Christmas Daybook

FOR TODAY (DECEMBER 29,2008)...

Outside my window...Blue grey morning is opening up to a more or less cloudy clear day!! in other words we never know what the day will bring by the end of it. it cold snow!!! but there will be sun today too. anyway it is going to be a good day..

I am thinking...Wow, another year has almost slithered by with many things to accomplish that will be pushed into the next year, so many birthdays have happened in this month also and a couple of persons have been laid to rest in the cozy blanket of white snow to await the coming of a Saviour who will raise them up again and take them to heaven.

I am thankful for...safety, food, holidays, money, warmth and crisp winter air, family, and all the encouragement and grace that this embraces

From the learning rooms...(if this applies)

From the kitchen...I will be making cookies with my granddaughter to send to my sons who did not get home this year and because i was too busy before christmas they will get it now!!! They also had birthdays on Christmas day --twins and an older daugter --two years apart and on the same day. we will make a small batch of pancakes this morning too. maybe i will post a picture afterward.

Buttermilk Pankcakes

3/4 cup each of white and brown flour

big heaping tablespoon of brown sugar --- 2 tbsp!

1 tsp salt

1 tsp soda

1/4 cup of cornmeal

big dash of bran

mix all that and add

3 eggs

2-3 tbsp of oil

2 cups maybe 1/4 more of buttermilk

i like to add corn or blueberries or raspberrries also, we always put peanutbutter and applesauce on top or pearsauce which is blended up pears

I am hoping...to print out a recipe book for my kids this year of all of my favorite recipies

I am hearing...the remnant of the Christmas music playing and the words that say Give Me Jesus! when i am alone give me Jesus. for in these moments we find the peace and strngth for the day. awesome thought.

Around the house...it is so nice to have my house sort of organized this holiday and to have the holiday time from work to do it. but there are still a bathroom to decorate and doors to rehang and skirting for the trailer will have to wait for summer. always something to do. and a blanket to stitch together

One of my favorite things...sitting in front of the pellet sove and enjoying the WARMTH. i can just feel the warm floor and the heat melting up to my legs!!!!!

A few plans for the rest of the week: just as listed above but i may make a trip or two to the city...
