FOR TODAY : August 18, 2008
Thunder and lightening and a whole bunch of running around today.
Outside My Window… A light shower, thunder and lightening. A wonderful break from the oppressive heat we have been experiencing.
I am thinking… Today I am starting the Holiday Grand Plan, tweaked for those of us who do Advent. I will be posting on this later today.
I am thankful for… My 16 year old who has been a really big help this summer.
From the kitchen… I have my coffee this morning. If the weather stays cooler I will bake some break this afternoon.
I am wearing… My PJs.
I am creating… A new website.
I am going… To take my mother to have cataract surgery this morning.
I am reading… A Mother’s Rule of Life.
I am hoping… That everything goes well with mom, that the weather stays cool and that the next few days go quickly.
I am hearing… Not the stupid crow. It must not like thunder.
Around the house… I planted two new hanging baskets this weekend. I am working on the front porch this week. I miss my husband, he is traveling on business.
One of my favorite things… The smell of rain on hot dry ground.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Lots of cleaning and planting and getting ready for the end of summer.
Here is picture thought I am sharing…

I read the Holiday Grand Plan, and got scared….and quickly left that alone for the week.
How is your mom doing after surgery? Hugs and prayers to you both.
My mom is doing great, thank you for asking. She had her eye worked on and then had a follow up appoinment yesterday. Everything seems to be going well for her.
Hope your mom’s surgery went well.
Blessings,
Grandma Starr
