Outside my Window...the sun is shinning and I think I will hang out some laundry today…along with making bread and cupcakes…

I am Thinking...that I need to make some plans for travel along with a list of clothing for the fall season…go through the winter clothes and make sure of what I need for us before shopping…

I am thankful for... God’s Love and Grace…for guiding me thru life and showing me the way to grow…

From the kitchen...I have a crock pot going as I usually do, what a great invention…even though I love to spend the day in the kitchen cooking for the week a or at least a few days at a time…I love to try new recipes when ever I can…

I am creating... as I stated last week, I have been working on scrapbooking pages, along with cutting out quilting blocks to sew, playing with a graphics program on my laptop…I love to be creative…

I am going...outside to mow the grass later and cut some branches that I have seen hanging down in my way…

I am wearing...blue jeans and a teal sleeveless shirt and again in bare feet…

I am reading...a book call “ Iron Rails In Seneca Land” this is the reservation that my grandfather is from and he and his brothers work on this railroad…

I am hoping... and praying for a safe delivery of our new grandchild…

I am hearing...the TV with Giada telling of a new recipe…I have the DVR recording this so I don’t miss anything…

Around the house...I have seen a lot of Butterflies…they are everywhere , flying so close that one even landed on our grandson…

One of my favorite things...is sharing a good meal with family and friends as we talk and laugh till the we hours of the night…

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...get hubby ready for the weekend, and move my trailer to where I can throw stuff I am getting rid of from the second floor…

Outside my Window...the daylight is showing, but I think it is going to rain again…

I am thinking...about getting my laundry done, birthday gifts bought, some gardening weeded along with planning the meals for the week…

I am thankful for... that I can still learn from my family and friends things that I thought could not be done, That in it self gives me hope to dream…I had to leave this in for another week as I am amazed by my family…

From the kitchen...well I am going to add the beef to the crock pot with southwestern seasonings…this I learned from our newest son-in-law when he and our daughter visited at Easter time…Delicious!!!

I am creating... a few scrapbooking pages each week to share with my family and my own books…I love to look back at these photo’s and see the growth…

I am going...to a children’s clothing store to buy a couple of outfits for my grandson’s BD for school…

I am wearing...blue jeans and a white t-shirt and again in barefeet…

I am reading...the old testament again…also a woodworking book, I need to make some bookshelves to organized and clean up the clutter of my books…
