fight off this cold bug!

I am reading... Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt by Anne Rice

I am hoping... for the cooler weather to come, we have gone 28 days without running the A/C.  I would really like to keep it that way.   

I am hearing... pitter-patter of not-so-little feet, getting their morning chores done, before we start school.

Around the house... finish decorating for Fall, all done except for the dining room, going through the kids clothes, and making up meals for the next month.

One of my favorite things... Sunday morning brunch!  I love when my husband makes waffles.  YUM!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: trip to the dermatologist, a fall hike at Snow Basin lodge, quilting class and possibly basket weaving!

Here is picture thought I am sharing... Happy Fall Y'all!

Happy fall to you, too! I enjoyed reading your Daybook entry. (And small world, we're having flank steak for dinner, too. Wish we could have had that pumpkin bread!)

I'll have to check out that book. We're studying Egypt right now.
