Earlier this week my brother-in-law sent me a picture. He had driven by our old house and decided to take a picture so we could see the changes. It is odd to see the changes that the new owner makes to the outside. Last year they changed the landscaping in front by removing our stacker […]
I finished the book and I am outraged! Tired, exhausted in fact, from this 1000 plus page emotional journey that ended so badly! I wished I had stopped reading when Scarlett was running home, overjoyed with her new realization that it had been Rhett all along! No amount of words could express my sad feeling […]
I sat up until after 2am this morning reading. For the first time in the book I felt emotionally connected and moved. Before I started last night I had about 130 pages left to read, I now have about 30. I cried through a good chunk of what I read last night. Scarlett and Rhett’s […]
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: March 16th, 2010… Outside my window…the sun is finally shinning again! We have had days without the sun again and it is so nice to see it this morning. I am thinking…that I am thirsty and hungry so I need to hurry up and finish on the computer so I […]
I ♥ Faces is celebrating the cold weather this week with their theme of “Bundled Up”. Living in the Northeast certainly means cold weather for more then 50% of the year. We have so many pictures out in the snow, cutting a Christmas tree, sledding, building igloos and snowmen, ice skating, or just plain out […]
Over at NaBloPoMo, every month is a new month for you to make your “National Blog Posting Month”. Their suggested theme for this month is STRANGE(R). I successfully participated in their February Blog Posting Month. Although, it kind of felt like cheating because it is the shortest month of the year! As the end […]
For those of you that really know me, you know that I don’t sew, use a sewing machine, crochet, cross stitch, needlepoint or anything else crafty or involving cloth! That was until the fall/winter of 2008. Chloe was involved in a home school Waldorf-like program called Lilac Children’s Garden where one of the things they […]
I grew up hearing stories from my parents and brothers about all the things they used to do. My brothers are 9 and 12 years older than I am so by the time I was born their childhoods were in full swing. By the time I can really remember a lot, my brothers were grown […]
It has been awhile (I think 2 weeks) since I have posted any thoughts about Gone with the Wind. My thoughts throughout the first 2/3 of the book were running to Scarlett and her delusions about Ashley. I find myself wondering, is she just naive, has he mislead her, is there something we are missing? […]
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: March 9, 2010… Outside my window…ahhh, finally the sun is shining! We have had a few days of sun and slightly warmer temps. The sidewalks are filled with draining water as the snow melts into tiny rivers of water. Spring will be here soon! I am thinking…about the book I […]
