FOR TODAY, April 14th, 2026 ...
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW ...
There's nothing too exciting going on. Its garbage day. I always hold my breath until they take all my garbage. A new company just took over the garbage collection and they changed all the rules. No rain as of yet, but there will be four days of rain later this week the weather app says. Plus the temperatures are due to rise on Sunday.
I AM THINKING ...
It's pretty amazing that they can predict what the weather will be doing four days from now. That weather app is so precise. It will even say, rain stopping in four minutes, etc. and it does stop in four minutes. How do they know???
I AM ALSO THINKING ...
I was reading that Loblaws and Sobey's have been overcharging for their meat.
"Underweight Meat Scandal: CBC's secret shopping found Loblaw and Sobeys stores selling meat that weighed less than the labeled net weight, leading to overcharges of 2–16.7%"
That is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Food prices have risen by 30% since 2021. I think it's criminal that these big stores can get away with this crap. It's time the Government stepped in and started holding them to task for their behavior.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR ...
Enough. I am grateful that I have enough. That is all I need. If you have enough, then you are richer than most of the world.
I AM ALSO GRATEFUL FOR ...
A comfortable bed to sleep in each night. I love my Endy mattress. It's like sleeping on a big marshmallow.
IN THE KITCHEN ...
Zesty Orange Bundt Cake. It's a simple cake with wowza flavors! I had bookmarked this cake recipe on YouTube over a month ago and finally got around to baking it yesterday. Moist, delicious. Simple. I am seriously impressed.

THIS I BELIEVE ...
You can't really ask for much more than that. Each day is a gift. The bad, the good, and everything in between. Live with joy in every moment.

I AM READING ...
IN THE GREAT QUIET, by Laura Vogt
A pioneer unwaveringly endures the Oklahoma frontier in an epic adventure about a woman haunted by secrets and searching for home.
A cannon booms at high noon, and the race begins in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893.
Amid the crowd is Minnie Hoopes. Tenacious and fiercely independent, she is determined to endure the brutal frontier and create a life of her own. Guarding her solitude, she distances herself from bordering homesteaders and finds peace under the starry nights of the vast frontier. But this is outlaw country, and Minnie soon has the blood of two gunfighters on her hands. After a renegade outlaw named Stot discovers her secrets, she forms an unlikely friendship with him. With each passing season, Minnie’s past grows more haunting and threatens the future she has risked everything to build. Minnie raced into the Wild West alone, but her grandest journey in the frontier wilderness is one she never saw coming.
Based on the true story of the author’s great-great-grandparents, this sweeping and transportive survival story explores a woman’s connection with the land, her reconciliation with the past, and her elemental search for home against all odds.
Settle in, I’ve stories to tell.
I love stories based on true stories. This is really good! Yes, it does take me a long time to read a book these days. A few chapters a night is all I can manage.

*God uses broken things.
It takes broken soil to
produce a crop,
broken clouds to give rain,
broken grain to give bread,
broken bread to give strength.
