Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Greeting Cards Purchased

This afternoon, my daughter and I spent some time looking for Christmas cards. Thanks to a note at the bottom of my card list, presumably written by me at the end of last year, we started searching at our local Christian bookstore two days ago while on another errand, finding some good possibilities, but ultimately deciding to wait awhile before making any final choices. Today, we checked Walmart and Borders, but found nothing that compared to our previous discoveries. So as not to prolong the Christmas card shopping task, we returned to Cornerstone and purchased our initial choices. Fortunately, the cards were on sale: buy 2, get 1 free. I just love it when Christmas items are on sale so early in the season.

Other tasks completed today:
- worked on Christmas card list
- started master gift list
- briefly discussed holiday calendar with husband
