My Rendition of Simple Woman’s Daybook

FOR TODAY ...

simplewomandaybooklarge_thumb1


Outside my window... the dormant trees surround me but there is no tell tale sign of emerging buds


I am thinking...of someday taking a fabulous vacation as we once experienced


I am thankful for...waking to live another day to the best of my abilities by being kind and tender hearted

 

From the kitchen...I hear a quiet idleness.  The sink is clean, as always, and the counters are immaculate


I am wearing... my black Gloria Vanderbilt jeans with my three quarter sleeve sweater


I am creating...my mother’s birthday present but I am short photos of her in her younger days


I am going...to make oatmeal raisin cookies today.


I am reading...Deception Point by Dan Brown…this book was lost for about 6 months and it finally made its way


I am hoping...the employment comes our way very soon


I am hearing...noises from the living room as my hubby is rearranging the cords to the TV, recorder and other various electronic devices

Around the house...is comforting, peaceful and homey


One of my favorite things...being able to lay in bed with my book and read until I tire of reading

 

A few plans for the rest of the week…nothing exciting really, but enjoying the lull.

 

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

My roses from Valentine’s day are still looking pretty darn good!  Nothing says love like red roses.

I could never get her drawning to download on my blog. I tried everything with no success. I love reading the other writings of my fellow bloggers. Have a great week.

Things must be warmer up here in Cobb...I was out on the deck today and saw buds emerging from limbs that overhang the deck..I was happy, soon I won't be able to see the neighbor behind me....He walks around sans clothes....

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

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!

Image
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
