coffee and quilts

Today is a special day.  It has started with coffee and quilts.  I wish everyday started like this.  Since the family thanksgiving dinner was last night and my girls got properly spoiled, they are sleeping in this morning and I am enjoying the rare quiet.  Yesterday I worked hard to get my huge list of house stuff done.  I actually did it! I completed the list....well I skipped cleaning the fridge.  It can wait til I get back.  Gary and I are going away today for our first over night without the kids.  We are going to Gananoque Inn and starting our mini vacation with a 1000 island boat cruise.  My parents are coming this morning to stay over night with the kids.  I am not jealous of them.  My huge heavy girls can be unhappy when mommy is not here.  They do love there nanny and poppa though......maybe things will be fine.
I have so much to be thanksful for.  I love my sewing room,  I love that the laundry is done.  I love that I can create and have balance in my life between 'me time' and being mom...if I work hard at it.  I love that my husband and I still both make an effort in our relationship.  I love that I can hear him starting the 4-wheeler to go put the cows out to field because the milking is done.  I am thankful for my old complicated moody house that takes a lot of work.  I love the fall morning smell of leaves, fresh cold air and farm.  This is the day that the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
