Today was, and hopefully will continue to be,

a perfect day off of work.

I went to sleep last night listening to

a Christian radio station and

woke this morning with sweet songs in my head.

I made a quick drop-off at Churches in Mission

under these wondrous clouds and bluest of skies . . .

The clouds have been here all day . . . beautiful.

Then I went to out to lunch with Mary

and enjoyed great food (Panera Bread)

and even greater conversation.

Relaxing.

This face found me while I was touring Mary and Dave's new motorhome . . .

Next stop was the used bookstore

where I still have LOTS of credit.

I bought 7 books,

no novels,

but some poetry, educational, a Joyce Meyers,

a devotional-type, photography,

and two non-fiction bestsellers.

Then I walked next door to the consignment store for women's clothing

and bought this great [purple] bag for toting books and stuff

when I'm out and about.

When I stopped for fuel,

I realized that I do love primary colors . . .

Back home, I sat on the porch swing,

two sleeping dogs nearby,

and finished the 7th novel in Jan Karon's Mitford series.

I'm re-reading the entire series

and it's just as good the second time,

maybe better.

"Dinner" - ha - will be a hodge-podge, no one home but me . . .

And, I plan to spend the evening on the couch 

surrounded by books and notebooks, tea, a bit of dark chocolate,

half-listening to the television and hopefully talking to Vince

when he checks in from Tennessee.

Today and everyday . . .

Soli deo gloria

To God alone be the glory.
