LISTENING TO: Usually
when I am sitting here typing I have a little music going
on my computer, etc., but today, after a week of painters and such, I
am just really loving the gentle quietness of the morning. Oh, yeah,
and the sounds of the washer and the dryer in the background.
COOKING BYTES: I
received a lovely and thoughtful gift this week from a blogging friend
who was fortunate enough to have gone to the Willa Cather Conference in
Red Cloud this year. Jessica lives in D.C. and is working on her
thesis, taking a little side trip for some fun and extended learning.
She cooks/bakes with me in a few of the bake/cook alongs and I have
gotten to know her over the past couple of years. She and I have
somehow managed, despite our ages and locations, to have been on a
parallel reading course...we tend to read and like the same things in
great literature. What a fun find for me, to have someone to share
this with. When she was in Red Cloud she got me a wonderful book At
Willa Cather's Tables: The Cather Foundation Cookbook, so I have been
reading that all week as it has such fun information in it about the
stories and WC's life, etc. Cooking/baking runs consistently throughout
the stories/books, so what a treat to have this book.
FAV NEW FIND: It feels great to have the house freshly painted!
FAV THING THIS WEEK: I can't think of anything specific, it was just a good week in general, getting caught up on a few things, etc.
GOING TO: A final graduation party to go to, a three day swim meet, Reds baseball game, and some fun and relaxation time!
