I thought it would be fun to take part in some blogging memes. That’s how we old-school bloggers got to know one another better back in the pre-social-media days. While browsing through my blog archives, I realized that my last Daybook post was over five years ago! Let’s see if I can remember how this goes…
Outside my window…it’s bright and sunny, and the treetops are barely swaying.
I am thinking…about what I need to accomplish this week.
I am thankful for…a safe trip to the orthodontist’s office this morning, a mere 55 miles away.
In the kitchen…cream cheese cookies are on the cooling rack so that Steven can take them to the men’s fellowship tonight.
I am creating…a to-do list for the week.
I am going…nowhere for the rest of the day.
I am wondering…whether or not I should wash my truck later today.
I am reading…in my Bible: I Timothy; just for fun (or not-so-much-fun): the school’s parent/student handbook.
I am hoping…that the kids have a great day at school.
I am looking forward to…reading on the back porch this evening.
I am learning…to get directions from the locals and ignore the GPS.
Around the house…tidying the kitchen.
A favorite quote for today…
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. ~ I Corinthians 2:9 KJV
One of my favorite things…quiet solitude.
A few plans for the rest of the week…errands, letter writing, mid-week church service, a football game, and piano lessons.
A peek into my day…
Someone from church blessed us with a large bag of garden-fresh vegetables. Wasn’t that nice? We’ve received quite a bit of produce over the last few weeks, and it has really helped stretch our grocery budget. I never get tired of fresh veggies!
Your quote from 1 Cor. — one of my favorites.
About the eggplant. I roast mine. Slice it fairly thin, toss it in olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast it at 450 for 10 min or so. I usually do a mix of veggies with zucchini, beets, sometimes potatoes (cut small), whatever I have on hand or what the neighbors give me from their gardens!
Thanks for the idea, Karen. I’ve baked and grilled it before, but I haven’t roasted it in the oven. I will give that a try.
Loved these!
Kudos on figuring out the locals vs GPS thing and yummmmmo for all those veggies!
Hi Mrs. C!!!
So good to “see” you on my long forgotten blog!! LOL!!!
I LOVE your meme and that you referred to yourself as an “old school blogger”! YES YES YES!! I’m right with you!
How are y’all? Still in FL??
I love the term ‘old school blogger’ – that’s what I am, too. I identify with so many things you are doing. Oh how I would love to sit on your back porch and chat. It’s so good to have you sharing again. Love that Scripture!

One of my favorite verses (apparently we are all in agreement about that one). Friends have been sharing from their gardens, and I have made at least three {huge} batches of salsa… and promptly ate each one shortly afterward. Homegrown veggies are so refreshing and tasty! 🙂
I feel like an old-school blogger, too, so I’m glad to see you are trying to revive the old-school ways if only for a moment. 😉 Hope you’re off to a great start this month! 😀
Oh I used to do the day book!! Was,fun……loved,reading about your day! Yeah for fresh produce. One,of my faves in the warmer months around here is all the fresh produce! To answer your comment from,my FFF: yes, I was so tired from,today with the first day with those kindergartners that my hubby took me out to dinner and I’m enjoying some time on the couch reading my book, my Bible and blogs before falling asleep! Have a great weekend.
