Joyful June Daybook

This is my own Cajun Cottage version of the Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my Window...

Morning coolness.

The remnants of weekend frontyard soccer/baseball games.

Uncoiled garden hoses. 

A couple of abandoned beach towels.

~ ~ ~ 

I am thinking. . . about keeping the summertime tranquil and unplanned.

~ ~ ~

I am thankful for. . .various family members who made it home safely from Colorado and cruise trips...and had a great time!!! 

~ ~ ~

From the schoolroom. . .Reading and Teaching Textbook Math continues through the summer. I had a few thoughts last night on some creative copywork...if I could only remember that brilliant idea this morning!

~ ~ ~

From the kitchen. . . planning some outside picnic suppers this week.

Tonight's menu:

• baked boudin
• BBQ spareribs in the slow cooker
• fresh cucumbers from the garden

There are plans to bake Daddy some fresh chocolate chip cookies today as well. He's had a hankering for some.

~ ~ ~

I am wearing. . . my royal blue nightgown...still honoring that first day of summer vacation.

~ ~ ~

I am creating... lots of Louisiana History plans for next year's co-op class. The children are excited. I'm excited.

~ ~ ~

I am going. . .to wash my hair as soon as I post this.

 .

~ ~ ~

I am reading. ..besides reading My GoogleReader this morning, I am reading Donna-Marie's new blog: View from the Domestic Church and the summertime sections from Susan Hill's The Magic Apple Tree: A Country Year 

~ ~ ~

I am hoping. . .to keep the summertime tranquil and unplanned while getting as much accomplished as possible. That's the plan anyway.

~ ~ ~

I am hearing. . . birds chirp and squirrels chatter outside my window. 

~ ~ ~

I am praying...for joy...always:

Fr. Alexander Schmemann wrote, “I think God will forgive everything except lack of joy; when we forget that God created the world and saved it. Joy is not one of the components of Christianity, it’s the tonality of Christianity that penetrates everything.”

~ ~ ~

Observing the Liturgical Calendar...Being lazy this month. There are plans for a VBS, if I get the information form and get the girls registered in time.

On a personal note, I still don't have my June Magnificat...haven't had time to get to the Catholic bookshop. So I've been praying chaplets in my spare time.

~ ~ ~

Around the house. . . lots of children at the house this weekend.

Got my tables and countertop cleared off. That's huge!

I'm thinking about cleaning out cabinets again because the result is so beautiful.

~ ~ ~

One of my favorite things. . .  Summertime Saturdays, beautiful, beautiful weekends spent at home with family, and lots of Sunday soccer games from dawn to dusk with a handful of players and only a handful of rules.

And my brother-in-law bringing us two or three fresh cucumbers from the garden every morning.

~ ~ ~

A few plans for the rest of the week. . .It's all about simple this summer. Things have slowed down. Joyfully so. This week we have dance lessons (prepping for end of month dance recital), babysitting class and baseball pizza party for Chelsea, and swimming...lots of swimming. My older three have full work schedules...which is not a bad thing in this economic day-and-age.

~ ~ ~

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...

the newest little Gibson cousin you all prayed into being. She arrived very tiny but very healthy and very beautiful. Thank you!

I don't know if you're heard this one, but Fr. Schmemann also said that the greatest heretic was the joyless Christian.

Congratulations on a new baby in the family!
