Daybook!

Hello! I'm sure you all thought I fell off the face of the earth...

FOR TODAY, Monday, July 11, 2011

Outside my window... we just had a glorious rain shower. Heavy rain in some areas, but thankful for whatever amount we get at this point. I can see my very overgrown flowerbeds (the weeds are fabulous growers!).

I am thinking... about my dad, about my housekeeping skills (or lack-there-of a lot of the time!), about the beach

I am thankful for... Hospice helping my dad (they really are WONDERFUL!), thankful for Matt taking a nap (he will probably wake up now that I said that), and thankful for YOU, wonderful blogger friends! Also thankful that the garden is producing!

From the kitchen... bread in the breadmaker

I am wearing... khaki shorts and a light blue t-shirt, barefoot of course!

I am creating... lists, piles and full suitcases

I am reading... the Bible, and "The Excellent Wife." I'm also doing a study guide with TEW. I plan to read a few novels while at the beach.

I am praying... 

      -for my dad's health... cancer officially terminal and spreading. Focusing on pain management and keeping him at home. Hospice has been wonderful! Please pray for me to be able to discuss my faith more openly (especially with family members).

I am hoping... my dad is able to enjoy this beach trip

Around the house... does anyone else get frustrated when they clean and it doesn't look like it? All of the "old" stuff in our house is so worn/stained/etc that you can't tell when the floors have been cleaned. Don't get me wrong-- I am thankful for my home, but I wish it looked a little nicer.

One of my favorite things... cool air blowing through open windows

 

Pondering these words... why do I always draw a blank when I get to this line?

 

A few plans for the rest of the week... beach trip preparation

A picture thought I'm sharing... 4th of July sweet corn in eastern PA, with Matt to show how tall it is. Corn in our area is only about a foot high.
