♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥ 
It is sunny and still, although the tinkling wind chime on the porch is swaying a bit on a slim breeze.The kiddos  across the street are bundled up but  playing  gleefully  on the school yard equipment.  so it must be  a nice day  for them..For me.  I am feeling the  damp in my bones!

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥ 
in the throes of  preparing a hearty  wee lunch for hubs and myself. He  went to   Mission BBQ  yesterday to get his free  sandwich and he  brought a pound of their  delectable brisket..  So I am    making a bit of a stew  with it..  just adding the yummy   bbq'ed meat into  a  mash of   veggies  and  warming in  through.. I  think it sounds gobbling good.   I hope I am making enough it!

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 

I am getting excited about meeting our kids  this spring at Lancaster to  see  for their first time  a Sight and Sound production.  This season is Moses, which Lynn and I have seen  but it will be perfect for the girls especially because  of the special effects  within the spectacular  production!

♥♥How am I feeling ♥♥ 

I suppose the same as usual...   

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥

Lynn is so good to  fix our  coffee and yogurt each morning.  He also fried up  2 slices of  sausage..  nice on an English muffin with a smear of apple butter.

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥

We had a later breakfast  so  this  stew  concoction   I am thinking will  be our dinner with a bit of  tossed salad.

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥ 

I  am wearing  a red long sleeved  warm  tee  over  a pair of knit  lounging  pants that actually go with another   set.  but  I love these on stay at home days  in the winter.

♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥ 

I am  reading  thru the Bible with the gospel coalition and I  am still reading a beloved book, Gently and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. This book is about Jesus’s heart and love for His children.  It is a must read for all believers.  I am, also, beginning a new book, Praying the Bible by Donald S. Whitley.  We started a study on this book last night.

 ♥♥ On my TV this week ♥♥ 

Nothing in particular. Many of my favored  vlogs haven't started up in the new year yet.

Creative Update:

I do enjoy watching  Sketch Skool  videos online   and  practicing my drawing.  I will  finish  this  sketch book and hope to start a nature journal  later in the year.

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥

Most of the Christmassy  stuff is packed away, but if  it resonated  winter it is still up….  and will be during this cold season!

♥♥A Favorite Vlog ♥♥

  1. Beautiful school photos! Our weather's been so mild here, always nice to be able to go outside when in a school setting with young children. Your stew sounds wonderful. Hope you have a great week!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
