For Today - May 21, 2009 - Thursday

Good morning, Sunshine
A corner of my all-time favorite room.

Outside My Window...it's just beginning to get light outside. All is still & very quiet.

The part of the stone path that got torn out when the dream went down, is now back. Husband finished it last night.

I am thinking...that it's rather rude to only hear from someone when their kid graduates - or they're taking a mission trip, etc. Good grief!

I am wondering...why houses & land are selling so quickly in east TX! Who would have thunk it? Contracts on houses listed a couple of weeks ago & even backup contracts! I am wondering what is the deal?

I am thankful for....having scrapped a page yesterday & finished one other one.

From the kitchen...coffee

I am going...to take Shiloh walking early this morning.

I am wearing...same as yesterday.

I am reading...http://www.itsprettygood.com/pretty_good if you can read a photo blog!

I am hoping...that God makes it abundantly clear to DD & her DH where He wants them to live.

I am hearing...& airplane & mockingbird. I think this is the first time I've ever written that about a plane . . . they fly over so seldom. The mockingbird is, apparently, an early riser!

Around the house….Sheets need changing; floor need sweeping; my bedroom needs tidying. Yep - the same as yesterday!

One of my favorite things...an unhurried life.

My Have-Done List...Yesterday I cleaned up an online photo account; edited some photos; took Shiloh for a walk; took photos of a herd of cattle while on walk; talked w/my mom, DD & BFF

I've practiced Geriatric psychology 101 for almost two weeks; started/completed family scrapbook page; finished I Do/I Forever Do page;
I've gone house-hunting w/DD; I've encouraged some folks; I've helped finance a very special teen's trip to Bible Camp; I've reunited w/a friend from long ago; I took the time to bring home a special lunch to share w/DH; I've researched a nearby assisted living facility; I practiced photography. Oh - & I helped save a tree, making the birds & myself very happy. This is important to me as our yard is certified & registered w/the National Wildlife Federation's Backyard Wildlife Habitat Program.

And I learned from my doctor friend that when the death certificate says cause of death is "Natural Cause", it means there was no murder nor suicide & they don't really know why they died.

Yes, I much prefer a "have-done" list than a "to-do" one.

Something you may not know about me...I read myself to sleep. Yep - I go to bed w/a book & fall asleep. Or else I stay up & watch TV, then fall asleep. This is not as good because I will wake up in the middle of the night & then have to go to bed. With a book. So I'll fall asleep.
