Appreciations 4.7

Still having fun today remembering last night’s visit with Pam! We had so much fun talking about songs and words and books and ways to continue on a path of growing and learning. 😉

These words: Ensorcelled, insouciant, inexorable, encharm, penchant, loquacious, obsequious, saucy.

Making more progress on the decluttering/downsizing… a whole bag of papers for the recycling bin today!

The fun of listening to Winnie the Pooh while I worked today. Still one of my favorite books!

My mom’s AMAZING zucchini cake… and the fact that she made a gluten-free batch for us. Yum!!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 335

Cindy’s hilarious cat post https://youtu.be/C6-NdOPXYYQ and Debb’s idea for dentist waiting room conga lines, both of which had me giggling out loud during my wait at the dentist this morning. 😀

Project 7:21:15 1 Project 7:21:15 2

More expert advice and plus help on the room project from Mom, Dad, and Mckenzie. We are making good progress (though it looks much the same): seams and corners sanded and 2nd layer of mud applied, window framing project two well underway.

The huge pile of books Robby brought me the other day. Looks like I’m set for the next couple months. 🙂

Gorgeous weather for an evening walk.

Year 1, Day 18: Dealing with Dragons, Chinaberry, Go, Dog. Go!

I appreciate:

  1. Patricia Wrede’s book, Dealing with Dragons. I’ve loved it from the first time I read it to Katie when she was 6 or 7 and love re-reading it now. One of my all-time favorite books!
  2. Chinaberry, which is probably where I learned about Dealing with Dragons — and so many other beloved books.
  3. Go, Dog. Go! (oh, how I loved that party scene!), Harriet the Spy, Catwings, Mr. Putter & Tabby Bake the Cake, Little Women, A Wrinkle in Time, The Awakening, Pride and Prejudice and so many other books that I’ve read, loved, re-read and shared with the kids. Yay books! 😛
