e in association with that too i want to do so much and only have so much time and money and that s the way life generally goes doesn t it not pouting or whining there s not nearly enough time to spare for that i just need to gather my thoughts and make my lists and get busy i ve had the most fun of late with my home i changed a few things that i felt were not just what i wanted it cost me little or nothing to change except mostly thought and time if only all change could be so easily wrought i plan my work i am nearly done with the bill box for this pay period i have a few simple tasks to do to finish that up then we mail off bills run errands and shop for groceries it always looks like such a little bit written out like this but it takes a few hours of time i have truly done about all the sprucing up i mean to do on the house and porches what my focus will be this week will be putting in a few more plants on the patio and perhaps gathering some pretty baskets of flowers for the front porch or so i plan i do have john home for the whole week so there may or may not be a visit to a diy store if there is i will try to buy a few bags of mulch for the existing flower beds and some more landscape blocks so i can put a few more aside for the next bedding area i am making up i d like paint for the patio table and chairs but we ll see it will be a big job and require far more paint than the café set continue at april 23 2017 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest frugal friday purpose driven savings saturday off to see the kids john asked me the afternoon before what we d have for breakfast i made muffins friday evening from two bananas that ripened rather quickly john likes to stop several times on the way i ll say this for his new yeti cup the coffee bought in perry was still hot 2 1 2 hours later when we stopped in hazlehurst he told me to take a sip and i was shocked it was as hot as though it had just been brewed john told me he s so convinced over the value of the cup now that he ll gladly spend money on another one for me i reminded him we had another one right here at home and i d just get rid of all the others which don t even come up as a close second to the yeti i brought along a meal to share with the kids lasagna and chocolate cake from the freezer a bag of romaine hearts from the fridge i d taken out the lasagna on friday and put in the fridge it and the cake were frozen solid i didn t think ice was necessary indeed when we arrived at sam s the lasagna was still frozen we had a rather late dinner since it took over an hour to thaw and heat through in the oven continue at april 21 2017 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest coffee chat symphony days gosh but it s warm tomorrow the temperatures are to be in the 90 s time to find some nice cool images of iced tea huh do come in you re just in time for a much needed break and a bit of coffee we can take it on the porch if you d like the breeze and shade make for very pleasant sitting these days i relish these days of mid spring when the temperatures are mild enough as long as you are not working in the sun i do love the sound of the birds and the wind in the leaves of the trees it s a lovely symphony isn t it fresh and lively different than the autumn song of bass wind pounding upon us and rattling cacophony of dry dead leaves skittering across the yard the variety of bird call this time of year is worth noting the mocking bird kindly serenades us year round but one morning this week as i stood on the porch to see john off to work i listened to a whippoorwill call from across the field and this afternoon when i came home a quail called bob bob bob white i ve heard a lovely trilling bird call i m not sure what kind of bird makes it but it s common here from spring through the first cool days of autumn then the bird must migrate from here to somewhere much warmer still it is a beautiful sound there are so many lovely bird songs and calls to hear continue at april 20 2017 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest for april my favorite

homemaking good housekeeping s book on the business of housekeeping i ve thoroughly enjoyed reading good housekeeping s book on the business of housekeeping a manual of method by mildred maddocks bentley published in 1924 there s all kinds of advice in the book if ever you wondered why so much work in the long ago days this book pretty much covers it divided into five sections the fifth is on laundry and is the longest and the most detailed every aspect of doing the washing is covered from making soap solutions and the equipment required to detailed instructions of exactly how full a load of laundry should be while there were many labor saving devices back then such as an automatic washer and a wringer as well as ironers that could do many pieces of ironing in a day s time it was fully expected laundry would take two full days work the first day was solely compromised of washing mending treating stains starching and drying the second day was relegated to ironing the more fortunate woman had a maid who attended to the laundry otherwise the whole of the household work was shoved into a mere four days a week while laundry took up the first two continue at april 17 2017 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels homemaking under the tuscan sun a book review you will rarely hear these words from me but i actually prefer the glamorized and more fictional movie of this book over the book yes it s true i bought this book years ago and then let it go from my bookshelves i had somewhat forgotten the book and was excited to be able to review it once more as much as i want to enjoy the book i don t i find the author s style of writing is very choppy and almost incoherent at times i d like to have known more about the history of the house i d like to have had a better idea of the tuscan countryside through her story of the renovation of the house instead there are bits of this and bits of that and never enough of any one thing to give you a complete picture of the house i soon remembered why i let the initial copy of the book go so easily from my shelves it was not a wrench to part with it i did read the follow up book and found it much easier going and more pleasurable reading than i found this initial book to be at april 16 2017 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest in my home

turning down diamonds or gold or pearls nope we spent our shabat traveling john had a deep desire to see isaac and josh he planned this weekend right after we got back from seeing taylor i carried a big slab of lasagna and half that chocolate cake i made two weeks ago and of course i packed a supper to eat on the way home we arrived just as they finished up the church egg hunt i love bess and sam s church they are a very friendly bunch of people and they love to open their doors to the community at large that s just what they did this weekend allowing community to come in and hunt eggs with their own children they fed them hot dogs after and had a very brief program by the children s minister and that was that it was a good time for children who might never hear it otherwise to hear the

week i would like to add one item to my morning routine something that is absolutely key for me and it would be one of the first things i do shower and dress even if i am going to go outdoors to work in the hot sun even if i am going to be home all day long because i find that mornings when i schlep about in my night clothes i have to break up my morning to dress for the day mid way through a job or two and that means i might not get back to finish off something at granny s we weren t allowed so much as a drink of water much less come to the breakfast table unless we were fully dressed and ready for the day i m seeing more and more the wisdom of that rule of hers and i mean to incorporate it into my day right after i get out of bed open the window and throw back those covers i m headed to the shower i sat down last night before bed and set down my current routine and what i thought would work better for me i wrote out a zone list and realized i liked the principle of it just not the way i ve been doing them which was to focus all week long on that one area and then move to the next zone i came up with something and think it s just the answer to my need to add a spark to my routine housework once again i ve found that staying away from computer in the mornings is most helpful though i will go online on john s work mornings because i can run swagbuck videos at that time it s the only time i get to hit at those small earnings but i always stop running videos by 7am so it shouldn t be a problem to hold off on that continue at april 14 2017 5 comments email this

sleeping but a half hour i awakened and laid there for the better part of an hour praying sleep would return well sometimes a change of scenery is the best thing i ve turned in bed and lay with my feet at the head and my head at the foot of the bed and sometimes that works nicely and sometimes it doesn t i decided last night to take myself off to the guest room while our room had felt warm ish the guest room was cool so much so that i not only pulled up the quilt on the bed i piled another one atop that one i slept very nicely until i heard john shift in his chair this morning at some point during the night he also couldn t sleep and so he sat in his recliner and covered himself up to sleep again it s cooler in the living room than our bedroom i ve no idea why this is so because during the majority of most days our bedroom is quite cool we had bagels for breakfast i have two left after making up a third to go into john s work lunch for tomorrow we ll eat those in the morning and i
