The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

  

FOR TODAY, June 22nd, 2021

Outside my window ...

Its overcast at the moment, but it looks as if it might burn off and we are in for another sunny warm day.  Oopsies, no, just checked the weather forecast on my iPad and it says cloudy with showers and sunny intervals. 

I am thinking ... 

Still thinking about that question. Who do you need God to be? 

I am thankful for ...

My God, my family, my talents, my life.  I have much to be grateful for!

In the kitchen ... 

 

White Gazpacho.  This was delicious and such a simple soup to make.  Using very few ingredients. It was also very pretty.  I quite simply loved it!  Very refreshing on a hot day. 

On my "To Cook" list ... 

 

My Incredible Recipes. Creamy Garlic Chicken with Asparagus. 

One of my favourite things ...  

 

My bug zapper.  Let me tell you, it does an amazing job. I accidentally touched it myself yesterday and wow, what a jolt!  I almost feel sorry for the little critters now! Amost.

I am wanting to create ... 

 

Fran Morgan on Ravelry.  Floral Diamonds Jumper.  Love this. 

  

Thoresby Cottage.  Crochet Poppies.  Very pretty. 

 

Just Pootling.  Summer Daisy Garland.

 

Annie Design Crochet.  Multi layer flowers. 

 

Crafty Cruella.  Granny Hug Scarf.  I would leave off those garish pompoms however and just do yarn pompoms. 

I am reading ... 

Grace, by T Greenwood

Trevor Kennedy is 13 years old and has no idea where he fits in the world. Teachers used to praise his sensitivity and diligence — now they shake their heads at him, calling him a problem child.

Only his art Grace cover teacher seems to care about understanding him anymore — and gives him the amazing gift of a camera. Trevor increasingly hides from the world in the photographs he takes. He observes life around him, hoping that by refraining from participating, he won’t cause any more trouble for himself or his family.

And indeed, the Kennedy family has its share of problems. Kurt is struggling to make ends meet with the family business — not knowing how he’s going to make his next mortgage payment and can’t share his burden with the family. Meanwhile, Elisabeth feels like a failure of a mother. While she dotes on her daughter, Grace, she can’t seem to summon any sort of maternal love for Trevor. What’s more, unaware of her family’s financial problems, Elisabeth increasingly turns to retail therapy to make her miserable life a little more pleasant. 

 Grace portrays a family on the brink of destruction. Trevor can no longer keep silent when boys come to bully him — and fighting back only creates more problems. Through his photographs, he experiences a new world, but they may not be enough to exorcise the demons that plague the Kennedy family. As each family member sinks to new depths, they find themselves on a collision course with fate from which there may be no turning back. 

Have only just started this book. So far so good. 

I am looking forward to ... 

My zoom meeting this afternoon with the Stonehawkers.  Also being able to go back to church after the 4th of July.
