day 4

this morning while we were having coffee, trav and i saw two deer milling around behind our house.  we stood and watched them for a while talking about how thankful we are to have this backyard that overlooks a marshy-lake.

i just whipped up a loaf of really healthy and yummy banana bread in my well-stocked kitchen.  and, all of the dishes will slide right into my dishwasher for their cleaning regimen while i enjoy a slice of tasty banana bread and a cup of coffee.

here i sit in my cozy living room with my laptop overlooking that beautiful view.  i am warm.  i am comfortable.  i am dry and out of the wind.

day 4: i am so thankful for this place that we call home.  for many years i longed for a place that i could cook and entertain in, a place that i wouldn't have to move from in six months, a place that truly felt like home.  and, in God's grace and perfect timing, here i am.  and i am so thankful...

  2. Julia; Spoken like a true prairie woman! My grandmother, Nellie Siebens, who is your great aunt I think, use to say, "Don't complain. You're warm and dry and have plenty to eat."

    Laura, that sounds like something my grandmother Caryl might have said! I'll have to pass it along to my mother.
