For Today:  August 6, 2025                                                          

Looking out my window...

it's a warm, hazy summer day.  I pushed Bev around the neighborhood in her wheelchair this morning, and she enjoyed looking at the flowers.

I am hoping...

to be moved into our new home really soon. I spoke to Camelot today and they estimate that the house will be delivered the first week of September. Everything is falling into place!

Dan is talking to the guy who dug our septic and well. He's now preparing the ground for the slab for the manufactured house to be put on. 

I am thinking...

about how the new neighbors we've met so far seem really nice. 

One of my favorite things...

is being with all of my kids on a beautiful summer day. 

I am thankful...

that we were able to have a lake day at my grandfather's camp. All of my kids were there, Dan's son Scott, and Erin and the grandkids. It was a fun day swimming at the lake, eating pizza, playing lawn games, and hanging out at the camp.

 

I am creating...

memories with my husband. I love him so much! After spending time at the property, we went out for dinner at a local restaurant called the Salt Hill Pub. We celebrated the good report that Dan got from the oncologist. 

I am listening to...

 different podcasts about nutrition. On a drive to the property Dan and I listened to Dr.Josh Axe talk about food in the Bible and why God gave the Israelites the food laws that he did, and how today we can follow some of the principles and guidelines. 

I am reading...

 a book called A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken. It's a story of a wonderful couple who were very much in love. They became friends with C.S. Lewis and other Christians at Oxford, and through many conversations with them, eventually came to faith in Christ. 

I am watching...

a 1997 movie with Dan called Conspiracy theory with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts.  I saw it when it came out, but it's been so many years I didn't remember how it ended. We really like the actors, and I thought it was a great movie! 

In my kitchen...

 we've made chicken stirfry, steak, salad, corn on the cob, and gluten-free blueberry muffins. Sid and I went out for breakfast the other day at the Hilltop Cafe here in Wilton. It's great because it's mostly fresh organic food. I had a delicious veggie sandwich on sourdough and we ate in their outdoor seating.
