Day Book

Outside my window... The sun is shining, the birds are chirping. A wonderful spring like day. Hopefully, I'll make it out it the warmth later on today.


I am thinking... Today would be a good day to go FISHING!
I am thankful for... Answered prayers
From the learning rooms... Monkey has been doing well. We just finished up a chapter on Venus in Science. He is about to finish up a chapter on the Declaration of Independence and what lead up to the Louisiana Purchase in History.  He is doing well in Math. We've been working on Multiplication and Division.
From the kitchen...I am going to be making a Blueberry Buckle. I found the recipe in an old cookbook. Today is a good day to try this.
I am creating... I've been working on knitting some dish cloths to sell. I have a couple of other ideas running through my head, to work on, to help bring in a little money.
I am reading...For my daily Bible reading ~ I'm in Leviticus, Mark, Psalms and Proverbs. For my fun reading ~I'm reading Beloved Castaway by Kathleen Y'Barbo. I also have a book that was sent to me to read for a review. I'm not so sure about the book. At this point, I'm almost afraid to keep reading it. It is a book about the Bible, but the way it is written, the author is trying to put God on our level of thinking ~ THAT just can't be done. I think that it will be good for me to finish it, so I'll know "what people are teaching others."
I am praying...For my brother, his family and his wife's family. Her nephew passed away last night, after a long fight with cancer.
I am hearing... Monkey watching "Dirty Jobs." That is one of our favorite Saturday t.v. shows.
Around the house... My laundry is finished. YAY!  I have some straightening up in the basement. I 've been neglecting my scrapbooking, so hopefully, all the straightening will be done quickly, so I'll have a place to pull out all my scrapbook stuff.
One of my favorite things...Reminiscing, while looking  through Monkey's scrapbooks. I can't believe how 10 years have flown.
A few plans for the rest of the week... Cleaning today, Church tomorrow, Home School the rest of the week.
