FOR TODAY, July 16, 2019
Outside my window ...
Its very overcast. But dry so far. You can tell it has rained during the night, but the birds are chattering and Mr. Woodpigeon is sitting on top of our rose arch awaiting his breakfast rather noisily cooing his very distinctive sound. It never varies.
I am thinking ...
How very grateful I am for modern technology. Yesterday Doug face-timed me from Tim Hortons where he was sitting with our Eileen. It was only a brief call and I was in my jim jams having just gotten out of the shower. So thankful for these kids of mine who always think of me and make the effort try to include me in their lives.
I am thankful for ...
See above!!
One of my favourite things ...
Make-believe worlds where people can live in toadstools.
In the kitchen ...
Italian Chicken Salad, topped with cheese crispies. Yum!
On my "To Cook" list ...
Good to know ...
I am creating ...
Skip to my Lou. How to make a fortune teller. I remember playing with these things for hours as a child.
I am reading ...
The Forgotten Village, by Lorna Cook
2018: Melissa had hoped a break on the coast of Dorset would rekindle her stagnant relationship, but despite the idyllic scenery, it’s pushing her and Liam to the brink. When Melissa discovers a strange photograph of a woman who once lived in the forgotten local village of Tyneham, she becomes determined to find out more about her story. But Tyneham hides a terrible secret, and Melissa’s search for the truth will change her life in ways she never imagined possible.
I only just started this last night.
I am looking forward to ...

Corners of my Kingdom ...
The Anchor, one of the oldest pubs in London, dating back 800 years. It was destroyed in 1666 during the great fire of London, but was rebuilt soon after.
And that's my daybook for this week!

ReplyDeleteSending hugs...Elizabeth xoxo
Thanks Elizabeth. It was only for a few minutes, but it did this mother's heart good! I hope and pray he lives a good many years yet also! xoxo
DeleteSo many beautiful ruffles! We made those fortune tellers, too. Always fun to be creative with the "fortunes". I'm definitely going to make the lemon smoothie. And how cute are those cookie packages made out of cupcake holders? I love the picture of the pub with the red trim. It looked like Christmas to me. Lovely you got to speak to Doug and Eileen. You and Todd are an important part of wee Grace's life. Well, off to make coffee and read the paper. Have a beautiful day, my friend. Hugs, Elaine
ReplyDeleteWe used to play with those things for hours Elaine. Also a large button and a piece of yarn for button twirlers kept us busy for days or until the yarn broke. We were easily entertained! Hope you enjoyed the coffee and paper, and that your day is equally as blessed. Love and hugs! xoxo
DeleteLove that you are hearing more ad more from the kids.LOVE.
ReplyDeleteAnd soon..the Visit:)
Ruffles and bows and chintz and old china♥
I am so happy I can step away now knowing I don't need one more dish.
That Varage Sale though oy tempations GALORE.
I mea if a few Brambly Hedges popped up..at the low low low prices..I might.
If I was younger..
I would save and buy SB mugs..one at a time:)
Love.
Oh, I would love and buy them all as well Monique (SB) but I am old and have no money and who knows where I will end up. I have one and am content with that one. (The bluebird one) I love my kids. It pains me that I have to live so far away, but hopefully it won't be forever. I end up buying something every time I go into a charity shop. I rarely go in these days just because they are so tempting! I don't need more stuff. xoxo
