Clayton deploying

Clayton has been notified that he will deploy to Afghanistan mid April to mid May. This scares me and this is where my faith must be stronger than my fear.

.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7

Valentine Flowers

Yellow roses are my favorite. Not traditional for Valentine's Day but I'd rather have yellow roses any day.

Thank you, Barry!

Looking West from my front yard.
Looks like the sky was on fire.

A new pair of socks

I had a nice surprise in the mail today. A pair of socks and pin cushion from my sister-in-law, Karen, along with a sweet card. I love neat socks! It made my day!

Yes, another bread post

I am enjoying baking bread from the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Who knew it could be fun to watch a blob of dough transform into a tasty looking loaf of bread. I'm still working on the "cloaking" process which affects how the bread looks when baked. I'm making progress since my first loaf.

Home Library - Cookbooks

I am in the process of making an inventory of our home library. I started with my cookbooks. The categories are: Book, booklet, magazine, pamphlet & spiral. I've been thinking of taking each one and making at least one new dish from it.

The ones listed as a magazine are not the typical monthly subscription magazines but special items from the likes of Better Homes & Gardens and Betty Crocker. I do subscribe to several cooking magazines.

A lot of the spiral books are church cookbooks and some of my most used!

Sidney & Sophie Conversing

I want to go outside!


Are you stupid? [silly question].
It's like 20 degrees out there.
I'm staying right here until lunch.
