I have such great plans for staying home today! I will bake brownies and plan a special supper. I want to finish most of my work early so I can catch up on some reading. I hope to spend the afternoon outside.
Yesterday was delightful. I visited with Nana (who lives downstairs in our large old 1800's house). Then I took a long walk with Amy (16). She wanted to walk and walk and walk. I worried I would wear out, but didn't complain. I was happy she wanted to spend time with me! We laughed and talked and had a nice time, despite the massive heat.
We also took a detour and visited the local, rural museum. We were shown a 1908 "record player." It had a crank that had to be wound up before the music would play. We heard a song about "Lucky Lindbergh." It was quaint and charming! Before we left, we were asked to sign the guest book. We will visit there again. They are only open for a few hours, once a week, throughout the summer months.
Today, will be even more special. I plan to do my work quickly and early. I want to have plenty of leisure to visit with the family and be in a hospitable and relaxed mood.
It is still very quiet here, but the sun has risen. I want to do my Prentiss study before anyone wakes up. I want to have some tea and sit near the window and enjoy the fresh morning breezes.
Blessings
Mrs. White
