I was too late to start this last week, so this is my week one of A Simple Woman's Daybook. Kim started hers last week. Check her blog for her update. I thought this would be a great way to journal everyday thoughts and happenings.



FOR TODAY Monday June 29,2009

Outside my window...It is dusk and the sky has so many clouds...no rain just wind

I am thinking...that time is short till a good friend leaves

I am thankful for... my health, my family and a special someone in my life

From the kitchen...Made 12 jars of peach jam tonight after work

I am wearing... my PJ's the old ratty ones the ones that are the most comfortable

I am creating...nothing.lost that mojo lately lots of ideas but no go

I am going... to bed soon

I am reading...Sunday's at Tiffanys

I am hoping...this headache leaves by morning

I am hearing...music softly from my CD player

Around the house...things are out of place and cluttered and I am ok with it

One of my favorite things...quiet time before I go to bed

A few plans for the rest of the week: Wed nite class, Bountiful Baskets Sat & the 4th

Here is picture I am sharing... Sun ripened fresh peaches make my house smell so good

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

Image
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
