The peaches are beginning to ripen and will be ready to pick in a few days. Due to a late-spring freeze, there are exactly 8 peaches on the entire tree. I guess it's better than nothing, but there won't be any homemade jam this year.
I'm grateful for... kind words filled with love and encouragement.
One of my favorite things... is this darling Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar that my cousin brought to me last month. Once upon a time my mother gave this cookie jar as a gift to her mother. Years later my grandmother passed it on to my cousin who had often enjoyed the yummy cookies that she kept in constant supply in the cookie jar. All of these years later my cousin thought that I would enjoy having this family treasure. My grandmother died a few years before I was born, so it is especially nice to have something of hers. Knowing that my own mother picked it out makes it that much more special.
This week I'm reading... Invitation to the Jesus Life Experiments in Christlikeness by Jan Johnson. This is a book that I've had to read a little at a time because it is so thought-provoking. It has challenged me to really examine my heart. This is a reference book for all of our ladies Bible study groups this fall, so I have been doing a lot of extra reading and research in preparation for teaching.
I'm looking forward to... catching up with a couple of friends this week that I haven't seen for most of the summer. I'm sure there will be a lot of laughter as we share our summer adventures.
