FOR TODAY, August 11, 2020
Outside my window ...
Everything looks benign, but that would change in an instant. If there is one thing I really know about the English weather is this . . . it is very changeable. I think it was Bob Hope who said, "Don't like the English weather? Wait five minutes."
I am thinking ...
Some days I feel like a kid sitting in the back seat of my parents car asking, "Are we there yet?" That's been this year. One long are we there yet? Can't wait for this trip to be over.
I am thankful for ...
Woke up to a very sick doggie this morning. Had a right mess to clean up, but thankfully she is sleeping now. No fun when our sweetie is not well. Fingers crossed the worst is passed.
In the kitchen ...
Refrigerator Toffee Bars. No oven involved. As simple as layering some crackers, toffee and chocolate in a pan and then chilling. Scrumptious!
On my "To Cook" list ...
Good to know ...
I am creating ...
I am reading ...
The Girls with No Names, by Serena Burdick
Effie suspects her father has made good on his threat to send Luella to the House of Mercy and hatches a plan to get herself committed to save her sister. But she made a miscalculation, and with no one to believe her story, Effie’s escape from the House of Mercy seems impossible—unless she can trust an enigmatic girl named Mable. As their fates entwine, Mable and Effie must rely on each other and their tenuous friendship to survive.

And I do too!
How is your sore neck this morning, Marie? I hope it is much better. And poor Mitzie, feel better soon. Those toffee bars sure look good. And how sweet is the dear little seeing kit? It was another hot day here yesterday. Hope it's cooler today. We need a nice, bright, crisp fall day to perk us all up. The seasons are changing and we must change with them. Keep the faith. Hugs and love, Elaine
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response Elaine. My neck was still sore and I had so much work to do yesterday I didn't have time to play! Mitzie was still sick this morning. Its miserably hot again today! I can't wait until autumn, not to wish my life away or anything! Love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteYou have been cleaning up for the past two mornings..oh lala hope you and Mitzi are far better now..take care..used to love Newhart!
ReplyDeleteMake it three Monique, again this morning. She is not getting anything to eat today. Not a jot! Whew! xoxo
DeleteHi, Marie! Sooo GOOD to catch up with you! It's been a very, very changeable summer here in Norway! July was the coldest on record for 50 years. Today is 25 C--so a little taste of summer before it disappears... haha! I'm with you on the feeling of this year. I say to TJ, it's like the year that never was! It's hard to be hopeful about 2021, what with the likelihood of Covid-19 around for some time to come. So sorry sweet Miss Mitzie was ill this morning... Hope she OK! Ooo... LOVE all the crochet goodness here today! I really like the log cabin-style crochet blanket ideas! That little bee-theme sewing kit/basket is lovely! Hope your week is off to a good start, sweet friend... LOVE to you all there! ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy! I like a lot of these as well. Too many projects and not enough time! Love and hugs to you and TJ! xoxo
DeleteOur actions do always come with conesequence so we much remember to make good choices. That book sound like a good one I will check it out. Happy Tuesday ! Sunny here today!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam! Hot and muggy here again today! xoxo
DeleteThat quote at the end is a really good one.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do remember my children asking over and over: "are we there yet". i am with you wanting to get through this one soon.
I'm sad that your sweet Mitzie isn't feeling well. I hope she get's better quickly. I noted that she was going to get groomed and you didn't know whether to do that are not. That would be hard to know. Prayers for your fur baby they are so precious to us.
Praline Cream Pie looks so yummy!
I liked the summer safety chart; it's a good one.
Very cute crocheted items. Thanks for the link to doing the different edges.
You always seem to have some great novels to read; this looks like an intriguing one.
I do love farmer's markets. Bunnies are so cute; loved the photo.
Sending love and hugs your way!
