Election Day, 2010

For Today, Tuesday, November 2, 2010~

Outside my window~

the sky is a beautiful red as the sun rises,

and it is COLD!

I am hearing~

silence

I am thinking~

about my Hubbie :)

I am thankful~

that my brother made it safely

to Europe last weekend

I am remembering~

when Ronald Reagan won his second term

as President in 1984...I remember looking at the newspaper

and seeing a US map showing all those states that had gone for him...amazing!

I am reading~

my Bible and cooking magazines

I am hoping~

that folks will exercise their right

(and their responsibility) to vote

On my mind~

is a special prayer request my mom shared with me

From the learning rooms~

I am learning that I need to be more observant

of others needs...and not so focused on me...

Noticing that~

there really have not been a lot of political signs in

this immediate area...Hubbie said there are lots more as he

drives to work

I am creating~

birthday celebrations for our kiddos

and the dinner menu

From the kitchen~

a nice hot cup of coffee

Around the house~

the blower on the A/C is off,

but it still feels a little cool...

Pondering these words~
fourth verse of our national anthem,
The Star-Spangled Banner

 Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

One of my favorite things~
is snuggling under the warm blankets with my Hubbie!

A few plans for the rest of the week~

Tuesday~voting, Ladies Bible Study

Wednesday~church

From my picture journal~
our little punkins!
