In the meantime, there is peace. Examples: a delicious breakfast of last night's leftovers cooked by Johnny on his new favorite toy, our outdoor grill (it was on sale): fennel turkey sausage, red onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers. Praying and reading more Psalms. Munching on raw macadamia nuts. Balancing the checkbook. A simple lunch: tuna fish sprinkled with lemon pepper and a salad, both served in lime green IKEA bowls; chilled yerba maté to wash it down. Listened to Ray LaMontagne. Ordered a Lotta Jansdotter calendar because I love the artwork and it was on sale. A checkbook cover is on my wish list. And how cool is the name Lotta Jansdotter? It reminds me of one of my all-time favorite books: Kristin Lavransdatter. If Lotta's name is anything like Kristin's, then Lotta is the daughter of Jans. I would be Jenni Jamesdatter.
Other than those exciting endeavors, I've been snapping photos of fun decorations Johnny hung for me last night. I here declare that I'm ready for an official photography lesson, but it's still fun to play with the camera, am I right?
A gift from my brother hanging in the kitchen between the pantry and laundry room doors. Now that we own a grill, be prepared to see "JS" inscribed on your steaks when invited to dinner:
An IKEA bird mobile. It is intended to hang outside, but since when have I played by all the rules? We prefer it near our upstairs bookshelves and the TV - kind of our "rec room":
Did I mention it lights up blue?! It looks better at night:
I placed a favorite piece of fabric on our bedroom dresser. I'm taking a poll: does this look work or not? It works for me, but I'm curious of your opinions:
Tonight's schedule includes more prayer and Psalms, reading books, The Colbert Report, and falling asleep as early as possible.
