Bedtime comforts


Evening prayers with my mother

Counting kitty heads... knowing that they're safely inside... and enjoying their sleepy little "murps" and soft pats as I say goodnight

The evening "toilette"

Comfy slippers

Clean sheets (on special days :))

My favorite unscented Suave lotion (a Christmas gift from my aunt & uncle this year) and my favorite Bath & Body Works lip balm



A few moments to record the day in my Country Diary (an annual and much appreciated Christmas gift from my brother & his wife)

Evening Scripture reading

Quiet time with a book for pleasure reading, when I'm not quite sleepy yet (a fairly rare treat these days...)

Alexander Scourby's voice reading Scripture as I fall asleep (the voice I've listened to since childhood)


Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Isaiah 26:3

It sounds peaceful. It's funny how we all develop these bedtime routines. The girls like to have a cup of tea in bed with a book. Courtney is my night owl. We both have trouble putting our thoughts to bed! :)

Thank you so much for the geranium tip! I printed it off to try myself. We'll see if it works!!

My lantana is peeking out from last year. I hope it will make it. I planted the lavender, mmmm it smells SO good. I hope I can keep it going, and wouldn't that be fun if it came back? My back is sore now from planting today - but it was fun. I think I'll go hit the heating pad!

p.s. I just found some new blue slippers at TJMaxx - I saw them at the mall for $20, then there they were at TJMaxx for $6! Yippee! I love new slippers, don't you?
