Snapshot of My Life on March 7

Weather in SW Michigan ...
Early spring In SW Michigan. It's a thrill to know that under the snow things are happening. In about a month these daffodils will be blooming, even if there is still snow on the ground.



Who Cares About That? Tell Us What's Going On With Your New Boyfriend . . .
We are very happy and all is well.

I'm trying to decide what to call him on this blog. I think I'll just go with his first name, Jay.

Really? ...
Got a phone call this week collecting contact information for my 50th high school reunion. Huh? What? How could it be 50 years?

Something from the kitchen ...
Just bought this book, Taste of Home: Slow Cooker: 403 Recipes for Today's One- Pot Meals (Taste of Home Annual Recipes). So far I have not dazzled Jay with my cooking skills, and it isn't likely to happen. He enjoys cooking and is a much better cook than I am.

I do like nice hardy crockpot recipes, thought, and I think if I make a few of these he will be happy to help me eat them.



I am creating...
A new life for myself. A life full of love and companionship with a very special man.

Part of the process is to figure out what I want to keep from my old life. I haven't decided what to do with this blog yet. I've missed blogging, but does it really fit in with the new life we're creating? My decision for today is to give it more time until the answer becomes obvious.

I am procrastinating ...
Getting the taxes ready for the accountant. But time is up. It has to be done. Having it all delivered by the end of next week is my goal.

I am reading...
My Utmost for His Highest: Updated Edition, a daily Christian devotional.

This beautiful book was a gift from Jay on our first re-meeting after nine plus years. (I can't call it a date, because I DID NOT date and never planned to start.)

Each page is dated. We both read it every day and sometimes compare thoughts on what we read. He's been through it in previous years, so he's way ahead of me with the thoughts. I'm finding it spiritually challenging. Almost each day provides something to pray about to deepen my relationship with the Lord.



I am hearing...
Geese out by the pond looking for a place to nest. They are very noisy and unwanted.



Outdoors ...
Took a walk on the back three acres today to clean out the nest boxes. It's not nesting season yet, but the birds are establishing territory.

When I looked up, this bluebird was sitting on the wire watching me.



A few plans for the next few days
When old people have a serious romance the "meet the parents" event is replaced by the "meet the children and grandchildren" event. I'm looking forward to going to Lansing to meet some of Jay's family.

He is going to be traveling for the next few weeks, and I'm going to be catching up on things that have been neglected. Hope to have some knitting time. And the taxes must be addressed.

Giving thanks for ...
A new, happy outlook on life.

And ...
If you would like to be my Facebook friend, e-mail Me and I'll tell you how to find me, or you can tell me how to find you to friend.

I don't put knitting stuff on Facebook because many of my friends and family don't relate, so only friend me if you're interested in the non-knitting parts of my life.
