My Rendition of Simple Woman’s Daybook

FOR TODAY ...

simple-woman-daybook-large


Outside my window... The sun is shining but it is a mere 39 degrees.  We are expected to reach the mid 50’s today.


I am thinking... that when my grandson goes down for his nap, I will read a bit more of my book.


I am thankful for... the beautiful sunshine today.  It is glorious, bright and invigorating.

 

From the kitchen... I smell absolutely nothing except for the almost empty pot of coffee a few minutes away from burning.


I am wearing... my comfortable blue suede slipper, dark blue jeans and my long sleeve green top with black stripes down the arms.


I am creating... nothing at the moment but getting ready to work on a present for my mother’s upcoming birthday


I am going...to make baked ziti tonight for dinner…using the last of my pomodora sauce I made over the weekend.


I am reading...Water for Elephants.  My goal is to have it finished by Thursday.


I am hoping... that my headache goes away soon because I do not have insurance and cannot afford the expense. 


I am hearing... the voice of Barbara Walters on the TV from the next room

Around the house... is quite.  Peaceful. 


One of my favorite things... is when my husband brings me coffee every morning.  I love him so…

 

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

 

On our visit to Canada last May, we spent several days at the Falls.  Never were the people friendlier nor the flowers more vibrant as the gardens in Canada.  Sadly, tulips will not grow to this stature here in the South unless you dig up every bulb and place them in your freezer.  Too much work for me, thank you very much!

I hope that your head feels better. I've read that book and really enjoyed it. I was talking about it for days afterwards. The end is uplifting, I thought.
That sauce sounds really good.

I hope your headache gets better. Do the tulips stay very short there if you don't freeze the bulbs????

It's too hot for comfort here in Melbourne, Australia.

Let's swap .....

I didn't even realize that tulip bulbs actually need to chill that much to grow. One tiny perk of living in the north, I guess.

Sorry to hear of your headache. If only there were a "delete" button for things like that. May it go away soon....as in right now!

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would

Tyler Florence Made Me Breakfast!

Yes, it is true!  Tyler Florence from Food Network made me blueberry pancakes, maple sugar pepper bacon and caramelized bananas.  How did this happen, you say?  In short, my children gave me tickets to The Metropolitan Cooking Show in Atlanta as a birthday present.  Being a diehard Tyler Florence fanatic, I opted for the special show to gaze upon my favorite celebrity chef.  Not being a shy gal, I ran up to the mike to ask my very probing question.  “What is the secret of making risotto?” Here I am on the big screen asking my question to Tyler Florence. My question monopolized a good portion of the Q & A time.  Sorry, Tyler.  But I just had to know! As Tyler began to plate up his creation, he called to me over the loud speaker! Yes, me.  He called ME!  Running up to the stage, he handed me this wonderful plate and wished me a very happy birthday.  Sorry for the blurry photo, but we were shooting without the flash.  My daughter learned that a steady hand is most importa
