Outside my window...fall is definitely here. We have a cool breeze with a nip in the air and a when a neighbor just walked down the street I heard the sound of rustling leaves with his every footstep.
I am thinking...of how happy I am that Thanksgiving will be at my house this year. I dearly love having my family all together.
I am thankful for...family traditions and the promise of joy at the holidays. I love the sound of laughter and teasing when we all get together and truly enjoy having family and friends in my home.
From the learning rooms...I’m on the final leg of my class this semester. I’m still undecided whether to take a class the spring semester or spend more time learning my camera. So much to learn and experience in this beautiful world of ours!
From the kitchen...up until a bit ago there was not a thing exciting in there. But Keith came home from work happy to inform me that today is National Bread Baking Day (or something like that) and who am I to argue? Right now my home smells simply divine with a loaf of bread baking in the oven.
I am wearing...jeans, t-shirt and flip flops
I am creating...I’ve been pulling out necessary tools and papers to make a sympathy card for a friend that just lost her father.
I am going...I actually have no “going” plans for a bit! Strange feeling since I tend to be on the go quite a bit.
I am reading...my Bible and my school book. Right now I’m between books.
I am hoping...that I can get everything done in time for the holidays! But if not, I’m ok with that too. My family is so wonderful about saying “Be all right” if things don’t go according to plan and we just switch to Plan B.
I am hearing...the tv while Keith watches a movie. Not sure which one.
Around the house...oh the mess! We’re pulling stuff out everywhere and rearranging and cleaning and tidying. But I’ll bet by the weekend it will be spit spot and we can relax and enjoy.
One of my favorite things...is a moment with the husband. As we go about our evening and sometimes we’re in different parts of the house pursuing our interests, it’s always nice to see him pop in to tell me something. Or I’ll go out in the garage just to let him know the bread went in the oven. Small moments in time that we will always treasure.
A few plans for the rest of the week: I’ll be spending some time getting the official menu written down, then pull a shopping list out of that. I have a couple of cards to make and get in the mail and I want to work on finishing Brooklyn’s sweater.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
(This picture was taken yesterday at the lake. He knows better than to get on the furniture at home, but I guess he knows that rules are a little more relaxed at the lake.)

Enjoyed your Daybook post. I'm not hosting our family thanksgiving this year but really looking forward to the fun of family and traditions of getting together. I love the puppy picture!
The picture is precious, the way he has his face and paw on that pillow.
I can relate to those moments with your husband. Since mine's retired, we're here together most every day, but we both stay busy with our own activities. Every so often, he'll walk in and give me a big smooch, or pat me on the hiney (TMI?), and it reminds me how loved and blessed I am. :-)
