The Simple Woman's Daybook



FOR TODAY... Monday, July 7

Outside My Window... I see a myriad of fireflies and hear the gentle lapping of Lake Huron across the road.

I am thinking... that our visas are taking so long to be processed it feels as though I am never really going to leave this place but I also feel as though I no longer "fit"

I am thankful for... small town Ontario truck stops and CAA premium.

From the kitchen... the lights are off now and my tea was finished up an hour ago. The occasional gurgle from the water cooler reminds me I am still awake.

I am wearing... a bright yellow nightie, perfect for summer and reminiscent of my younger baby doll pajama days.

I am creating... a journal to remember these roller coaster days.

I am going... to go to sleep soon, perchance to dream ...

I am reading... The Shack. Actually I finished it yesterday and I still dislike it.

I am hoping... to be proven wrong

I am hearing... the chill pad underneath my husband's laptop; the keys like stillettos on many ant feet as I type.

Around the house... two tired and bummed boys trying to get to sleep and Grandpa and Grandma listening to the television downstairs, the sound echoing in the hall ourside my room.

One of my favorite things... seeing Karen and Tim at the beach with their train, saying our hellos then skipping stones, just Neal and me.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Do I dare say flying?

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

It could widen my imagination towards the things that you are posting.

No, you can not just tell me in person. That is far away.

When you said "Stilletos", I was thinking: "K in stilletos?" I've got it now.

Flying this week.
