FOR TODAY, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16
Outside my window...snow, about 9 inches and still coming down.
I am thinking... it's beautiful now. However, I won't like it when it melts!
I am thankful... to get to stay home today
In the kitchen... pinto beans in the crock-pot.
I am wearing... jeans, my favorite comfy purple top, and a light gray cardigan. Oh, and two pairs of socks.
I am creating... blog posts and updating photo albums today.
I am going... nowhere. I love when I can say that.
I am reading... nothing right now. I just finished Max Lucado's Next Door Savior. I think I will see if our church library has more Max.
I am hoping...and praying that our son-in-law Daniel will be safe during his deployment in Kuwait and that time will pass quickly for him so he can be reunited with his little family.
I am looking forward to... Sunday when Janae and the twins will be here.
Around the house... the heater is running constantly and I have out our furriest afghans. Lamps and candles are on for a cozy ambiance.
A favorite quote for today...
“You fail
only if you stop writing.” —Ray Bradbury
So
when in doubt, write more. – as seen at The Write Practice
One of my favorite things... having a marathon of HGTV's Love It or List it programs.
A few plans for the rest of the week: hair stylist appointment tomorrow, getting ready for a board meeting on Thursday, and an Olive Garden date with my youngest on Saturday. Hope the weather cooperates!
A peek into my day... a Valentine arrangement on our table, the roses courtesy of my sweet hubs:
The daybook is a concept created by Peggy Hostetler. If you'd like to link up, visit her site, The Simple Woman's Blog.
I love marathon Love it or List It watching. Hope the snow stops soon. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHi Jerralea! This is the time for cold days and snow, that's for sure. It's 14 degrees as I write, and my heat is working overtime too. Something to be very thankful for though.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your weekend will be busy with fun things. A date at Olive Garden and then seeing the babies. Yay!
Your roses look so pretty, what a sweet gift from your husband :)
Blessings,
Ceil
PS Thanks for the writing encouragement!
Jerralea, I really like your blog, and I just checked out your 100 things about me, and it is great, I love how you wrote it! I hope you have a wonderful week and the snow stops so you can get out and about, especially to the Olive Garden. My mom, sister and I are florists, my family has had a flower shop since 1917! And those roses you have are some of the nicest ones I have seen in a long time! I also hope and pray your son in law stays safe and well and the time goes by quickly. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty Valentine arrangement! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of snow :) What pretty flowers!

Saying a prayer for your son in law. Lovely valentine's flowers from your Valentine! Sounds like you have a busy week ahead. Enjoy those grandbabies!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching "Love It or List It" too. I hope that the weather cooperates for all your plans this week. We have cold weather back beginning tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteYep, you got a lot more than we did! I'm glad you got to stay in and enjoy your day! Your home sounds like a wonderful place to be!
ReplyDeleteWIll keep Daniel in my prayers! I too am going the the beauty shop! Only for a trim. Hope you have a great date with your youngest. Those are so fun and necessary!

Prayers for your son-in-law and his family. My hubby and brother were both in the Marines. I understand all too well. <3
ReplyDeleteoh, You all are getting the white stuff now?? we had another 4 inches on Sunday morning on top of our 12. But the real kicker is my oldest daughter up at Gordon College (north of Boston) has just over 90 inches!!!!! Can you imagine?? ugh. I loved your daybook...sounds like you have a cozy day :)
ReplyDelete9 inches of snow is amazing. Stay warm. Your roses are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your day.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your son in law, and your Valentine's bouquet is gorgeous.
