I hope this finds you all warm and cozy. We had a cold front move through last night, and today is kind of blustery and very cold. We got just a dusting of snow, though, so I'm happy that we're not buried in several feet of snow! I could do with no more snow this winter. Since it's just the beginning of January, though, I think that's a bit unrealistic.
I have a busy week coming up, lots going on with the family and friends. I've got a lot of sewing to do, including hemming my granddaughter's full-length black dress for orchestra. I'm not a fan of hemming, so I'm going to get that done today. It's a very full skirt, so it may take 2 or 3 episodes of Grey's Anatomy to finish it. I just started watching that show this month, never watched it before. I love it! I'm only on Season 1, Episode 9, and I'm hooked. It will probably take me all year to watch all gazillion seasons, but I'll get to them eventually.
This week, I plan on baking quite a few things for breakfast. It seems like lately I enjoy breakfast the most, and so does my husband. By dinner time, I'm ready for something easy to throw together.
Here's my plan for this week. As always, links are below.

As for reading, this month has been great so far! I'm loving the new Heart Dive Bible Study I'm doing, I'm learning a lot every day. I haven't gotten behind yet! I look forward to each day of study.
I am almost finished with Twice by Mitch Albom. It is a really good book, I have been just drawn in by all the characters. It's easy to read, hooked me from the very start, and just wonderfully thought-provoking. What would you do if you had the ability to redo certain events in your life a second time? Just a great book, I can't wait to see how it ends. I have less than 80 pages left, so I'm hoping to finish it this evening.
My next book will be:
I'm going into this one with no prior knowledge of what the book is about. But I love the title and the cover of the book! I'll keep you posted on this one next.
After that, I'll be reading The Book Thief, because I'm going to hear the author of the book at a presentation sponsored by a local bookshop at the beginning of March. My granddaughter is currently reading it for her English class, and loves it. So my daughter, my granddaughter, and I each got a ticket to the presentation. We all get a signed copy of the book as well, so I'm really looking forward to that!
What are you all reading? Let me know in the comments!
That's it for today, thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week, and see you soon!
baking for breakfast sounds so nice. I love something baked in the morning. I remember reading Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom and I really loved it. Twice sounds very interesting too.
ReplyDeleteI do love baking for breakfast! It's a nice way to start the day!
DeleteI finished Twice, it was really very good. Loved the characters and how the story developed.
Thanks for visiting, I hope you come back often!
Thanks for sharing, Joansy, and welcome to Sundays on Silverado! I will be featuring your post tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting, Niky! And thanks for the feature! I sure do appreciate that!
DeleteI'm looking forward to more linky parties with you!
I'm visiting your blog via Sundays on Silverado. So fun to find you! I blog with a long time friend - we met when we served on our Children's Ministry team at church when our own children were little. Now, we blog together and our site is devoted to "Our Grand Lives" and the ways in which we are embracing life as retired kindergarten teachers and grandmas to our "Littles". Seems like we may have a lot in common. I'll look forward to checking out your recipes for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! Oh boy, I'm so glad you found me, because now I found you too!
DeleteYes, we sure do have a lot in common, although I'm much older than you! My 'littles' are 23, 21, and 14! But I also taught kindergarten, as well as grades 1-4 over my teaching career, and was also a reading specialist.
I am so glad you stopped by, and I look forward to getting to know you better! Please stop by often, as my hope is to post more often. I'm just getting back in the swing of things!
