Sunday Dinner, March 25, 2007

Once again, where has the week gone?! This week has flown by. I've been busy around here at home, but more on that in a bit.

Sunday Dinner for us tomorrow will be Hamburger Soup, and for Jessica, a Hobo Dinner. She doesn't like any soup. I know, it's a genetic deficiency and we're researching the problem, but in the meantime, anytime I cook soup I have to make her something else.

So what's for dinner at your place? Just share your menu or plans in the comments.It has been unseasonably warm here in Arkansas this week. I'll even go so far as to say it's been hot. The high here today was 84 degrees. I've had the windows open day and night for the last few days, airing out the stuffiness of being closed up all winter.

I washed laundry all day Friday and Saturday and hung my bed linens outside to dry. I have several bedspreads and quilts lying on the bed beside me that were dried in the fresh spring air. I can smell them from 10 feet away. They smell so fresh and clean. They make the whole room smell good. I still have more to wash. Most of them are just stale from being stored all winter, not dirty, but I like to wash them and hang them out in the fresh air to dry.

I finished another baby afghan for a friend from church. It's just like the one I made a couple of weeks ago for baby Seth. Next on the agenda is one for my grandbaby, Emmy. Jessica and Jason asked for blue and pink for Emmy's afghan. I have most of the squares made for it, so I should have it done in plenty of time. Jessica's due date right now is May 15th, but it wouldn't surprise this Mama in the least for Emmy to be here several weeks earlier. Either way, I should have her afghan done before she makes an appearance, unless she's really impatient and is premature.

My next priority around here is getting my computer room/spare room ready to do triple duty as a nursery. Jessica and Jason have asked me to take care of Emmy several days a week, for a few hours at a time, after Jessica goes back to work. It would only be for a few hours some afternoons, and possibly on Saturdays. I thought about it for about 10 seconds before I said "YES!!" Of course we've already discussed the fact that I have obligations myself and there will be times I won't be able to keep her, so we'll have to work that out.

I'm sitting here right now looking around me at the mess, wondering where in the world I'm going to put some of this stuff! Decisions, decisions....Not only that, I have to make room for MORE stuff. Baby stuff, that is. I keep telling myself it will be a labor of love. Sigh....

Thanks to all of you who responded to the call for prayer for baby Addison. She is still in the hospital but is doing a little better, praise God! You can read her Mom's latest update here. I know Sarah and her family appreciate your prayers on Addison's behalf as well.

I've still got soup and hobo dinners to make, plus laundry to fold and my Sunday School lesson to study, so I'll wish everyone a blessed Sunday. May God meet all your needs and bless you with enough to share.

Love,
