(I guess that's the title I'll go with!)
For Today…June 14, 2010 at 7:00pm
From the Heart:
It was bittersweet visiting with family I haven't seen in a long time this past weekend. You realize how quickly time is going by, how soon things can change and end. But you also see how things grow and develop. What was is still and, yet, is no longer (in good and bad ways). It's also amazing how something, someone, or some place can bring to the surface those memories you've tucked away.
On the Homefront:
Well, I think we've made the decision to push forward with trading houses with a gentleman from church. Craig and I sat down today and made a big list of positives and negatives. Then we sat down and looked at our budget. The house isn't any bigger than the one we currently own, and it will take some creative thinking to fit what we have in it. (It may take getting rid of a few things, as well as getting a few new things.) The cost will also stretch us a bit more than I wanted to be stretched. But the property is amazing, the house is sound (with lots of possibilities for improvement and expansion), and the location is fantastic. So, we take a deep breath, and off we go! I will be so excited to start moving on with the next phase here of packing up and moving.
In the School Room:
Summer break! :)
In the Literary Scene:
I'm reading another historical fiction, Mistress Shakespeare. It's okay so far.
Outside my Window…the sun is sort of shining right now, but we've had some showers. The tiger lilies are blooming, and the birds are flitting about. I'm betting the chickadees have fledged by now, as the last time we peeked in on them they were fully feathered and absolutely adorable mini-adults.
I am thinking…that I have so much to do!
I am thankful for…good health and my family. Great music and my computer, too. And I'm glad that we've at least made a decision either way about the house.
From the kitchen…I didn't cook anything today, but Sarah and I did make up a new batch of laundry detergent and soft scrubbing cleanser with our essential oils.

I am wearing…a t-shirt and shorts. Ha! No one will see me in shorts!
I am hoping… that our decision is the right one.
I am creating…a dishcloth. I should post a pic of it. It turned out hilariously awful!
I am hearing...Phil Wickham, Jesus Lord of Heaven, and something clicking around in the dryer.
One of my favorite things… good health, beautiful nature, days at home.
I am praying for... good health (always) and for wisdom.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…praying with my friends, meeting with realtor, a creek romp with church friends at Bill Yeck, Cincinnati Zoo, and a busy weekend with soccer, a graduation open house, and events with the pastoral candidate.
I accomplished since last week…helped my mom and aunt get everything ready for my cousin's graduation parties.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:
Normal size dishcloth next to my giant one.
Here you can really see how the edges are catty-wampus. :D Ahh well. It's the first time I've ever tried to add a border. It's not finished yet either, and I was using up leftover yarn as this was a prototype. Beware! You might be getting one of these lovely dishcloths for Christmas!
