My lovely and oldest daughters, Cassie & Jaycie, worked ultra hard this week to get AHEAD of their summer school schedule, thus earning today OFF. Of course, since they don't have to go to school, that means I don't have to drive them there. The benefit of their extra work is a blessing to me, as well! Thank you, ladies, for earning me a day off, too!!
Wouldn't it have been great if my body had slept in a little longer (7:15 a.m. just doesn't seem late enough)? Nevertheless, at 9:13 a.m. (as I type this) the house is still fairly quiet, and I like that!
Since I get to stay home today, my list of "around the house" tasks today include
- Cleaning our master bathroom. I still can't figure out WHAT happened to my favorite product - Shower Power. We used to be able to purchase it in stores - lots of them! - but now it's only available online, for a much higher price.
- Making homemade yogurt - I've done this quite successfully for some time overnight in the oven, but recently purchased the EuroCuisine Digital Yogurt Maker. My first couple of batches have been much too tart, so I'm making some adjustments and trying again. Once the quirks of your unique ingredient (starter, milk fat content, thickener) and method (heat, hours) combination are worked out, then you're set ... but I'm not quite there yet with this new machine.
- Study session with my Investigation: Jesus teaching partner, Sue.
- Knitting on a secret project (here's a super tiny sample photo)
- Undoubtedly, the girls will continue their "Harry Potter Marathon" which was begun last night. I'll definitely sit down here and there to join them, in preparation for the last release next week.
- A spaghetti dinner - youth fundraiser - at the church takes care of our dinner plans.
- Oh, I've already got my Bible reading done!
- Of course, exercising is nowhere on my list. Just can't ever seem to get everything right!
Tomorrow is my Sabbath day, and as was the case way back when, preparation the day before (today) is still key to ensuring and protecting its successfulness!

that knitting doesn't look like it comes from the yarn in the previous post. Are you working on more than one project? the yogurt maker looks interesting. Has come a long way since I made my own back in the 80's. You make living look so easy. Love Auntie.
