Time to Get Organized for 2024
Happy New Year everyone! I hope yours was safe and healthy. We spent the weekend putting away our Christmas decorations. Every year I swear I will put up half of what I normally do, but somehow I bend to pressure and put it all out again. Well, our house has been "hushed" as they say.…

Quilts Of 2023
2023 was a good year for quilting. I finished up a few UFOs for sure (which was a goal I set for myself) and tackled some brand-new projects as well. Best of all I sent out a number of tops that had been finished for ages to the quilter. What a good feeling to finally…

Christmas Books
Santa was good to me this year when he left a lot of great books under the tree. Actually, the books are from my son and daughter and I am happy to say that they chose so well! Ahren gave me two books by Irish authors that I love, The Bee Sting by Paul Murray…

Well, That Didn’t Go Well
Well, that certainly did not go well. I invited some family members over for dinner to celebrate the holidays and to visit with our son while he is staying with us. I wanted to make something delicious that I could prepare ahead and that would please everyone. I chose a turkey lasagna recipe from Ina…

Last Books of 2023
I have a few last books of 2023 to share, and they are some darn good ones. I finally finished Covenant of Water, which was excellent, but I can't give it a full five-star rating because at 700 some pages, it was just Too. Long. Good grief I was glad to close that book after…

Nothing But Cooking Going On
Honestly, it seems as if all we have been doing is cooking. I made bread in the bread machine and I am not sure what the special juju was, but it was the biggest and best-formed loaf I have ever gotten out of the thing. It was nice that the bread turned out because things…

Cooking, Shopping, and Hanging Out
Not much is going on here. Lots of cooking, some shopping, and much relaxed hanging out together. What a delight it is for us to be able to be in each other's company again! On Ahren's first night home, we made clam chowder, which turned out delicious. It does not photograph well, but along with…

Best Books of November
I think this year I have gotten much better at picking books that I thoroughly love. I have read so many 4, 4.5, and 5 star books this year! It's a new record, for sure. I have read nearly 140 books this year, which is also a record for me. I am happy to say…

Christmas Craft Projects and Dinner Shortcuts
Who can resist this face? Archie seems kind of chilly since his haircut Monday, so we put a sweater on him. At first, he wanted to eat it but has thankfully given up that notion. I laugh every time I look at him with those fuzzy floppy ears. He is adorable. You can probably tell…
