Sabbath Resting

Week 3 - We slept til we woke up (albeit to the sound of animals asking to be let out.) Finished off an entire pot of coffee and the rest of the loaf of banana bread, over the morning paper.

Attended an open house with our kids - We can see them in this one! The sound of football in the background for most of the day, catnaps in the recliner and on the sofa, taking both of the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood (one at a time) - it was fun to see them checking out the white flakes on their snouts. Baked a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies, and snacked on a few of them, fresh from the oven, with a good book.

A bit of time in the afternoon redoing my daily prayer cards. DH has a much better system for being faithful to those he's committed to pray for, so I'll copy his :-)

A quiet evening of dinner, then talking over our upcoming trip south, later this week, with a few last minute schedule changes. We'll leave a day early, to break up the drive and feel more human when we finally arrive, 1300 miles later.

Pajamas on soon after it turned dark, and finally I tucked myself in for the night with a cup of cocoa and one more cookie. All of this while tiny snowflakes float through the air, just enough to make the day look and feel like a Hallmark commercial. Pretty close to perfection!
