~ TODAY ~ The Simple Woman's Daybook with Jan

Outside my window..... well it is my daughter's window.... smile.... the sun is shining but it is cool. 
I am thinking.... It is hard to keep track of the days.
I am thankful for.... my daughter and family, and the wonderful time we have had here.
From the kitchen.... I will be making dinner soon.
I am wearing.... a cardigan I made on last trip, a matching vest (sleevelesss jacket) warm trackydaks and ugg boots.
I am creating..... family memories.
I am going..... to a couple more things before we go home... but if Barry does not get over the cold in time, I will have to go by myself.
I am reading.... friends' sites.
I am hoping..... Barry gets over his cold soon.
I am hearing....  the crackle of the wood fire.
Around the house ..... everything is cosy.
One of my favourite things.... The real fire that my daughter has here .... as we live in a warmer climate, we bring out a small heater when needed.
A few plans for the rest of the week.... hopefully catch up with friends on Thursday, see my son and D-I-L and his daughter on Friday, and the reunion we came down for on Saturday.
Here is the picture for thought I am sharing...... (saved from online)

I am just sharing with friends this week, but for anyone who would like to meet our host, and see more of The Simple Woman's Daybook........ click here

Glad you are enjoying yourself Jan and creating wonderful family memories. I pray that your husband gets over his cold soon. I'm hoping he can also enjoy sitting by a cosy fire even though he isn't well. Hugs and blessings.
