I Was Sleepy

We thought we might take our kids out for a ride this afternoon, but when we came home from church to eat lunch, a strange sleepiness came over me. It was cold outside and not much warmer inside. James lit a fire in the stove. Suddenly I couldn't imagine going out and traipsing around even though the skies were sunny and the leaves bright and beautiful. Someone turned on the TV and popped in a "Hogan's Heros" DVD. I curled up in a blanket, snuggled up next to Hannah on the couch, and dreamed about yesterday's walk in the woods...

  2. What a lovely group of pictures, and I just love the one of you and you and Rachel!!

    Pictures really bring us together.. In fact I really feel like I've known you for years.

    BTW the Pastor's daughter (age 9) told me today my Chili was the best, and she can't believe I didn't win....she also like my chocolate chip cookies. Maybe next year... This afternoon Don told me I need to make another pot this week...which I will do!!

    LOL:) Wanda

  5. No wonder you didn't want to go. Such a great time to remember in dreams. Glad you got to snuggle and be quiet with the family. Good times, eh?

  10. It looks like you two had a great day! I can relate to your restaurant experience. It seems like you always get bad service when you are REALLY hungry!!! Glad you found better service elsewhere.

  11. This is a very beautiful, scenic spot. I would love to go walking here with my dog. I find creeks so interesting, you never know what is around the bend as you meander up them. Maybe a little waterfall, or an interesting stone, or something unique in the water.
