FOR TODAY, July 19th, 2022

Outside my window ...

Its overcast and it has been raining. There are puddles on the road in front of the house. My two little munchkins are sitting in the basket in front of the window on chipmunk watch.

I am thinking ...

Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I looked around me and thought to myself, a year and a half ago I arrived back in Canada totally broken, with two suitcases and a carry on. Here I am now, having built a life for myself, in my own place, comfortable and with all that I am in need of, surrounded by family.  Thanks to the Grace of God.  I am so blessed.

I am thankful for ...

I have so much to be thankful for.  How much time do you have? The journey which has brought me to where I am has been filled with much love and a multitude of miracles.  Again, I am blessed. May I never take any of it for granted.

In the kitchen ...

Cherry Crumble Cake.  Very cherrilicious!

On my "to cook" list ...

 

Maria's Italian Kitchen.  Bocconotti Cookies.  These look fabulous! Filled with fig preserves.

I am reading ... 

THE HONEY THIEF, Elizabeth Graver

The summer that eleven-year-old Eva is caught shoplifting (for the fourth time), her mother, Miriam, decides the only solution is to move out of the city to a quiet town in upstate New York. There, she hopes, they can have the normal life she longs for. But Miriam is bound by a past she is trying to forget, and tensions escalate. It is only when Eva meets a reclusive beekeeper that she-and her mother-can find their way back to each other, and can begin life with renewed promise. A haunting novel of memory and desire, The Honey Thief reveals the healing power of friendship and the ineradicable bonds of mother and child.

I am looking forward to ...

Going to the movie tonight with Glenna and Jacquie. Its the new Elvis movie. I hope it lives up to the hype.

Dreaming about ...

Hoosier Cabinets  . . . 

Old metal canisters  . . . 

Chrome Dinette sets  . . . 

 

Vintage linens  . . . 

A collection of cherries  . . . 

Something to watch ...

Re-watching Friday Night Lights on Crave  . . . 

Makes me smile ...

Daytrips with my sister.  We went to Walmart yesterday and Giant Tiger and then we decided to check out the Spurrs farm market.  They had some really beautiful vegetables and fruits there.  This was my dinner yesterday. Some leftover beef I had in the freezer and beautiful fresh veggies.

Corners of my kingdom ...

Mr. Personality, my little Lion King  . . .  Mr. Freckle-nose himself.

Can't leave out my little Princess . . . 

A thought to carry with you ...
