Outside my window… The day is almost over, and it’s raining, but it’s a gentle rain that cooled it off outside. Ahhh… But these are NEW (to me) windows I’m looking through. YES! I’m sitting in my new office, instead of at the dining-room table. YIPPEE!
I am thinking… That I love my office. Everything is so clean and neat. (I’m also thinking that it will take some discipline to keep it that way!)
I am thankful for… My husband spending so much of his time the last couple months to make me a new desk. He knows how special this is to me, and he went to tons of trouble to make one just like I wanted.
From the learning rooms… Well, I have two small bookshelves in my office now, so today I put a lot of books for next school year on the shelves. It will so nice to not have to go to the attic every time we need a different book for school.
From the kitchen… I’m not going to be doing much this week. We’re going out of town for a church conference next week, so I’m trying to use up food. However, the kids were talking about learning how to make crackers by themselves. We’ll see….
I am wearing… Bummy clothes, so we could paint, and move furniture, and clean all morning, to set up the office. I look awful! (But I don’t care if you don’t.)
I am creating… Well, I have a couple tricks up my sleeves this week, all for my websites. But I’m not going to tell… it’s a secret….
I am going… Nowhere much this week, but on Sunday, we leave for our conference. The kids will be spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa. So much fun!
I am reading… Covered or Uncovered (by Gary Sanseri), Herbs for Midwifery, Let the Nations Be Glad (John Piper), and whatever else tempts me, now that I’m sitting here next to my bookshelves. How will I ever get any work done?!
I am hearing… The sound of the Food Network coming from the living room, the slurp of one of the kid’s straws as he sucks on his smoothie, a car driving by in the rain, and my little one “reading” a book.
Around the house… I need to keep up with the laundry this week, so we’re ready to pack.
One of my favorite things… The seashore! I’m not a tropical-beach girl… I prefer the Cape Cod stuff… so that’s what we’re using to decorate my office.
A few plans for the rest of the week… A bit of work online, packing, homeschooling, writing.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing…
This is the desk my husband has been building for me. (The chair still needs to be painted white and recovered with blue fabric.)

Hugs,
Your desk looks so nice and very organized! I’ve been trying to get my home back in order and get it looking neat and clean again, but it’s so hard to keep it that way especially with little boys. Have fun painting!
Good Morning, Anne
I’ve added a Mr. Linky at Grandmother Wren’s to make it easier for the Summer Daybook ladies to find each other and share our daybooks while Peggy is on vacation.
Please stop by on Mondays and add your link –
I’d love to have you!
