So Saturday I cleaned the house from top to bottom while the boys worked out in the yard. Then I ironed and took care of more laundry. It was good to be industrious and get things in order for the busy week ahead. Then I baked some fabulous muffins (see below) and we had a movie double header and then I headed out for a quick meal with a dear friend who had called last minute. It was just lovely to catch up after several months of not being able to meet. Then home and some writing.
Sunday was Mass with a phenomenal message by our Pastor. Self-discipline is the theme of the week. So important. Then we went home and played a rousing game of Balderdash. I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. Oh my gosh...too funny! A lovely meal was made by many hands. Then it was sofa snuggle time with Court and Mrs. Piggle Wiggle.
I stayed home (mostly), it was quiet and just plain wonderful. On this Monday I am grateful for:
#31 - laughter until it hurts
#32 - last minute dinner dates with a dear friend
#33 - family
#34 - a biblical message that inspires and requires more from me
#35 - fresh juicy, delectable peaches
#36 - a exquisite cocktail sipped slowly with the one I love
#37 - many hands in the kitchen creating loveliness
#38 - a kind judge who granted us the greatest gift. to care for our daughter until the end of her days. Praise God!
#39 - for hard working men who mow and weed and water and think it's FUN!
#40 - beautiful roses still blooming
#41 - a renewed desire to learn
