FOR TODAY, December 29th, 2020
Outside my window ...
Its cold and clear. No snow. Just cold. Not complaining. Just happy to be here.
I am thinking ...
This is the last Simple Woman's Daybook for this year, and what a year it has been. One for the record books for sure.
I am thankful for ...
Faith, family, friends. Good health. Security. Peace.
In the kitchen ...
This was my very first recipe of 2020 that I shared. Garlic & Parmesan Crispy Potatoes. It was a great way to start the year.
On my "To Cook" list ...
Delicious Magazine. Gennaro Contaldo's Porchetta. This looks fabulously delicious.
Good to know ...
I am wanting to create ...

LeeLee Knits. Soft and cosy leg warmers.
Made by Joel. Paris in an Altoid Tin.

I am reading ...
The Confession Club, by Elizabeth Berg
In
this uplifting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The
Story of Arthur Truluv, good friends discover that the things we fear
revealing to others can be the very things that bring us closer
together.
When
a group of friends in Mason, Missouri, decide to start a monthly supper
club, they get more than they bargained for. The plan for congenial
evenings—talking, laughing, and sharing recipes, homemade food, and
wine—abruptly changes course one night when one of the women reveals
something startlingly intimate. The supper club then becomes Confession
Club, and the women gather weekly to share not only dinners, but
embarrassing misdeeds, deep insecurities, and long-held regrets.
They
invite Iris Winters and Maddy Harris to join, and their timing couldn't
be better. Iris is conflicted about her feelings for a charming but
troubled man, and Maddy has come back home from New York to escape a
problem too big to handle alone. The club offers exactly the kind of
support they need to help them make some difficult decisions.
I am really enjoying this!
Dreaming about ...
The thrill of sledding. That I could do. You can sit while doing it, lol.
The smell and taste of home smoked bacon. Thick cut and delicious . . .

Home made noodles . . . so delicious . . .

A paper bag of fresh donuts . . .

Drool worthy burger and fries . . .
Something to watch ...
Virgin River on Netflix. I love, LOVE this show!
Makes me smile ...
This Christmas photo from 9 years ago. I had sent all the grandsons matching pajamas. This is Jon and Josh. Look at how small they were. So cute.
Corners of my kingdom ...
Nova Scotia sunset. Taken at the shore. Cottage Cove. We have the best sunsets in the world I think. I know I am a bit biased.
A thought to carry with you ...
