Daybook for October 26 , 2009

the trees here are almost in full autumn color; lots of green tipped with yellow and orange.

in the kitchen . . .

the weather looks like "soup weather", probably a potato soup.

around the house . . .

unpacking from my weekend retreat in Myrtle Beach.

from our studies . . .

thinking about . . .

Christmas only being 9 (or is it 8 now?) weeks away.

listening to. . .

my kids watch "To Catch A Thief".

thankful for. . .

a long walk on the beach.

pondering the words . . .

"He leads me beside still waters"

reading . . .

rereading my notes from my weekend retreat.

one of my favorite things . . .

a cozy, warm wrap my mom gave me for my birthday.

a few plans for the upcoming week . . .

two birthday parties for DD7 this weekend, and of course Halloween!
