I had a birthday earlier this week, and older son sent me this card that made me laugh out loud!
My sister made me a peach pie - so yummy! We joke about how she got the pie-making "gene" from our mom and I got the sewing "gene." I always give her something quilty that I've made.
I bought myself a present when we were in Oregon. My new favorite mug -
I just finished a really good book! It's for my October book club meeting. I usually enjoy historical fiction, but this is a different time period than I usually read. Marguerite de la Rocque de Roberval lived in France in the 1500s, so not a lot is known about her, but her story as told by this author is fascinating! The title, Isola, refers to an island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence that Marguerite was marooned on.
LeeAnna's question of the week is about gingerbread recipes - do we have a favorite to share? I do love cut out gingerbread cookies, and have made them before - probably just the recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.
But what I am really craving is something made with pumpkin, so I think I'll make some pumpkin bread this weekend. Or how about something that combines pumpkin and ginger? This one sounds good! Pumpkin Gingerbread Cookies
