The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

FOR TODAY, March 29th, 2022

Outside my window ...

Its snowing. Not a lot, just a fine snow. There is not much accumulation. It is supposed to stop by mid-afternoon.

I am thinking ...

My youngest grandson is turning two today. I am sure he will have a happy birthday.  I  mailed his Birthday present to him. I hope he gets it in time. I got him a couple of books that his father used to love me to read to him when he was a toddler. I thought perhaps my son would enjoy reading them to his own son.  I used to read to all of my children and I know what each of their favorite books were because I had them practically memorized from reading them so often. 

I'm also thinking about Will Smith getting all Jiggy at the Oscars.  Not sure what to think about that really.  Its a sign of the times I guess. People lacking in self control. There is a time and a place.  So not the place.

I am thankful for ...

My other three children who love me unconditionally. My sister, Dan, dad, my brother and his family and all of my friends. My faith. My home. My cats.  My life. Its not perfect, but its as good as its going to ever be and I am grateful for it.

In the kitchen ... 

Yogurt Cake. Its simple really.  A beautiful cake to fulfil an "I want cake" craving. 

On my "to Cook" list ... 

New York Times  . . .  every day all purpose biscuits. What can I say?  I am a sucker for a good biscuit recipe. And when I see a new recipe I have to try it. There is no shortening in these. Just butter.

Good to know ... 

 

I am wanting to create ... 

Homemade At My Place, Granny Bunny. 

 

Jessica Paz Creates. Mug Nest Coasters. 

 

Knitty Kids. No patterns. Just eye candy. Seriously cute. 

 

Son's Popkes.  Free crochet bumble bee. 

Nyanpon.  Cat mouse. Simple. 

I am reading ...

Waymaker, Ann Voskamp 

We can trust that God, the WayMaker, is always at work creating the life of our dreams, through ways we never would have dreamed for ourselves.

In a disorienting world, with obstacle after obstacle, and the landscape of our lives shifting in ways we never expected, we can trust that as we look to our Maker, the WayMaker, our road will lead us to arrive exactly where we always hoped it would, though maybe not at all in the way we imagined. And those dreams for our lives? They can still happen—in ways only He perfectly dreamed of. 

It is true: heartache, grief, suffering, obstacles, they all come in waves. There is no controlling life’s storms; there is only learning the way to walk through the waves. In WayMaker, bestselling author Ann Voskamp hands us a map that makes meaning of life, that shows the way through to the places we’ve only dreamed of reaching, by a way we never expected. Voskamp reveals how God is present in the totality of our lives, making a way

• for the marriage that seems impossible,
• for the woman who longs for a child of her own,
• for the parents who ache for the return of their prodigal,
• for the sojourner caught between a rock and a hard place, and
• for the wayfarer who feels as though there is no way through to her dreams.  

 

We can encounter the WayMaker in surprising ways and begin to see Him not only making poetry out of pain but working in every miraculous detail of our lives. Even now, the Way is making the way to walk through waves and into a life more deeply fulfilling than our wildest dreams.

I have only just started it.

I am looking forward to ...

General Conference this weekend. I've been listening to a talk a day in preparation for it. Its interesting how I am learning new things from the talks that I had not picked up on already.

Dreaming about ...

Pretty butter dishes  . . . 

Vintage pink  . . . 

Vintage table cloths . . . 

Vintage tin  . . . 

Vintage Pyrex  . . .  

Something to watch ... 

Bridgerton on Netflix  . . . 

Makes me smile ... 

She's so cute. She loves her belly rubs.   I love her pink nose and little pink paws, her marmalade coloured fur. Her sweet disposition.

Corners of my kingdom ... 

Is March going out like a lion?

A thought to carry with you ...
