The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

  

FOR TODAY, December 29th, 2021

Outside my window ...

It has snowed during the night. Everything looks cool, pristine and silent. I love the silence after a snowfall. You could hear a pin drop.

I am thinking ...

Apparently several of the people who agreed to do endorsements of my new book haven't done so. Now the publisher is on at me for not fulfilling my contractual obligations.  I wish people wouldn't say they will do something and then not do it.  I am grateful for those who did endorse it however. Now I need to find someone else, and quickly.  NOTE - an endorsement is not the same as a review of the book.  There were only three endorsements needed and they were simply a few lines about me as a person, writer, cook, blogger, etc.  The actual reviews of the book are entirely different and I am totally in line with those!  Sorry for any confusion!

I am thankful for ...

Family. My health. My home. My faith. I have much to be grateful for. 

In the kitchen ... 

Cordon Bleu Sliders for two.  With turkey, ham, a honey-mustard mayo, cranberry horseradish sauce and swiss cheese.  Topped with everything bagel spice. These made a nice light lunch. Delicious! (I know, I say that about everything, but it' true!) 

On my "To Cook" list ... 

A Wicked Whisk.  This looks like a refreshing way to begin the day! 

Good to know ... 

 

From Mother's Niche.  

I am wanting to create ... 

Yesterday afternoon I went over to my sisters and we did some art together.  We did a Mini Monday Madness from Ellen Crimi-Trent on YouTube.  This was mine. Mind didn't turn out to look overly much like hers, but its okay.

Purl Soho on Ravelry. Love these vintage baby patterns. 

Cannot find the source, but love this. 

Still loving this.  Sigh . . .  

 

FAb ARt DIY  Another version I like even more! 

I am reading ... 

SAFE PASSAGE, by Carla Kelly

It’s 1912, the beginning of the Mexican Revolution—and the Mormon colonists must flee to the United States. When his estranged wife is mistakenly left behind, Ammon Hancock goes back to rescue her. But when he finds her, he must coax her to follow him to safety… and maybe even love him again. This revolution could be the very thing that ends their war of hearts. 

I have read several of Carla's books in the past and really enjoyed them.

Outside my back door this morning  . . . .

A thought to carry with you  ...

 *.˛.At two o’clock in the morning, 

if you open your window and listen, 

You will hear the feet of the Wind 

that is going to call the sun. 

And the trees in the Shadow rustle 

and the trees in the moonlight glisten, 

And though it is deep, dark night, 

you feel that the night is done.

~Rudyard Kipling•。★★ 。* 。 

And that's my daybook for this week  . . .
