Tuesday Again - Whew!

~ TODAY ~
Outside my window..... it is dark.....9.00pm Tuesday. It is still quite warm, though we are supposed to be well into Autumn.
I am thinking....... about daughter and family members. I've had a few phone calls, mainly for Mother's Day.
I am thankful for...... all the Blessings that we have been enjoying. And we had a lovely day out today on a coach trip.
From the kitchen... it is sparkling as hubby has washed up and cleaned the stovetop.
I am wearing...... nightie and robe.
I am going ...... to finish my bible study homework after this.  Did I say we are in Romans 1, and it it easier than Psalms that we had last term.
I am reading ..... another Katie Fforde book, I made a trip to the library last Saturday. It is a novel.
I am hoping ..... that our singing will go well on Thursday and Friday, as Hubby has had a bit of trouble with his throat.
I am hearing..... the sound of hubby listening to a movie on his computer in his 'office'.
Around the house..... a few teddies that I am knitting. I do get a bit untidy and have to make an efffort to pick-up after myself.
A few plans for the rest of the week..... we will be playing tennis on Friday morning, and going to join our RV Chapter on Saturday and Sunday. Most have an extended weekend starting on Thursday,as they are retired (as we are), but as we sing onThursday, and also Friday afternoon at a happy hour at an Aged Care home, that keeps us away until Saturday.
Here is a picture for thought I am sharing.... do you have a favourite musical instrument?
I have been fortunate to be at a harp recital (in a regional city) and I always look out for harps.
Psalm 150:3. """"""Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,praise him with the harp and lyre
 Catch up with our host Peggy, and see more contributions to The Simple Woman's Daybook here.
Have a lovely week everyone.

I had always wanted to play the harp as a child. Though it wasn't feasible at the time my parent could afford piano lessons. Started trying to play the harp two years ago...Not good at all but I get a lot of support from my mentor. Harp music is wonderful!! Wishing you a grand day. Cathy

Sounds like a lot is going on at your
place. I'd love the see the teddies
you're knitting. I am a beginning
knitter. Not very good as yet, but
I do find it enjoyable.
Praying your hubby's throat gets
much better and that the singing
goes well.
God's Grace,
Sandy

Wow no wonder the time is flying by, you move so fast, it cannot catch you, lol great post of your goings and comings, and sittings, love it, and I love the sound of the harp, I am sure you will be in that heavenly Chorus playing it there for us, I probably will not hear it til then either. But may God bless you abundantly for serving him, and using your talent for him.
Lots of Hugs, Barbara ♥
