Outside my window… hot and steamy following a fast moving storm. I think that’s the pattern for the upcoming week.
I am thinking… about the book I just finished reading and the new one I’ve just started. This has become a season of learning with the words that I’ve needed appearing when I needed them in the pages of used books that I bought for a dollar.
I am thankful for… everything.
From the learning rooms… we have another full week of programs at the library – the Mad Science Slime Workshop; “Two Right Feet” music, movement and stories; the Airborne Jugglers Show and Workshop
From the kitchen… I’m thinking of trying a few more of the recipes from “Friendship Cake” – the book I finished reading last week.
I am wearing… pajamas
I am creating… knitting my way through the One Skein Wonders book, enjoying the luxury of working with specialty yarn – affordable if I only need one skein!
I am going… to be very busy again this week.
I am reading… The Yellow Brick Road – a storyteller’s approach to the spiritual journey by William Bausch
I am hoping… to find the initiative, time and energy to get some new entries into my other blogs this week. I miss doing them.
We’ll see…
I am hearing… listening to another one of those overly dramatic movies featuring hysterical women on the Lifetime network while I type. To be fair to the hysterical women, they are often hysterical because they’re being stalked. It’s a popular plot on Lifetime. I guess I’d be hysterical too.
Around the house… birthday presents are hidden away waiting for Miss Maya’s birthday on Sunday.
One of my favorite things… looking forward to special family days – like birthdays! 
A few plans for the rest of the week: lots of library time; knitting; Maya wants to make a pinata for her birthday (okay….but Grammy’s never made a pinata. Grampy says if there is a pinata, then we have to have a Mexican theme.
What????
No.
We Don’t.
We’ll be lucky to turn out a workable pinata and call it Good.)
Here is picture thought I am sharing:
Aiden Andrew at this time last year
and Aiden Andrew this afternoon, celebrating his First Birthday! Happy Birthday, Aiden!
The Simple Woman’s Daybook originated with Peggy Hostetler at The Simple Woman blog. Peggy is on vacation for the summer – I added a Mr. Linky widget here hoping that the Summer Daybook ladies will find it and link in. I am so, so happy to see so many Daybooks joining mine!
Are you here?
Leave a link!
Never participated in the Daybook?
Now is Great Time to Start! Here are the directions from Peggy’s site - don’t forget to come back and leave your link.
Oh my goodness, what a difference a year makes and what a sweet little boy Aiden Andrew has grown into! Thanks so much for hosting the day book. I really appreciate it!!!
I stopped watching Lifetime movies because of the hysterics and the man-bashing. I would always end up depressed after watching one of those movies.
Happy birthday to those precious grandchildren. They’re just gorgeous!
Have a blessed week.
What a precious baby! Thanks so much for hosting the Summer Daybooks, I have been doing it some on my own this summer but never realized you were here doing this! Have a great week, enjoy the library and birthdays!
What a cutie!
Sounds like you’re doing a lot of knitting. I admire you for having that kind of patience.
Awwww….happy birthday, Aiden!
Oh, I just love reading your daybook! What a cute that little guy is!!! You’re very blessed! My daughter and I love to crochet, needlework etc. but I just can’t seem lean how to knit! I’m a visual person so I need to watch it being done to learn it and I’ve just never been around a knitter to learn from! I love the photos of your projects also. Thanks for having our daybooks here, I so enjoy being a part of it!.

Love “I’m thankful for everything” What a sweet baby! They grow too quickly.
I really enjoyed reading your summer day book. I think I might join in! We haven’t gotten any rain. Well just a little bit yesterday. There were really bad storms in Wisconsin yesterday. They all missed us. The week at the library sounds like they have some really fun programs. The pinata sounds like it would be fun to make. If you make it good luck! Happy Birthday Aiden!
