The Simple Woman's Daybook

For today... Sunday, December 9, 2012

Outside my window... It is still dark and there is light snow falling.

I am thinking... Of how much I still want to get done before my daughter arrives home.

I am thankful for... The Christmas season.

From the kitchen...

~Friday: Out
~Saturday: Leftover Smorg

I am wearing... Light Pink Sweater, Brown Dress Pants and my favorite 3-tones pumps

I am creating... Christmas treats.

I am reading... Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy - such a good book.

I am praying for... Good weather as we travel.

Pondering these words... The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.  ~Burton Hillis  

I am still hoping... To go skiing over Christmas break.

I am hearing... The furnace running, otherwise all is peaceful at the moment.

Around the house... Final preparations before my daughter arrives home.

One of my favorite things... Christmas goodies.

A few plans for the rest of the week...
