For Today
December 7, 2017
I am once again participating in The Simple Woman's Daybook

Looking out my window...I see the reflection of our Christmas tree lights in the glass. It's 7:00P.M. and has been dark since the sun disappeared at 4:27P.M. this evening. 32 degrees right now and going down. Feels like winter.

I am thinking...we're at a loss as to what our kids and grandkids might want for Christmas this year. Usually, by now, they've all provided a wish list. Only 17 more days until we have our Christmas on the 24th. Is it panic time yet?

I am thankful...that we are abundantly blessed in so many ways and so much so that no one can think of anything they want or need.

One of my favorite things...this time of year is Christmas lights. I usually string them around a couple of rooms in the house, but only the tree is lit up right now.

I am creating...all sorts of artsy things in my imagination that never seem to become a reality. 

I am wearing...fleecy jammie pants, long sleeved T, and fuzzy socks that only see the light of day at this time of year.

I am watching...well, we just got done watching seasons 1 & 2 of Stranger Things

I am hoping...for some snow this winter. 

I am learning...this right here...

In my kitchen...my hubby is brewing coffee (he's sleepy, so caffeine). I love the fragrance of coffee. I enjoy smelling it more than I enjoy drinking it. 

In the school room...the grandpeeps are looking forward to Christmas break (although now it's called winter break because political correctness.)(Don't get me started) My son-in-law is finished with all his college classes, finals next week, and then he graduates!

In my garden...does the nine foot fake tree sitting in my living room qualify? No? Didn't think so. 

Board room...this one seems appropriate for this post today...

  2. Your Christmas tree is beautiful! I like your quote about the simple life. That is so true. It's hard to believe there's only a couple of weeks until Christmas. Where does the time go?

    1. Thanks for visiting and for taking time to comment. And thanks for the compliment about the tree. Yes, time sure does fly, especially this time of year.

  3. I can relate to your lack of Christmas lists. I have 5 people to buy for and 2 of the 5 have given me a list. I told the kids if they don't give me a list, their dad will buy their gifts. He shops Christmas Eve! LOL
    I too love lights. The more the better. I used to put them up in all of the windows and the tree. Now that kids are on their own, I stick to just the tree and mantle. God's blessings to you and your family this Christmas season.
