FOR TODAY, September 22, 2020
Outside my window...
It is still dark. The sun is just beginning to rise. It was dark at 7:30 last night. I cannot believe the days are drawing in so quickly and I can't believe we are already nearing the end of September.
I am thinking ...
I really hate things changing. This switch to the new blogger has been really hard for me. I still edit all of my photo in Picassa and that is an old, old program that is no longer available. Why do I use it. Because I know how to use it and am comfortable with it. I haven't found a new program that quite comes up to it. I hate change. I like old slippers and old books. And yes, old friends.
I am thankful for ...
Old slippers, old books and old friends.
In the kitchen ...
Today I am sharing my Victoria Sponge Cake. I was unable to upload any photos onto any of my blogs yesterday for some odd reason, so today you get an old recipe, but one of my favourite recipes!
On my "To Cook" list ...
From Cookies and Cups. Garbage Bread. This looks fantastic!
Good to know ...

I am reading ...
Meeting Christ in the Book of Mormon, by Ryan H Sharp
This inspiring book from popular CES speaker Ryan Sharp demonstrates how your favorite scriptural heroes were able to connect with the Divine and can help you in your own spiritual journey.
Be inspired by:
Nephi’s steadfastness
Alma the Elder’s and Alma the Younger’s conversion
The conviction of King Lamoni, his father
The Anti-Nephi-Lehis
Captain Moroni’s obedience
Mahonri Moriancumer’s faith
Along with many others.
This book shows how mortal men came to know the Savior. Learn to meet Him as they did by following in their footsteps and discovering Christ in new and profound ways.
This was recommended to me by a friend. I am really enjoying the spiritual insights in this book.
Dreaming About ...
Thatched roofs . . .
Green doors . . .
A doll house with many floors . . .
Warm socks . . .
Pottery mugs . . .
Something to watch ...
Catching up again with Anne with an E.
Makes me smile ...

*The most beautiful turn of events
is when obstacles that were meant
to tear you down,
end up strengthening you
in ways you could never have imagined.
