Outside my window...
It's pretty and sunny with mild temps. From my window at the computer I can only see the side of my neighbor's house. Unfortunately, there is a lot of junk piled there so it's not very scenic. Reminds me of why I want to move.
I am thinking...
about the relationship with my mother who is living with me. She is becoming more forgetful and confused and rarely talks to me.
I am thankful...
for some warm temps after some very cold days and nights last week. Not all seasonable for Florida!
In the kitchen...
shortly going to start some cabbage soup with left over veggies to add to it. Probably soup tonight with bread or biscuits
I am wearing...
tan pants and blue t-shirt. I'm in flip flops today 'cause the weather is so nice.
I am creating...
hopefully to begin a 9-patch quilt this week.
I am going...
not much on the schedule for this week. I have to pick up my organic produce order on Wednesday. Other than that - not sure.
I am wondering...
when and if I will be moving to Tennessee.
I am reading...my Bible, Christmas Treasures (for a book club I am in) and The Blessing of the Lord. I usually have at least 2 books going at once.
I am hoping...
to get started on my quilt this week. It probably will end up as a wall hanging but at least I want to get started.
I am looking forward to...
visiting with a friend at the end of the month.
I am hearing...Mandy occasionally barking at a noise outside. She is my pint sized watch dog.
Around the house...Things are pretty much in order but I need to dust and vacuum.
I am pondering...I have so much going on in my mind right now that it's difficult to sort it through.
One of my favorite things...
being together with my church family each week.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
piece my quilt hanging, a couple of errands.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
Thank you, Peggy, for hosting this Simple Woman's Day Book. I've had several very nice ladies visit me as a result and I've made new friends.

Hello,
We have a view of our neighbor's drive and garage doors from our bedroom windows so we built a faux fence and planted Jasmine to run up on it....much better.
I like your rag quilt. I bought the materials to make one 2 years ago...perhaps this will be the year.

Just love on your Mom , Melanie. I lost mine 20 years ago and the last 2 years she called me Elaine instead of Elizabeth. I would love to have her back regardless of what she called me. Just enjoy having her with you.
p.s. Love that quilt you made, something I have never done,wish I could!
Hi Melanie! Enjoyed your SWD and you did a nice job on your quilt! What you said (on my blog) was so true about how your kid's problems are bigger and more out of your control when they are older. Can't kiss a boo boo and make it better like when they're young! Enjoy the week ahead! (((Hugz)))
Hi Melanie,
Oh so pretty! Love the quilt you made for your Mom. Be happy! Hugz!!
How beautiful! I love quilts and have never made one. I might just have to break down and try it some time soon.
Will be praying about your upcoming transition. Where in Tennessee are you contemplating moving?
We lived there for a short time. I worked at Precept Ministries for Kay Arthur while I was there. Beautiful state.

Hi Melanie, that's such a pretty quilt, I have often wanted to try quilting but knitting takes up too much of my time ;) I know it must be hard taking care of your Mom, my sister does a lot for my mom now too and it's a lot of stress. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.
You did such a nice job on the quilt, Melanie. Rag quilting is something I would like to try!
