Yesterday was Walmart again. It seems like I was just there. I probably would have waited until Friday but it was supposed to rain again today, tomorrow and Saturday. It is raining right now. While I was at Walmart I picked this up...........I have never bought one of these coloring books for myself. This one intrigued me because after you color the picture it is 'peel and stick'. I could use them on envelopes, stationary, a picture to frame and who knows what else. Fun times ahead!
I also had to drop off some books at the library so I picked up a few more as long as I was there! LOL! Actually, this one I got last time but haven't read it yet. Mama Pea have you read her? She's wonderful if you like 'the old days' and pioneer times. There's no order to reading them; they are all unique stories and so good!
Mama Pea (BTW she is A Homegrown Journal on my sidebar) also mentioned Nancy Thayer who I had never read so I picked up the one and only book they had by her. I can't wait to try a new author. I love recommendations from friends as we seem to travel in the same circles and usually enjoy the same things.
I have heard of Ann Patchett for years but have never read anything of hers so I decided it was about time.....
and then this book caught my eye............I read the first chapter and it's accompanying recipes last night. This is a great cookbook to read as it is based on Southern food that is brought to funerals. She includes actual obituaries too.....some are hysterical. The author is from Memphis and most of the obits are too. Great recipes although there were no cookie recipes. Southerners seem to be cake eaters. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
It was nice to stay home today. It seems like lately there have been outings of some type of errand every day. I finally got the kitchen and laundry room floors vacuumed and washed.........my step-father built this house and there are big rooms with lots of floor....same in the kitchen but hardly any countertop space and designed by someone who did not use a kitchen! I think he was a wanna be architect. That's Annie eating her supper. The girls eat at 3:30 and then when the time changes they will eat at 4:30. I really wish they would stop that time change business.....who ever thought of that.....it's crazy.
I sat down a few times to knit. I had made a mistake and had to tear back so I put in an afterthought lifeline and it worked! I was so proud of myself and then I did it again as I misunderstood the directions for the gusset. Hopefully I am doing it right but this toe-up has me confused. That doesn't take much though. The stripes really made the tear back easy.
I hope you had an enjoyable day. I am off to warm up some supper, get my jammies on and curl up in bed with books, handwork and the remote! LOL! Oh, and my coloring book. It's a cozy rainy night so I'll probably light a candle too.
Happy Trails!!!
P.S. Thank you for the prayers.....they worked! Amy and Uriah both went back to school yesterday but now Sam is sick. Isn't that the way of it?
