July Monday
The weather in my neck of the woods:
Just beautiful! We had 3 uncomfortably warm days last week. Otherwise, we’ve had no hot weather to speak of.
Things that make me happy:
Sunshine with temps in the 70s!
Books I’m reading:
Don’t laugh. I almost always have this many going at once…
- Perfectly Invisible by Kristin Billerbeck (by my bed)
- A Matter of Honor by Kay Martin (on my Kindle)
- To Darkness Fled by Jill Williamson (on my Kindle)
- The Friendship Doll by Kirby Larson (in the downstairs bathroom)
- Anne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery (in the upstairs bathroom)
On the menu for dinner:
Chicken-and-broccoli rice casserole. I think. Or maybe fast food. Depends on what we end up needing to do this evening.
On my To Do List:
Finish reorganizing our bookcases.
See if the neighbor lady is still planning to have a neighborhood garage sale this weekend.
If so, get ready to have a garage sale on Saturday. Ugh.
Work on a blog post for SonlightBlog.com. (Look for it there July 26.)
New recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I want to try making some mixed-berry muffins using my friend Judy’s recipe for Whole Wheat Oatmeal Blueberry Bread.
In the craft basket:
I’m almost finished with the curtain for my bedroom! Can’t wait for the “ta-da!” moment.
Still working on the 99 Little Doilies.I think I’m working on #22, so I’ll have some more pictures to show you soon.
Started an embroidery project of a vintage postcard to frame for my room.
Looking forward to this week:
Enjoying the beautiful weather and working on various projects.
Blog Hopping:
Here are blogs for some of the young ladies and moms I got to know this past year through yearbook staff and graduation–
- Butterflies and Rainbows
- Day by Day
- Emily, the Industrious
- Eternity is Closer Than You Think
- Free Indeed
- Keeper of the Fires
- A Maiden’s Musings
- Through My Eyes
No words needed:
Lesson learned the past few days:
I can walk further than I thought if I just pace myself… and I actually enjoy it! Yay!
On my mind:
Missing my daughter who is gone for the summer!
Scripture:
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father… I Thessalonians 1:2-3
