...and for today...

I gave this book to Mr. Husband 

as a belated ordination (now subdeacon) gift.

I admit I am now one of those who starts planning

for Christmas in July.

And begins accumulating gifts by August... 

I had stocked up on flour a while back

and now have the two new glass canisters in use...

*

I made goals for the next months and

baking a new bread, an apple pie and apple cakes DV

come October on are the list... 

Well, is this why they say don't put plastic in the 

bottom rack of a dishwasher?

Oops. 

*

We had a lovely full day yesterday for the 

Feast of Holy Dormition.

*

The eve of the Feast I felt that I was 

coming down with something.

I am now taking vitamins and the like; drinking tea.

I am still tiring more quickly than I would like

so I am seeking to rest a bit more.

*

I get Mr. Husband home through Monday

and I am so glad.

We have a plummer coming tomorrow

to fix our bathtub.

I am so thankful for this esp.

as the plummer seems very good, peaceful and upright.

*

I am struggling to nail down a routine for September;

I need to get a day set for Sunday school planning 

and I can't seem as of yet to clear things inwardly to do so;

the first lesson is done but so much more to do.

*

Prayers most welcomed.

*

I am so thankful for my life here and all

that it entails....hoping it will soon include

a chicken and broccoli casserole (clearing out the over-filled freezer)

and perhaps a non-vegan peach crisp, once I check on how 

those left over peaches are doing...

*

What does this day find you doing,

as August so quickly is slipping by us?
