I've been meaning to write a post every single day this week, but it hasn't happened ... until today, anyway! This week has been busy ... good, but busy too! What have you all who read my blog been up to?
I spent an evening with a friend at the beginning of the week. We talked and talked! We enjoy each other's company, but we've never had a whole evening to talk before - usually we talk at church or at a dinner or party at my house! The lovely thing was, having a whole evening to talk stimulated conversation - we talked about everything - God, the Bible, Israel, books, movies, Jane Austen, her wedding ...
It was one of the best evenings I've spent with a friend ever! I've discovered that she's not moving out of the area after her wedding (in August), which is nice! And I'm honored because I got to see the contents of her 'wedding box' - in other words, her Hope Chest! She unpacked it for me and showed me crockery and candles and kitchen clothes! It was so much fun!
Yesterday, one of my sisters and I went shopping. We haven't gone shopping together forever, so it was lovely spending time together and ... you know ... just shopping! I found a denim skirt in one shop - adorable and a really good price. Unfortunately, I guess it wasn't made for someone with hips. But ... oh well ... actually, I'm getting tired of denim skirts. I want summer to come quickly so I can wear pretty skirts again!
(Actually, I wear denim skirts in the summer too, but during the winter I wear heavier ones with chunky hand-knitted sweaters. I love this style at the beginning of winter, but at the end of winter ... well ... I'm eager to wear pretty skirts and light tops again!)
I've had a busy day today, cooking and writing mainly. I took some of siblings for a walk in our favourite park this afternoon - we looked at the early spring flowers, which are so beautiful! I should have taken my camera, but of course I forgot until I was in the van and driving to the park ... ! There were some other home-schooling families at the park, which was nice!
I hope you all are having a great week!
Welcome!

Your comment was perfect! I really enjoyed reading it. Just a nice up-date, without too much thinking involved. Don't get me wrong, however, thinking is good, but real and sometimes "uninteresting" life takes place and it's fun to read about it! I'm glad you are having a good week. My week is going very good as well. I'm busy, but every week is.
I'm so glad you got to spend special time with your fiend and your sister! Every now and then my sister and I go shopping, (or rather window-shopping) stop at gas stations to pick up a coffee, cappuccino or pop and sing at the top of our lungs to the C.D. in the player. Girl days are so much fun!
Thank you again for your very nice post!
Ana, thank you for your sweet comment! :-> I'm think I'll have to try and write some more posts about 'normal' - real! - life! :-> My sisters and I sing together all the time, putting a C.D. in the player and singing along - nice and loudly, of course! :-> Anyway ... I'm glad you like this post - thank you!
*Giggles* You'd think when I re-read my comments that I'd catch the things that don't make sense and change them, like ... "Your comment was perfect!" :)I meant to say that your post was perfect! :) Silly me.
*Giggles too!* That's okay ... I guess that you meant 'post,' not 'comment'! I make mistakes like that too ... !! :->
I stumbled across your blog some time ago, Elizabeth, and just loved everything about it! Unfortunately for me, I forgot to write the address down and just now stumbled across it again! Anyways, I'm so glad that I *found* you and I'm sure that I'll be back to visit often. :)
Emme, welcome! Thank you for your kind words! :-> I'm glad you 'found' me too and hope you continue to enjoy my blog!
