Simple Woman's Daybook: Entry #11

FOR TODAY~ September 15^th

Outside my Window... it is very soggy and yet the sun peeked out for a few delicious moments. Parts of my garden were beaten down by the storm so it looks a bit ragged.

I am thinking... how very glad I am that Mr. Steady did such an incredible job on replacing & repairing the garage roof, two walls and the doorway. We had 10 inches of rain in two days and I believe the way the garage was before it would have collapsed. [side note: he did it all with reclaimed lumber, metal sheeting etc.- only cost was for nails.]

I am thankful for… my husband carpooling to work with his brother. Saving gas and enjoying great conversations. A double blessing.

From the kitchen... breakfast was strawberry yogurt w/cookie crumbs and a thick slice of pumpkin bread w/apple butter. Lunch will be Maiden’s deluxe grilled cheese sandwiches with cottage cheese on the side (and perhaps some cheese crackers- she’s cooking and that’s usually how she likes to serve it- I never noticed before but everything is “cheesy” LOL). Dinner will be pigs in a blanket, chips, pickle spears and tomato slices on the side. Mr. Steady and  the kids will be cooking and enjoying together as I have a dinner date with the homeschool moms.
Also- I’m making another loaf of pumpkin bread (birthday present for my sister-in-law) and two loaves of honey oatmeal bread to take as my contribution to the homeschool group lunch tomorrow.

I am creating... some fun fall banners (I need to take pictures and share), a couple of framed verses (presents) and cover pages for binders for my creative writing class.

I am going... out to dinner with moms from my homeschool group to celebrate 2 mommas’ birthdays.

I am wearing... way-too-baggy-but-too-comfortable-to-give-up pants, brown T-shirt and a silver heart prayer necklace.

I am reading... New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and a couple of other books- the titles escape me right now.

I am hoping... for a good day. A productive day.

I am hearing... the kiddos settling in with school, the DPW crew checking and cleaning the street drains.

Around the house... some bread baking and some laundry. But up a few more fall decorations.

One of my favorite things... the Mackintosh apple tart in my tart burner. Oh how I love that smell.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... going to the local county fair with the family (field trip!) and my nephew’s football game. The kids are making plans to sleep over at Nana & PawPaw’s in the practically finished play house.
