Outside My Window...it’s sunny and cool.

I am thinking… that I enjoyed the days off we had last week and what we got accomplished, but I am glad to get back to routine. A lot of routine always makes me long for a break: a little break makes me ready to get back to routine.

I am thankful… that my family in TX has their power restored now after Ike.

From the kitchen …I made peanut butter Rice Krispie treats last night with melted chocolate and peanut butter chips spread over the top. I like them any time but especially when they’re just-made and gooey.

I am wearing… a lavender plaid seersucker dress.

I am creating… our ladies’ ministry newsletter/booklet this week.

I am going… nowhere today except to see my mother-in-law for a little while later this afternoon.

I am reading…The Longing by Beverly Lewis.

I am hoping… that my son’s girlfriend gets over her cold soon — and that it doesn’t spread to the rest of us!

I am hearing… my husband typing and the computer making noises.

Around the house…I need to straighten, declutter, and pull out a few things that need to go to the thrift store.

One of my favorite things… is the cooler weather that comes with autumn.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Besides the newsletter and tasks mentioned earlier, I need to get to some correspondence and I hope to get to those family room curtains this week. They won’t take long to do once I get started…at least, I don’t think they will…but other things have taken priority thus far.

Here is picture thought I am sharing…

I don’t suppose I could count this for breakfast even though it does have cereal in it…
