The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

FOR TODAY, August 18th, 2020 

Outside my window ... 

 

Sometimes a photograph can say more than I possibly could. Heavy rain. 

I am thinking ... 

My son shared the directives from the NB Government this morning concerning back to school for their pupils. Scary stuff.  I am not sure how I would feel as a parent sending my children back to school. I know how I feel as  a grandparent. Nooooo!!!! For those who are capable, I would be seriously considering Home Schooling. 

I am thankful for ... 

Two days with a well doggie.  Hopefully this will continue! 

In the kitchen ...

The Girls with No Names, by Serena Burdick 

Not far from Luella and Effie Tildon’s large family mansion in Inwood looms the House of Mercy, a work house for wayward girls. The sisters grow up under its shadow with the understanding that even as wealthy young women, their freedoms come with limits. But when the sisters accidentally discover a shocking secret about their father, Luella, the brazen older sister, becomes emboldened to do as she pleases. But her rebellion comes with consequences, and one morning Luella is mysteriously gone.


 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.

Something to watch ... 

 

Dirty John, Season 2 on Netflix.  This hits very close to home. Compelling.  The acting in this is brilliant. Although I know its just acting, I am starting to hate Christian Slater lol

Makes me smile ...
