Not a typical January day

It is a warm and beautiful January day, thanksgiving to God flows abundantly.

Breakfast brought a dispute between siblings over toast & tears flowed.  Forgiveness from the tired girl to her brother didn't come quick, but did come.  My trying to be helpful, wasn't helpful at all & she made sure I knew it.  I felt saddened at her reactions, but forgave anyway & we all hugged each other before the bus came to swoop her up for school. 

The smallest boy here is playing in the sandbox with his toes sifting the sand.  He's wearing just sweats to stay warm.  The sun provideds the rest.

Toy cars are scattered around the floor, signs of my son playing while I rested my tired body this morning.

I have my book in hand, and I'm heading out the door to sit next to him.  I will enjoy the beautiful sunshine before the cold comes tomorrow.

A stick laying in the yard & visit from the neighbor dog just added to the excitement.

A handy neighbor man stops down at my request to look at a door.  Problem is fixed for now with his intelligent thinking.

The man of the house is working a job he loves.  I miss him, but happily wait, cleaning the home for his return.

Supper is in the crock pot, & a movie is reserved for us to watch together tonight.  Time together with him is never wasted time.

This is not a typical January day, but this is a lovely day.

Merry Christmas!

Tip of the day:
  Remember (or Google, if you don't know) what today is all about & act accordingly. 
Love,
Me

Ps.  I'm posting this as a reminder to myself as well.

The lucky girl (pt 3)

This lucky girl wants to brag about the lucky GUY!

The man of the house won 25 town bucks in a drawing!  Yep, 25!!  Saaaa-weeeeet!!

  I proudly picked them up for him at the chamber office today. 

We live in such a lovely town. 

I will *try* to force him to spend them on himself.  He's such a do-gooder.   He will probably want to spend the money on the kids, but he so deserves this, he like never buys stuff for himself.

The lucky girl series (pt. 2)

The smell of fresh bread is filling the house while it bakes in the other room.
I was blessed with a bread maker from a very sweet woman this year.
I'm a lucky girl!  & I should really make some bread for her soon!

The lucky girl series

I am so thankful for the garbage man who comes once a week & hauls away whatever I put out, no questions asked. 
This morning I filled a bag with expired car seats & couldn't even tie it shut.  He just swoops the bag up and tosses it in the truck. 
After a good month of feeling like I should let them go, not knowing where to take them, and mostly being tired of looking at them, he really came through for me. 

Wow,   I'm a lucky gal.
