The Simple Woman's Daybook - #2

For Today... October 20, 2008


Outside my Window...it is breezy, dreary, and drizzling rain. (temp. 50*)

I am thinking...that it feels like a curl up with a good book & read kind of day.

I am thankful for...everything God has been and continues to do in my life.

From the kitchen...tonight's dinner chicken parmesean, spagetti, and baked bread.

I am wearing...a pair of flannel pj's & a t-shirt

I am reading...different bible passages that go a long with the series we are studying at church.

I am hoping...to get more accomplished this week.

I am creating...a home management binder. (still working on this)

I am hearing...the today show.

Around the house...laundry, & organizing coupons.

One of my favorite things...is a good mocha.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...not to much going on this week that is out of the ordinary.

Here is a picture thought worth sharing with you...

Last week I shared with you a water wheel that was attached to a Grist Mill & Cider Press. Well this week, I thought I would share the mill itself.
