On my old blog, I used to do a Front Porch chat post each week. I thought I would do it here in place of the Simple Woman's Daybook since our friend Peggy doesn't seem to currently blogging much.
Today is Sunday, November 12, 2023
Time - 7:40 a.m.
Scene - It looks like a beautiful morning. Cold but the sun is shining. The yard is clear of leaves but there is a breeze so I'm sure there will be more leaves down soon.
Today's plan - We have to get the cabin cleaned and ready for the next guest coming in at 3:00 today. After that, I need to do a couple loads of laundry and get ready for the work week.
Drinking - Coffee with Pumpkin Spice creamer
Listening to - Bill Gaither's Holiday station on Pandora. It's a mixture of hymns and Christmas music.
Reading - I am about 400 pages into a 1000-page book... Sons of Encouragement: Aaron, Caleb, Jonathan, Amos, and Silas by Francine Rivers
In November I am reading 2 Samuel, James, 1, 2, 3 John, and Jude in NKJV, ESV, NASB, MSG. I may not make it through all the versions of every book, but I will sure try.
Watching - If I watch television at all it has been NCIS. Since Newsmax started charging for their viewing I have not been watching any news. I don't pay for any channels or streaming apps. Last night I looked up a series that my friend Linda shared, Monarch of the Glen. It's a British series. I got through the first episode and will be watching more.
Randomness - Yesterday after we finished picking up the leaves off the yard I went and visited with our daughter and grandbaby! I must really wear her out. After playing with Mimi for an hour she crashes in my arms and takes her nap. Then she is ready to go again! She is such a happy little thing! Here are a few pictures to put smiles on your face! LOL!
After spending about four hours with them I went and did my grocery shopping for Thanksgiving dinner. I was shocked to find that Walmart did not have everything that I needed. Mostly the bread cubes for my stuffing! When I asked, they said they didn't have it out yet. What?! They directed me to box stuffing! As if! My family would revolt if I made that stuff! Lol!
Next week I'll have some Thanksgiving to share!
I hope you all have a blessed week!

I enjoyed your front porch chat, Monica. That granddaughter of yours just makes me want to reach through my monitor screen and pick her up for a hug. She's the sweetest thing.
