The Simple Woman's Daybook

For today...(February 16th)

Outside my window...Mostly cloudy and cool, but not freezing. The sun is supposed to come out later today and it should be beautiful.


I am thinking... about everything I need to do this week. I better make a list so I don't forget.

I am thankful for...A nice long weekend for Mike and the kids.


From the kitchen... I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and I'll probably make some banana bread later. I think the kids let some of the bananas get overly ripe just so I'll make their favorite banana bread. :) I also need to do pantry inventory and organizing. My pantry turns into a jumbled mess in a hurry.

I am wearing... My flannel PJs with pink snowflakes and big fluffy slippers (until I finish this post).

I am reading... the latest copy of The Magazine Antiques. One of my freebie subscriptions. I'm thinking about cutting out some of the art pages and framing them.

I am hoping... that my little brother's wedding this weekend goes well (and of course his marriage). He is so happy! He's pushing 40 and getting married for the first (and only) time.


I am creating... a plan for this year's garden.

I am hearing...my husband playing the piano with Cindy (our youngest).


Around the house... A shortened schedule for the week. I need to get all my usual menu planning, grocery shopping and cleaning done by Thursday.

One of my favorite things...a quiet day at home


A few plans for the rest of the week... I'm spending all day Friday with my soon to be sister-in-law (I'm her matron of honor) and the rehearsal dinner is Friday night. We are getting our nails done and having lunch together. Bobby's ensemble is going to be playing the wedding music.


Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

This is a note that Greg gave me when he was about 10 years old (he's now 23). I don't know why he wrote it, but I sure love it. :)
