I am thinking... about a cruise we are going on next month. I am so looking forward to being warm!
I am thankful for...a good appointment at the eye doctor. Everyone in that office is so kind. Now I am just waiting for the pupils in my eyes to not be so dilated and for things to look more clear.
I am wearing... a warm, warm sweater. Duh. It's winter here in the north. And will be for the foreseeable forever.
I am going...to work on my next quilt project this week. This one is from red and white fabrics and I'm excited to see how it will turn out! I made a couple of practice blocks last week just to make sure I was going to like it before I starting in on all the cutting.
I am currently reading... a biography about James Alfred Wight, or James Herriot. He wrote the books: All Creatures Great and Small, The Lord God Made Them All, Every Living Thing, All Things Bright and Beautiful, and several others. He was a veterinarian in England. I've read those books before, probably more than 20 years ago. I plan to read through them again after I finish the biography.
I am hoping... for change. Kinda weird because I usually don't like change. But hubby and I need change. (Ask me if you want more details.)
Noticing that...I didn't care for the majority of the commercials during the Super Bowl last night and that's the only reason I was parked in front of the TV -- to watch the commercials. My favorite was the "God Made a Farmer" one.
Pondering these words... "I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." (the last part of Jeremiah 31:3) That is one of my memory verses for this year. As I've been working on memorizing it, I have been thinking about all the ways that God has shown me (and therefore drawn me to Him) with His kindness. Quite mind-blowing.
From the kitchen... I finally made a loaf of banana bread that was successful! The week before I made some, but totally under baked it. It was nice and browned on the outside, but when I dumped it out of the pan, it oozed all over the stove-top. I don't know how I thought a load of quick bread would bake in 25 minutes. The brain was not fully engaged that day.
One of my favorite things... Going out to eat with my hubby. I like just sitting there across from each other and talking with none of the distractions of home. (And not having to cook is a bonus!)
From my picture journal... Hubby gave me some Paperwhite flower bulbs for Christmas to force. We planted them a couple of weeks ago and they haven't done much. I don't know if they are duds or it just hasn't been sunny enough. I will be sad if they don't grow and bloom. I thought that was a really cool gift.

I love paperwhites-I hope they perk up. Maybe it's too cold just yet in the Great White North : )
Hoping the change is a good one!
I sure hope your paperwhites perk up. I think it was a cool gift, too. I liked the God Made a Framer commercial, as well as the Jeep one and the Clydesdale commercial.
I can't wait to see your new quilt ... I hope you'll share pictures as you work on it. I've made several blue blue and white quilts, and I'm thinking of trying a red and white one before too long.
I like change. One of the things that I'm disappointed about our open floor plan is that it doesn't lend itself to rearranging furniture. I used to rearrange furniture about every other month ... just to get a little change. I miss that.
