22 December 2008 ~ For Today ~ Simple Woman’s Journal

FOR TODAY … 22 December 2008 
Outside My Window… lots of snow and ice.  I hope Chester (my black squirrel friend) is comfortably snugged up somewhere.
I am thinking… about what to bring food-wise to our friends’ house tonight for our Bible study group.

From the kitchen… probably something carry-out.  [...]

I am thinking… that I have a lot do to today!
I am thankful for… the pleasant dinner with my parents and 91-year-old grandmother.  We’re a small family, [...]
