a lovely day
i am tired and it is dark, much too soon. but it has been a lovely day and so far a lovely vacation. the vacations are far too short but it has done me a world of good i think.
this evening i will do a little more laundry, and hopefully some reading. i have been trying for the the longest time to finish Marilynne Robinson's latest book Home. it is a lovely book and i enjoy every second of reading it but i have had so many things to occupy my time that reading gets pushed to the side in favor of time with my man or time with my family and or house work.
saturday will bring me back to the real world i am afraid, teaching a saturday morning schedule is really not ideal for me. however my favorite students happen to fit into this schedule. not just my favorite but some of my best. they are diligent and focused but also they have a teachable spirit and willingness to take correction unlike some of my other very talented students who don't fall on saturday. i really do love teaching and i never really thought i would love it this much. Lord has blessed me so much to be able to be so successful at somehting i love so much.
my family, or at least most of them, are coming tomorrow. my oldest brother and his family are driving as i type down to central mississippi from their home in north mississippi to visit my parents. tomorrow all of them are driving down here to our house, just north new orleans. i am planning to bake a coffee cake for a mid morning snack when they arrive.
we live in a quaint small, south louisiana town . . . a town that actually claims to be the antique capital of the country. ponchatoula. . .yeah took me forever to remember how to spell it. this town is so quaint and strange even that it even has an alligator with his own pond and everything in a cage in the center of town. i plan to take my nephew to visit it tomorrow. what six year old boy would not get a kick out of that?
