I found this wonderful little item last week. I think it was at Kelli's but I am not sure. I visit so many wonderful places and each of these little meme thingy's lead me to another wonderful new friend.
I am participating on Mondays with The Simple Woman and doing her day book.
Here's mine for today.
Outside my window . . . horses grazing on the newly growing green grass that I water in a desperate desire to keep growing. It is really hot here. Mondays are quiet outback and next door. We live in an amazing place.
I am thinking . . . how much I enjoy all the meme's that I participate in and all the new friends. They bring Joy to my day.
I am thankful for . . . my husband, even though sometimes I don't show it and I don't feel that way. And I am thankful for my kids and how God provides everything we need.
From the kitchen . . . (I think I wish I was in yours Peggy except I'll let you have the banana pudding!) My kitchen is clean and organized and last night my cowboy said "Look it is bigger than I thought." (finally got all the boxes out of the floor and a chair out of the middle of the floor. Amazing) Cooking a roast,potatos and carrots tonight. YUMMY
I am creating . . . Home. Still organizing and unpacking and hanging pictures and moving furniture around, and around and around. Think I am done with the living room though just need a few more accents.
I am going . . .To relax, enjoy and be joyful this week. And finish up projects. (Next week I begin babysitting my new grandson.) I probably will go and rock the baby or put out fires over there at some point!
I am wearing. . . wild tropical print loose shorts (from a cruise) and a blue tank top and slide shoes that are wearing out from wearing them out in the barn and pasture. (Don't' do as I do; you shouldn't wear toeless shoes around the horses)
I am reading . . . my Bible, still working on Psalms everyday. I would love to read a good novel but I wouldn't get anything else done.
I am hoping for . . . rain and some extra money for flowers for fall and that you all find Joy today and all week and that God shows you his love.
I am hearing . . . nothing but the ac at the moment but will be putting on the cable Christian music c.d. I just love listening to it all day.
Around the house. . . less boxes. Yea. (well actually they are all empty and on the deck) peacefulness. Last night I lit a candle and hung roses from last week in the kitchen window. The look lovely drying.
One of my favorite things . . . I am still enjoying sitting outside at night but I guess I would have to say my house.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week . . No real plans just the normal, laundry (which I already started) moving the water hose, finishing up organizing and getting into the sewing room and finishing the makeover on my blog, and giving a gift of Joy to some special friends. Waiting for my daughter to call for help or to just hang out!
Here is a picture that I thought I would share with you . . .
I am wishing you all Joy this week. Please read my Sunday post.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful daybook! What a blessing to spend some extra time with your grandson next week. I'm sure you will have fun together. I hope you have a productive week unpacking. It sounds like you are making progress!

Hi Sherry, and thanks for visiting my blog!
As for my template- I downloaded it AND the instructions, and I had to work through those instructions bit by bit. I have a test blog that I tested it all out on (it is a private one ;)), and I'd check it until it worked. But literally, you had to follow those written instructions word for word to get it done :) I did just one step at a time, making sure it worked each time :)
Your blog is looking great! I enjoyed reading your Daybook and your Joy post. What some would consider, 'the worst of times' can end up being the most joyful times because our hearts are tender, and He draws near to us as we draw near to Him.
I may be overstepping, but maybe....maybe your daughter doesn't want to ask....I know I sure didn't, but I would have loved some help. My mom and I JUST went through this tonight. She's having surgery, told me not to come, and then waited for me to tell her when I WAS coming, and I was waiting to hear when she needed me. Tis all fixed now, but it didn't need to be broken in the first place!
Ohhhh, I listen to books while I clean, exercise (aka, walk the dog) and other such jobs than I often find less than thrilling.
Have a great week and you're cardboard clutter WILL disappear.
I enjoyed reading your daybook although it is a little hard for me with that lovely background you have. I've been where you are with the boxes everywhere. We are going to be moving again soon so I've got to go and get some paper and begin packing up some things before we put the house up for sale. I need to load the car with some things for Goodwill. It is just so hot, though.
