The Simple Woman's Daybook with Jan


Outside my window... It is a cloudy morning, though I don't think it will rain.
I am thinking...busy today, meeting a friend for coffee at Windara, and getting ready for a few days away, and guests tonight.
I am thankful for... friends and the Australian way of life.
From the kitchen... haven't been out there yet, hubby brought me a cup of green tea.
I am wearing... nightwear
I am creating... nothing yet today...LOL
I am going... to have a busy day
I am reading... a novel from the library by Ann  Doughty. I really like her too... a simple everyday story about a girl growing up in Ireland in the 1950s after both her parents died. It is described as an enchanting tale, and it does have a positive feel to it.
I am hoping... for nice weather for the next few days while we are away in our RV
I am hearing... the chirp of many birds outside my window, and the occasional traffic on the main road. It is always louder when it is cloudy.
Around the house...  I daresay I will scoot around soon, there is always something to put away.
One of my favorite things... the early morning.....the freshness of the new day etc.
A few plans for the rest of the week:  Get a hairtrim while I am out this morning, Lynn and Brian tonight, then during the day pack the RV.  Col rang last night and organised for us to meet them and another couple  from our live- aboard (on the yacht) days, they all did too, and now we all have RVs.   We are meeting up near the Clarence River.... and only a half km from other friends, so we will see them too.
Here is picture of the bridge that we will be staying within sight of for a couple of days.....
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY  BJ Hoff
Life is a gift -
and I celebrate it!
The future is yours Lord -
and I welcome it!
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 2 Cor 9:15

Just watching the BBC news about all the flooding in Queensland and was very happy to see that you folks are well. So happy to see your post! It's just so awful for all those affected by the floods! Keep safe and be blessed!
