FOR TODAY… May 16th
Outside my window… dark and chilly. It's Sunday evening and it has rained on and off the past few days.
I am hearing… Aidan retelling Bunnicula to Kieran, Brendan, and Tess who are captivated by his rendition. Helps that the story teller turned off the lights and is holding a flip phone to light his face. ; ) The big's are gathering game boards for a late night game. "Phase Ten? Pictureka? Yahtzee? Apples to Apples?" The votes are being cast…
I am thinking… about where we will be next month this time and all that must happen in between.
I am thankful for… two fantastic get-together's with friends this weekend. We are so blessed. Thank you!
I am wearing… long gray matte jersey skirt, black v-neck tee, black beaded necklace set.
I am reading… The Tremayne's and the Masterful Monk. I love love love this series. Colin and I read the first on loan from friends and I bought him the whole set for his birthday last summer. I just misplaced the current volume he lent me, however. That's what happens when you sneak a book into the bathroom or wherever for a chapter or two. St. Anthony….
From the learning rooms… math lessons with one teen in the evening lately. Another teen is an essay question away from finishing the government class.
I am creating…. thematic piles for the movers in hopes of having some logic to the packing boxes. And lots and lots of lists. Tons to remember.
Pondering these words…
"It is kind of a death to leave a place where one is well known and has friends."
- St. Claude de la Colombiere (1641-1682AD)
hat tip to Colleen Hammond. However I am also thinking that there is no real living away from the man you love and I am so looking forward to this part being over.
Around the house… painting furniture. Seriously. It's therapeutic. When I get stressed I paint things.
Looking ahead this week: replacing son's ID after his wallet was stolen. 'Cause we were apparently not having enough fun, what with moving around the world and fixing garbage disposals and broken pipes and all. Say a little prayer if you would. He really needed his ID this week.
Packers begin Friday. Wow.
One of my favorite things… little girls in matching dresses.
From my picture journal…
after the storm

What a great photo!
