Books to Read

I have read a few books lately that I have loved.

This is a beautiful cookbook

I read this for the upcoming movie--twists and turns

This is one I pulled off the bookshelf and read over again

I have just started this one...it is pretty interesting

Five on Friday

Here are my Five on Friday:

O N E:
    Jar is preparing to take his test for his driver's permit.

T W O:
    We use a lot of bananas every week...I make the boys smoothies after their workout.

T H R E E:
      I got some magazines this month to read.

F O U R:

   Don't you just hate chores. I wash so many dishes during the day. I only use the dishwasher when I just have so many dishes at one time that I just can't stand to wash them. Hey, but I heard someone say one time that a lot of chores...laundry or dishes...means that you have people to do those for--Of that I am very thankful.

F I V E:

     The boys love German pancakes. I don't make them very often (because of the white flour), but last week I made some for them.

Little Giant Ladder

I have been wanting to buy Michael a Little Giant ladder. We have two ladders...a 6 foot aluminum ladder and an 8 foot wooden ladder. The aluminum ladder is not tall enough to really use for much of anything. The wooden ladder is a ladder that Grandma J. gave us, and it it is very wobbly (who knows how old it is). But, we always just made do.

We are getting older, and the wobbly ladders were concerning me. I finally decided to go ahead and get one for Michael for Christmas and just give it to him early. We had lots of projects to do on the house, and soon we will be putting Christmas lights up, so I wanted him to be safe.

Silly Lily

Lily just got a haircut. She looks so cute and so little.

Day out with Mom

We had a fun morning out with Mom one day last week. We went to a coffee shop for coffee and muffins, and then we went to the mall to do some shopping. It was a fun day.

Glimpse of my Weekend

This weekend was all about getting projects done around the house. We cleaned the garage thoroughly, painted the front of the house, and worked on some things with the camper. I also did a lot of organizing of the house.

Five on Friday

Here are my Five on Friday:

O N E:
    Lily is such a cutie pie, but I have to cut her hair off this weekend. I always hate to do it, but it really knots up if I don't.

T W O:
     I love beautiful personal planners and pens with which to write. I also love my journals and writing in them.

T H R E E:
      The grass is finally greening up in the back yard. It was dead looking all summer long.

F O U R:

   I eat breakfast close to lunchtime...like 11:00 or 11:30 a.m. I usually have eggs and Ezekiel 4:9 raisin bread. Sometimes, I will have bacon or chicken sausage with it.

F I V E:

     I read a really good book about cleansing your liver. I want to implement some of the ideas this next week.
