Sunday Salon

 
 
Today I am linking up with My Cup Runneth Over to let you know how the day is going.
 
Time: 7:08 pm
 
Scene: Hot and Humid!!
 
Today's Plan:  This morning the hubby and I went to church without kids.  I know, I know....we should probably "make them go" but some times we just let them sleep instead of the craziness of everyone getting ready at the same time.  Church and Sunday School were good, I then watched Doug do chores on the farm (yep, I watched), and then went to see an old college friend who was at our alma mater visiting.  I had not seen her in 16 years and Doug had never met her.  She now lives in Ireland (isn't that cool!), and then home so Doug and Cassie can start their tech week practices for the community theater musical they are in and Lucy had a Vacation Bible School kick off pool party. 
 
 I am listening to:  Madi complain about mowing....it has been an all day chore for her.  I even let her leave and go to the pool.  Side note.....this should not be an all day chore but when you stop the mower every two seconds to come inside for something, it tends to become one.
 
I am drinking:  A cold refreshing Coca Cola of course. 
 
I am Thankful for:  Spending time with an old friend, praising Jesus in a small town, the independence of a country that I can do this in, and even that junior higher that needs to be reminded every two seconds to finish the yard...lol.  By the way, the mower just stopped again.....
 
Happy Sunday!!

    Hi Penny! So good to see you around again. I was late getting my Sunday Salon up because I was out having a great time with my family. I am way behind in blog reading too! Wow! I would love to VISIT Ireland! Everything I've seen about it is just gorgeous!
    Yep, our kiddos did the same thing about lawn mowing when they started it. Really! Just get it done and let's move on to better things. :)
    Hope you have a great week!

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
