- a school holiday. It was -43C [wind chill] this morning when we got up.
- lots of good books from the library, including a whole bunch by Richard Paul Evans, Gervais Phinn (sorry, I find them a little boring), a book about sewing bags (including patterns) and Miracles by Karen Kingsbury (52 devotional short stories. Probably one of her best books.) a bunch of books by Alexander McCall Smith (recommended by Sally Barkman), My Amish Childhood (recommended by Mich Klassen) and more!! Guess what. I was at a book party the other week. :)
- clean jeans drying on the railing upstairs
- heaters going full blast
- Colby and Zach working in the shop all day
- a triple batch of unbaked cookies (Aunt Maryanne's recipe)
- clean sheets (I'm a wash-em-once-a-week girl)
- six loaves of fresh brown multi-grain bread cooling on the cupboard
- a new French bread pan
- sausage n veggie soup for supper
- playing Search & Find with Wyatt
- our grey and white friendly cat (Tattoo)
- youth hockey game for the boys tonight
- talking with Arnie for a very long time today
- cutting out a new dress for myself with some beautiful fabric I got from Pat for Christmas
- a really yummy chilled coffee (THM)
- good discussions on my sibling chat
- reading Farmer Boy to Wyatt
- imagination - I'm not proud of this but I have to see the good in it. I saw the laundry basket, upside-down in the entrance today, taking a walk. A very strange sight. Very soon I caught on that Tattoo was trapped underneath. And then, horrors, he was tied in with Wyatt's Sunday belt. Like I said, surely imagination will be of benefit someday.
- my dishwasher, one of my closest friends
