The Simple Woman’s Daybook for September 23, 2013
FOR TODAY Outside my window…Brrr. It’s 37*. So Cold. I am thinking…about school and errands and haircuts and … I am thankful…that Jason is able to work from home when he has to be on the phone so early. In the kitchen…Split pea soup for dinner.

Weekly Report for September 16-20, 2013
The first two days went well. The third went surprisingly well, considering. We had a scheduled off day on Thursday. Friday, well, Friday was no school, unscheduled. Monday, we did Circle Time and our regular schedule. Everyone accomplished the assigned work, although some folks needed more, ahem, encouragement than others. At least, that’s what I…
Wordy Wednesday: Incredible, Incomprehensible Sweep
I started Madeleine L’Engle’s The Irrational Season. I’ve been trying to avoid re-reads this year, so I’m thrilled to have some L’Engle I haven’t read. This one might be tricky, though, as it is definitely centering on her faith and ideas … and we disagree on many things. I love the way she writes, though…
Book Review: Have His Carcase by Dorothy L Sayers
Have His Carcase by Dorothy L. Sayers My rating: 4 of 5 stars Library. (and very overdue) I enjoyed reading this; fall sports extended my reading of it – children’s soccer every evening and football on the weekends really cramp my reading style 😉 It would have not normally taken such a long time to…

FOR TODAY Outside my window… the bucolic sounds of the local county fair(lawnmower racing, anyone?) I am thinking…that it’s the last day of the year I’m married to a younger man. I am thankful…for my wonderful husband. In the kitchen…ravioli and zucchini coins in the oven. Soccer practice soon! I am wearing…blue t-shirt and jeans(!)…
Weekly Report for September 9-13, 2013
We had a better week. Woohoo! Well, we had a better Thursday through Friday. But, when the end of the week is good, it seems like all of it was better, you know? Part of the reason it was better is that I remembered a couple things. First, R-girl is SIX. And only a young…
Wordy Wednesday: A Matter of Training
Some more of Sayers’ Have His Carcase: “That policeman doesn’t believe a word I’ve been saying,” [Olga] whispered anxiously, “but you do, don’t you?” “I do,” replied Wimsey. “But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it. It’s all a matter of training.” Linked to Wednesday with Words at Ordo-Amoris. Join us with…
