Life on the Road

(Yeah, it’s only Day 2 for me, but I thought it would make more sense to use the same numbers Crystal has going over on Biblical Womanhood, where she’s hosting this!) 

1. Refresh Your Spirit

I am SO thankful!  This one was easy today:

• My darling husband… up before the roosters and off walking to work in the pitch dark.  The Lord has truly blessed my kids and I in him.
• Baby Blessing.  As I feel her(?) moving more and more, I’m just feeling all over again the warm feelings of gratitude I felt with Jewel.  For 10 years after Nick, I was trying to adapt to the idea that the Lord might not give me any more children.  Now here I am with a whole new “brood” later in life…  His time.
• Technology!  The German Baptist family that runs Knaus Berry Farm doesn’t believe in the Internet… but we decided that didn’t have to stop us from giving them a hand!  We’re posting the daily offerings at the bakery on the Knaus Berry Farm Menu Blog!

Busted!  I actually got dressed first thing, but didn’t finish getting ready, or get Jewel dressed, before I sat down here.  Time out!

2. Take Time to Plan

I already had today’s “to do” list made up, as we have to drive up to the Miami area for some errands, which will take most of the day.  A couple of phone calls to straighten out the many inevitable messes of life, a bank deposit, and I’m done!

Luckily, dinner is easy.  On Wednesdays before the evening activities begin, our church does a pot luck.  Wolf’s bringing some cinnamon rolls home from the bakery for our offering, so all I have to do is show up!  Woohoo!

3. Do Something!

Laundry is trickier…  I’m trying to use the dryer less, after discovering the outrageous cost of not having gas applicances (and no option to do so, short of installing a big propane tank outside!).  The laundry is never totally “done,” since there is limited drying space.  I will, however, make my goal today to get “caught up” and back on track!

Happy Homemaking!
