The Simple Woman's Daybook


I'm joining Peggy for her meme

 The Simple Woman's Daybook.

For Today

Looking out my window
And I'm seeing the yard across the street, it's big with lots of trees.
Hoping I'll see a little squirrel out playing and a few birds singing.

I am thinking
About the mess the world is in, it seems to be getting worse every day.  I pray for our country and our leaders.  Lord, give them wisdom and light their path.  Please send a revival to our wonderful country that we may turn from our wicked ways and enjoy the many blessings you've given us.

I am thankful
We have a God that hears our prayers, even though I don't always understand His plans, I know they are the best plans.

One of my favorite things
Enjoying my first cup of coffee while sitting at the kitchen table looking out the window!

I am creating
A new cross stitch, I'll be sharing later.

I am wearing
I'm still in my pj's!  I'm a late dresser these days.

I am watching
Nothing right now, but I have several new dvd's on the shelf waiting for me.

I am hoping
My sweet granddaughter in love tells us very soon there's a new baby on the way.
Matt and Kaylea on their wedding day two years ago.

I am learning
I'm always learning something, you are never too old to learn.  I've been learning about the best foods to have in your diet when you have COPD.  I'm very happy to know I love them all.  Go me!!

In my kitchen
I'm working on a new project, I'm getting together a few of my MoM's recipes, ones she wrote in her own hand, to have copied and framed. I will enjoy seeing them whenever I'm spending time in that special room. Yes, I think the kitchen is a very special room, a place where family gathers to laugh, talk and eat.

Post Script
I saw this on facebook and loved it!
I want one!

A moment from my day
Not too many days will go by that you won't find Mr D and I driving down our Main Street.

Closing Notes
I'm sorry to say my granddaughter was in a fender bender the other morning, but I'm so happy to say she wasn't hurt. 
Now that I know that I will share something so cute and funny about the whole incident. Merica was in her car seat in the back, when Maegan saw the guy turning in front of her she started honking her horn. She said every time she honked Merica said, "beep beep". 
Sweet little innocence didn't have a clue what was happening and how bad it could have been.

  1. I am glad to hear no one was hurt, but, poor girl having to repair her car now! You have a great view from your kitchen window and how I love the checkered curtains! I have been thinking of putting checkered curtains in my dining room (which is open to the kitchen). Have a lovely weekend Mary.

  2. I second the beautiful view from your window. Looks like a great place for watching birds and squirrels which I love doing. How pretty your granddaughter looked at her wedding. I really love that quote from Billy Graham. I may have to borrow that one sometime :)

  4. I especially like your idea of framing some of your mother's handwritten recipes and hanging them in your kitchen. I must ask my younger sisters if any of my mom's recipes exist.
    So thankful your granddaughter was not hurt in the fender-bender.

  5. Dear Mary, what a delightful post to read! I love the idea of sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee, looking out the window. :) Would love to see your finished cross stitch. I have done some in the past and I have all my mom's leftover thread and needles. Maybe I'll get back to it one day. Right now I've taken up crochet again, and I'm using some of what my mom left. I love the idea of framing your mom's handwritten recipes. What a great idea for a kitchen wall! I made an art journal page with recipes so that I could preserve them. One is in my mom's handwriting and one my grandmother's. You've given me an idea. I'm not sure what it would take to frame them, but I might check into it. Thank you for visiting my blog. Blessings to you!
