And What Are You Up To This Saturday?




IF YOU READ THIS, I'd love it if you'd leave a short description depicting something about your day thus far...the weather, what you plan to eat, what you're doing, reading, saying, feeling, whatever... as long as it starts with a letter (or letters) found in the word 'Saturday'.
S - soft gray skies
A - appreciating my hubby as he does the errands this morning
T - trying to stay quiet of body and mind after a busy week
U - underlining a few ponderable quotes (see below)
R - re-reading Jan Karon's In This Mountain and vintage March issues of Victoria
D - delighting in a pottering, snoozing, simple kind of day 
A - admiring the gift of Mozart's music as it cheery notes waft through the house 
Y - Yummy thoughts of making a quick apple strudel - hubby's reward (see above)




Here are three sayings I marked when I read them in Jan Karon's novel... good thoughts to ponder further:

"Live deep instead of fast." ~ Henry Canby

"We're always getting ready to live, but never living." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

"The cheerful heart has a continual feast...a merry heart does good like medicine."  ~ Book of Proverbs


Wishing you a beautiful Saturday.......hugs and blisses....

  6. Hi Brenda! I hope you are having a wonderful saturday. Let's see, I overdid my back a bit yesterday and have been resting today. It is a beautiful spring day, the grass seemed to turn green overnight. My dog Barkley had a bath and he is so soft and fluffy, I have been holding and petting him every time he walks by. The house is quiet today, which is very relaxing. Hubby is off in the garage tinkering and my mother-in-law has gone to a baby shower. I have been watching re-runs of Dr. Who and old Betty Davis movies. What a combination! I have also started crocheting a new afghan for our guest room. It is a lacy pattern with a pineapple design done in soft ivory yarn. I hope you have a lovely weekend! Delisa ;)

    Add a trip to town for my daughter and groceries.
    Talk with my mother -in -law.
    Use my children to help put groceries away.

    As the sun is shining.
    Yesterday will be here before I know it!!
    Thanks, Brenda!!!
