The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

  

FOR TODAY, July 6th, 2021

Outside my window...
Its quite overcast and I think we are going to have a pretty rainy day. Yesterday was beautifully sunny, but a nice sunny, not too hot or humid.  I loved it!  Sunshine, warm, not humid! What's not to love about that!

I am thinking ...
63 years ago my parents gave me the best gift I ever got in my life. My sister!  Happy Birthday to my wonderful sister who has been my best friend for 63 years now! I love her so much.  She's an incredibly woman filled with talent and compassion for others.  I think she is pretty amazing. I can't wait to see her later on! 

I am thankful for ...
The gift of a sister! Not everyone has one. I am blessed! 

In the kitchen ... 

 

Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing. Quick, easy and delicious. 

On my "To Cook" list ... 
 


Gonna Want Seconds.  Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas.  These look incredible!

I am reading ... 

 

The Magic of Ordinary Days, by Ann Howard Creel

The powerful story of one woman’s passion in a world at war. Olivia Dunne, a studious minister’s daughter who dreams of becoming an archaeologist, never thought that the drama of World War II would affect her quiet life in Denver. But when an exhilarating flirtation reshapes her life, she finds herself in a rural Colorado outpost, married to a man she hardly knows. 

Overwhelmed by loneliness, Olivia tentatively tries to establish a new life, finding much needed friendship and solace in two Japanese American sisters who are living at a nearby internment camp. When Olivia unwittingly becomes an accomplice to a crime and is faced with betrayal, she finally confronts her own yearnings and comes to understand what she truly believes about the nature of trust and love. 

Very good.

I am looking forward to ...
Having the family over later today to celebrate my sister's birthday.  Going shopping with Eileen on Friday.  Lots going on this week!
