FOR TODAY June 2nd...
Outside My Window...
Blue skies, bright sun, and Old Glory flying proudly in the wind
I am thinking...
about ways to cut our fuel expenses; Chris commutes to work everyday & with gasoline topping $4.00 a gallon, we’re looking at a $600-$700 monthly gas bill
I am thankful for...
my husband’s willingness to trust my judgment, & the regional transit district that provides a (relatively) convenient commuter bus for only $112 a month!
From the kitchen...
hamburgers, green beans, & some homemade ice cream.
I am wearing...
navy slacks, royal blue knit top, & navy loafers
I am creating...
the Notting Hill Vest for Chris, since I haven’t bought replacement yarn for his kilt hose.
I am going...
put in for a few days vacation in July- not only am I ready for a break, I think it’s time to take a road trip up to Oregon to visit the in-laws
I am reading...
Back on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber, Murder on the Mauritania by Conrad Allen, & All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew
I am hoping...
to finish up these reports for work, so I can have my Saturdays free again.
I am hearing...
the sound of the laser printer kicking out pages of month end reports, the fax machine ringing, & J.S. Bach’s Suite in C Major
Around the house...
I’ve been sorting through the magazines & stacked papers on the desk; Sam is doing his semi-annual room rearrangement, clearing out the end-of-school debris; & the growing pile of shoes by the front door need to be addressed
One of my favorite things...
Kettle Brand Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper Chips- yum! (Plus, it gets us to drink plenty of water J)
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Sam starts a second weekly tennis lesson (Tues & Fri) & a four-week golf clinic on Saturday; I have a dentist appointment to have a crown replaced; working on the new church quilt & mending a cut in the living room curtains (someone was practicing with his new sword L)
Here is picture thought I am sharing.
this is the new quilt I’m working on; it’s called “Almost Cathedral Windows” & is pieced & quilted at the same time!
Please drop by The Simple Woman blog, to visit other ladies sharing a glimpse of their day- maybe you could even join us!

What a beautiful quilt Meg. Wow... love the colors. Sounds like you're busy again... how's the arm now, by the way?
Ooooh those Blossom Street books are fantastic! I had the 3rd one in my grasp from the library, but couldn't finish it in time and had to take it back!!! (I had already renewed it 3 times.) I'll get it again.
I think I'm going to have to join you on this Simple Woman's Daybook thing. How fun!
God bless :)
Good Morning!
What a lovely Simple Woman's post you wrote. Sounds like the busyness of a contented wife and mother. No higher reward can we ask for, eh?
I see that you like Scottish Gatherings. Maybe we've run across each other if you attend any in AZ; my oldest son (14) is a Scottish Bagpiper. We attend only those in AZ for now, but hope to expand that at some point.
Have a lovely day, and thank you for hosting my visit!
Blessings,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I've been wanting to try my hand at beginner quilting and your design is inspiring.
Interesting. . . your curtains fell victim to a swashbuckler.
:)
Oh, I am loving the Simple Woman meme and the chocolate thingy down below... cats and good memes... and "why we love Sam's" - I can always count on you!
SO SAD for the loss of your yarn. RIP
Just came off of a weekend at a renaissance faire and it was fun! (you being the docent, I thought you'd like that... no, it's not your period or place maybe... but historians everwhere unite!) No dancing though! Talk about bummed! And I missed the joust!! Double bum!
Hope your summer will get started soon (past the paperwork).
Tammy :):):)
It's A Wonderful Life!
What a pretty quilt, or at least that glimpse of it! I would love to see more of it. My MIL made a Cathedral Windows years ago, while she watched tv...stitching away by HAND! Her daughter has it now and treasures it.
