A Toast

 Last night at dinner, 

Larry toasted his good friend Jeff. 

Jeff, a high school friend, 

celebrated a birthday yesterday 

and Larry remembered him 

with a toast.

 Birthday are the BEST. Happy Birthday Jeff.

Love you beyond the moon.

Toast and Butter

 Yesterday, as the bad storms approached Dallas,

 I baked a loaf of bread to distract myself.

It was a new bread recipe, 

and I did not have to knead it.

(because of an injured right hand)

The new recipe is wonderful.

Even when my hand is 100% healed, this will be my go to bread recipe.

My favorite thing to do with a loaf of homemade bread is.....

Make toast and butter it with French butter.

Happy Wednesday.

Love you beyond the moon.

The Delphinium Plant

Photo: by Robin

 Last weekend, Larry and I shopped for plants.

We usually shop by project, not doing 100% of our gardens at one time.

While shopping, we had combined projects 

and in the process, I became overwhelmed.

It was then I saw this gorgeous delphinium plant.

The way it was sitting in the sun took my breath away 

and was the perfect time to stop 

for a moment and re-charge.

Please remember, in the crazy world,  

it is good to stop 

and take in the beauty around you.

It reminds us what is really important.

Love you beyond the moon.

Dinner and a Movie

 Sunday Dinner and a movie menu:

Filet Mignon

Baked Potato

Sautéed Squash

Peanut Butter Cup-Sugar Cookies

Our movie was,

Dan In Real Life

Larry was working on errands and 

I made the entire dinner myself...

starting with the cookies.

A first since the accident.

Things are getting better.

Have a happy Monday.

Love you beyond the moon.

Sunday Vibes

Photo: Working in the Garden

 Days in The Cottage have been 

slow and uneventful. 

My recovery is taking longer than 

expected and  Larry is keeping me busy.

I cannot plant anything in the garden 

right now, but I can buy the plants.

(we are off to the garden center 

again this morning.)

Beautiful flowers are always uplifting...

like a few deep breaths when you are feeling blue.

Love you beyond the moon.

About The Book List

 Each month, I chose a favorite book 

that I have read that month, and

post it on The Blog Book List. 

Lately, I have been super lazy about 

keeping up with book list 

and yesterday updated it.

 Finally! After promising

 to do it for months, it is caught up. 

(thanks to feeling crappy, 

I sit at my desk more often)

Please check out my list, 

go to the sidebar on the right.

Click the widget, at the top.

Have a great day.

Love you beyond the moon.
