Sunday Salon, June 10

New hanging basket for a shady spot on the porch.
Weather today... Sunny after morning clouds, and cool.

Yesterday we picked up daughter #2 from college and moved her out of her dorm.  She is home for three weeks and then off to school in Italy for the summer.

Today I went to a graduation party for the son of an x-neighbor. I attended with a current neighbor. I guess you could say it was a neighborly day.

I'm reading: 

  • The Butterfly Clues by Kate Ellison. It is a YA mystery. Hhe main character, Lo, has OCD. 
I'm listening to:  
  • Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. I love this book.  It is my third time listening this book.

Book finished this week: 
  • Day After Night by Anita Diamant---Set in Palestine in 1945 before Israel was a country. It is interesting and so well-written. I listened to this in the audiobook. I highly recommend this book in this format.

Scripture lesson in church:Proverbs 3:5,6  "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight."

I'm praying for: My energy this week as I am dealing with heavy textbooks every day, all day.

Around the house: We bought several beautiful hanging baskets for the porch and deck area.

From the kitchen: Spaghetti and sausages with foccacia bread purchased at Saturday Market.

  2. Love the hanging basket and the fact that your daughter will be in Italy this summer (so jealous!)

    We did textbooks last week and boy was I tired every day. When they go digital, won't our jobs be different?! I hope the week is going well for you!
