February 13

Well, I will try to be faithful to posting here.  Just a diary, so to speak, about how home and what we do.

Today was nice and quiet.  DH went to our church men's breakfast first thing.  When he came home I had the dishes done, the bread dough for the week rising, and the kitchen floor swept.  We'd discussed going to the plant sale, but we just went about chores.  DH went to clean the fish tanks and make sure the water was warm enough - only to find one of the tanks was TOO warm :(.  The fish were all dead.  He'd put the heater in last night for '30 minutes' and it ended up being for the whole night - he forgot about it.  All the other tanks were fine. 

The boys and I had cleaned out our storage area last week and today I began re-folding all my sewing fabric in the neat new way I learned on line the other day.  I have YARDS of fabric and this new way is SO nice and neat.  It takes up such less space!!  We are going to store it in the storage room instead of the sewing room - so as to make room for sewing in the room!!!  I have not purchased any fabric for a year and still have PLENTY to use up... I am preparing for some Green Market items and some craft fairs.  I am hoping to bring in some money this way.  DH has asked me to work part time again as we could use some more income right now.  I hope to be able to make enough to keep replinishing what I need to make more things to sell PLUS at least enough to help out with the grocery bill.  I'd rather not work away from home again.  I enjoy my days here too much.  Lots of prayer going into this.

We went to the plant sale after a bit.  Saw nothing we couldn't do ourselves so purchased nothing.  We then headed north to see if we could find a trailer.  DH needs one to deliver the ocassional refrigerator, taking things for shipment to Haiti and perhaps to be used for camping in N FL.  We found one at a really good price - I hope he goes back and gets it next week.  It is brand new and comes with a three year warranty.  Good deal.

Then we wen to take some soup to a friend who had foot surgery on Thursday.  She is doing well and we are blessed to  be able to do this for her.  We love helping out when we can with a meal here or there for others.

Now, this evening I will be busy preparing Media Shout for our church service tomorrow.  DH is napping on the couch and the boys are upstairs playing games.  I'm sure we will be eating soup for supper.

It is COLD here today so we'll stay in for tonight.
