Book Report!!!

Whew!

Finally finished this...and I must say the last 150 pages were yummy...except for one thing...grrrr...can't reveal it but totally unnecessary for this animal lover!
Double grrrr...


Just finished this...not my usual kind of book...definitely middle grades to adult...who really cares if you are a grown up and love kid books...anyway...
It was really good! A sort of travel back in time book with the main character a boy who is bullied, sad, lost and lonely. He finds a little green book...opens it and is in 1802 Tennessee! Davy Crockett, Cherokee, lots of bad guys and houses that look like Laura Ingalls Wilder's house. And...the book was his dad's...anyway...I loved it!



Now...I have no clue what to read next...there is no rhyme or reason to what I am choosing...I love it!

I am leaning toward this one because I read fab reviews about it.


Or one of these!





As of this minute...I remain undecided...I am taking a break and watching Supernatural...yikes!

Wednesday's Snippets!

Ok...so I am not really sure what a snippet actually is...but I like the sound of it...truly I do...

Snippet # 1...my favorite pumpkin!




Snippet # 2...my favorite new top...came yesterday!




Snippet # 3...this week's sandwich...cheese and pickle!

Den used to work for a British company so we went to London all of the time...my
brother is in London...which gave me a craving for my favorite tea sandwich...very sharp cheddar cheese and a dab of Branston Pickle on coarse whole grain bread. Yum!
Luckily we can find Branston Pickle here.



Snippet # 4...still reading this! This is just not like me at all!



Snippet # 5...

I ended up cooking yesterday anyway because my lovely car wasn't ready...the car guys found a crack in the wiper fluid thing so they had to order in a new one...so last night's Mexican food is happening tonight...they make a house made Margarita mix so...Ole everyone!


Happy Wednesday!

It's The "I Got Books" Issue!

I can not believe I am still reading this...and it's because I refuse to not finish it. I think that there is a good story in this book...and some scary stuff...but it's that era that I strongly dislike...everyone is frantically doing the Charleston, drinking hootch, and living their lifeski! Enoughski! Pleaseski?


I bought some yummy Kindle books! I needed them!








I got some more yummy books from Edelweiss and NetGalley and Amazon Vine...but I am only showing one from each...for today!








I think I am a book magnet!

It is raining here today and I am waiting for Ron Dixon The Amazing Plumber Man...so I am going to finish The Diviners ASAP!

No cooking today...how sad...just teasing...my car has to get inspected and made road ready for our Maine Jaunt...and the best Mexican food ever is near it so Den is bringing home dinner!

I think I feel like my mom used to feel when she closed the kitchen for the day!

Yahoo!

Monday!

Sometimes I want to shout out my love for Mondays! I use them to hunt, gather, and restore...it's my day to put some of the randomness of the week end back in order. It's my catch up day for laundry and some random house chores...Den, Lucy and I are all so neat that nothing really gets disordered but I try to focus on something that needs to be done. I am so good at light housekeeping and so bad with deep cleaning.

I need help with that!

I do change out certain paintings, pillows, and other things for each season...seashells, Maine paintings, pillows, quilts...are being exchanged for pumpkins and other things. I have a huge collection of pumpkins and this is the only time of year where I shout out my hidden love for all things orange!

Yeah orange!

Random baby pumpkins...




Front door pumpkins...I have a pumpkin front door wreath being made...


Scarecrows! A girl and a boy! Patty and Den!
It's the bulletin board thing that certain teachers never outgrow...I love orange construction paper pumpkins!
With a passion!


Pumpkin Kitty Quilt!
Can you tell I love primitives?


Still reading this...I have to say I am not loving it...Evie...main antagonist...is sort of grating on my nerves...I think I don't like this era of flappers and I hate the way she talks...absotootely...lifeski...everythingski...and this is a book I bought!!!


Happy October First!

Sunday...Waffle Day!

Surprise, Den! Lol...














By the time I put dry ingredients in one bowl...wet in another...whip the egg whites separately...and make waffles one at a time...whew...

breakfast is exhausting!

But the result is one happy Dennis!

And way too many extra waffles!

Lucy Grace is a pirate! OMG!


Still reading...


Slowly sorting through bins of October things...I do love pumpkins! These are all made from chenille.



Happy Sunday!
