The Simple Woman's Daybook - #3

For Today... October 27, 2008


Outside my Window...it is VERY windy. (temp. 45*)

I am thinking...that winter is really coming sooner that I want.

I am thankful for...my husband that is such a hardworker.

From the kitchen...the smell of Tilapia cooking for lunch.

I am wearing...jeans & a fleece shirt

I am reading...Seeing Jesus as he really is by Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne

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

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

I am hearing...the wind blow through the trees & the Winnie the Pooh theme song.

Around the house...laundry, straightening up, and schoolwork.

One of my favorite things...coffee.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...nothing out of the ordinary.

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

This is a picture of my husband relaxing on the pier one morning while we were camping.
