Why I don’t bake bread.
Because this is delivered to my door several times a week by a friend who owns a local bakery.
We’re truly thankful!
Simple Woman’s Daybook for June 30th 2008
Whoops! July 7th’s entry is actually at this link.
Don’t forget to stop by Peggy’s for all the links entered in this week’s Simple Woman’s Daybook.
FOR TODAY
Outside my Window. . .blue skies, a light breeze and the familiar Monday morning sound of rumbling trash trucks. I can also hear Kevin watering.
I am thinking. . .that someone smells like they need a diaper change. Sorry for the TMI but that’s what I am thinking.
I am thankful for. . .an attentive daughter who asks if I “need anything” –what a sweetheart!
From the kitchen. . .scrambled eggs with green peppers –thanks Kev!
I am creating. . . Dresses!. Bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of the groom. The wedding is a little over a month away and we are in full swing here.
I am going. . . to the post office as usual and then to the fabric store (’cause I don’t have enough already! 
I am wearing. . . tennis skirt, white tee top and leather sandals.
I am reading. . . the latest issues of This Rock magazine and Threads magazine. My two favorite subjects — Catholicism and Sewing.
I am hoping. . .to be able to maintain stamina for all the things I have going. Please God!
I am hearing. . .the theme song for Thomas and friends.
Around the house. . . we’re making a list and checking it twice. We’re in home fix up mode here! Painting, wallpapering, laying new carpet.
One of my favorite things. . .coffee with cream and icy cold iced tea.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week. . . paperwork, orders, sewing, and home stuff. So much to do, so little time. Such is the story of my life. 
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you. . .
found on the memory card
they are SO not allowed to do this!
The Year of St. Paul
It begins today —The Year of St. Paul!
“…and for this reason I’m pleased to officially announce that we will dedicate a special Jubilee year to the Apostle Paul from June 28th 2008 to June 29th 2009 to mark the bimillennium of his birth!”
“The Apostle of the Gentiles, who was particularly committed to bringing the Good News to all people, gave everything he had for unity and harmony among all Christians. May he guide and protect us in this bimillennium celebration, helping us to go forward in the humble and sincere search for full unity between all the members of the mystical body of Christ.” –Pope Benedict XVI
The Papal Basilica St. Paul Outside-the-Walls has a website with Pauline Year resources at: http://www.annopaolino.org/index.asp?lang=eng
I also created a sidebar icon from an image on their site.
You are welcome to display it in your own sidebar but please don’t hotlink.
Links for Friday June 27th 2008
I’m taking a page from Lissa’s book (’cause she’s such a great lady!) and posting links to things I find interesting and want to share.
A quick note of thanks
If you e-mailed me or left a comment and you haven’t heard back from me, please know that I appreciate your concern and am grateful for it.
I have had many people tell me they are praying for us. I can say for certain that I have tangibly felt those prayers the last week and we are doing much better. Maggie’s number are more stabilized and I am finally getting some sleep.
I have also received a good bit of advice lately and while I do appreciate it, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. As much as I would like to be able to pursue every path and possibility to a cure for my daughter, I also have to be practical, prudent and discerning. At this point the best I can do is to keep up with Maggie’s care and the care of the rest of the family. I trust that whatever else God wants us to do He will make possible and right now this is it.
Thank you.
