FOR TODAY
June 21st, 2009

Outside my window...my red leaf lettuce is waiting to harvested.

I am thinking...about the content for my upcoming 3-month workshop at Big Picture Scrapbooking called Yesterday & Today & that it is just about time for bed.

I am thankful for...things we don't ask for (or think we want) but get anyway & weekends like this where the four of us are all together with no agenda other than to simply be together.

From the kitchen...ribs tonight cooked low & slow from a Paula Dean recipe (loved it) and ten small jars of freezer jam all ready to go.

I am wearing...jeans & a blue top with white stitching & no shoes.

I am creating...layouts for my column in the October issue of Creating Keepsakes.

I am going...to have some jello for dessert.

I am reading...The Three Marriages (recommended by Jen Lemen)

I am hoping...that both kids will be well enough to go to the babysitter's tomorrow so I can get some things done.

I am hearing...Chris' iphone playing Learning To Fly (Tom Petty) while he checks his email.

Around the house...there is a large pile of cloth diapers on the couch waiting to be put away.

One of my favorite things...is that Simon fell asleep across Chris' lap tonight as the three of us sat here on the couch after Anna had gone to bed. I scratched his back and he was out. I think he gets that from me - I love having my back scratched.

A few plans for the rest of the week...work tomorrow, playdate with Tricia and her kids on Tuesday, Paolo here for a visit on Wednesday, doctor's appointments on Thursday, work Friday

A picture to share...
