Some good moments today,
in a day that felt, at times, quite rushed.
Fruit and Nut bread for breakfast.
Red Lentil Soup for me (lunch and dinner!)
Hot black tea. So warming, bracing and comforting.
I am working on my Christmas card address list.
I took 2 walks.
I was able to get dishes done last night
which made today WAY better.
Still a bit to go, but thanking God.
Laundry folded, more washed, some drying on racks right now.
I want to bake and do so many things
but I have to pace myself.
Next week is going to be, as I said, inordinately busy for me.
BUT, DV Monday is NYC and I have requested more books. :)
My goal is to have lots of things to read over the next months to keep me company
over an uncertain winter of the pandemic.

To somewhat, at least, answer Granny Marigold's question:
the Elizabeth Fair book I am liking, but feel, in this one, that she is
perhaps not loving her characters; we will see, I am still in the first pages.
Feels different than Miss Read.
I will review the book and feel free to ask questions again when I am done reading it.
I don't know if there is anyone similar to what Miss Read did, exactly, however
I would not hesitate to recommend to you both DE Stevenson's books
and also Elizabeth Goudge.

DV I see my friend Photini this Sunday and after church
she and I hope to have brunch together,
that will be nice!

I am so thankful for all the good things.

May God uphold us, bless us and save us!
Lord have mercy on us!

My mother also liked Elizabeth Goudge and D.E. Stevenson. They’re on my long list. I doubt this will be our last long winter, but they don’t have to be ones of “discontent.” :-)
I woke up thinking about Christmas cards - I haven't been able to "get it together" to send them the last year or two, but they are a tradition I love. This seems like the perfect year and opportunity...
Thanks for answering my question. Once you've read further you'll find out I guess how you like this author.
What fun to be looking forward to another trip into the city on Monday!!
You had a flurry of activities, but we had snow! Not a flurry, either! It was like a December day, and here is Gretchen (above) talking about Christmas cards! My goodness, it's coming.
