The weather today in my neck of the woods:

Breezy and cool temperatures today. A lovely day to transplant some of those plants that are still in their pots due to the outrageously humid days we had last week.

A simple pleasure:

A few days to be selfish with my days before the Summer A Semester begins.

I am thankful:

For that first cup of coffee in the morning.

From the kitchen:

Made some delicious BBQ Green Beans for a family get together on Mother’s Day. Thanks Vicci T.!!!!

From the learning rooms:

Miss Sam continues to make progress through all her subjects. We are so blessed to have the opportunity for her to attend Florida Virtual School. It allows her a lot of freedom to spend time with family during the week.

I am still reading:

Smash Cut by Sandra Brown. Now her books ALWAYS catch my attention. This one is no exception. It’s good. Looking forward to reading it tonight as I snuggle into a bed that has freshly laundered linens on it. Luxury!!!

On My Mind:

Implementing my swimming schedule and co-ordinating it with my summer teaching schedule.

Creative Projects:

• See photos below.

Hearth and Home:

The most recent house cleaning led to three carloads of stuff to the thrift stores.

Next on the list…..Miss Sam’s room. Get your gas masks ready!!!!

I laugh:

Remembering the special needs dog in the movie The Back-up Plan tripping over the pile of magazines in the living room. Really cute “feel good” movie. However, the dog was the star in my opinion!!

Inspirational Thought I’m  Sharing:

Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-8

Thanks to today’s reading in My Utmost for His Highest (May 10th reading) in having me re-visit this wonderful scripture as I head into Summer A Semester.

Some picture thoughts  I am sharing:

Before:

There are approximately 6 boxes like this. However, I am working diligently to sorting and filing them with this wonderful photo storage system:

After:

I bought these boxes at Office Max but you can look at them more closely here. Each small container holds up to 100 photos.

Okay, time to get busy scanning all those photos!!!!!
