The weather today in my neck of the woods:
Hot and humid with mid-afternoon thunder boomers. A typical summer day to celebrate the official First Day of Summer.
A simple pleasure:
Homemade iced coffee brewed to perfection.
I am thankful:
That although she is being forced to go (the perks of being THE PARENT), I am thankful that Miss Sam likes the Sunday night church/youth group at our new church: Reflections Church.
From the kitchen:
Made some awesome burgers for our Father’s Day “cookout” and don’t forget my super delicious baked beans…all in all….that would be it for the week in my kitchen.
From the learning rooms:
Miss Sam is doing wonderful in all her courses. She just completed Driver’s Ed (scheduling the DMV book test this week) – along with English segment one receiving A’s in both. That’s my girl!!!
We are both struggling with Algebra – but her effort deserves an A++++.
I am reading:
The Fixer Upper by Mary Kay Andrews. One of my favorite summer time authors…and this book does not disappoint.
On My Mind:
The way God is working in me as I handle more rejection from my family. I’m done. All I can do now is pray.
Creative Projects:
- Working on sorting through photos and scanning them onto flash drives then storing them in these handy dandy storage boxes….soooooo much better than the cardboard photo boxes!!!!
- Continuing to work on family genealogy. I have to do this in spits and spurts as it can be overwhelming.
Hearth and Home:
- Still waiting for those gas masks folks so I can tackle Miss Sam’s room!!!
- Gave it all a good once over this past week – should be good for another year or so.
I laugh:
Because we saw Shrek: Forever After and it was great!! I love the Shrek series.
Inspirational Thought I’m Sharing:
An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins. Proverbs 29:22
A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. Proverbs 29: 11
A Picture Thought I am sharing:
Miss Sam and her Dalmatian Posse…back when she was incredibly cute….now she is awesomingly beautiful!!!!!

Don’t you just love MK Andrews?! What fun books she writes!
That photo of Miss Sam is precious!
I think I’m going to have to look into your photo storage system. Our back-up storage drive is getting full, too…perhaps we should invest in a bunch of flash drives. Hmmm…
Posted something tonight I hope you will read and comment on.
Danielle – I’m taking a sabbatical from my regular life and using it in part to catch up with old blogging friends. Glad to see you are still in business.
