The Art of Racing in the Rain

I just finished listening to this on CD this week:

It took me about a week to listen to the whole book, lots of interruptions since I listen while I quilt.  The Art of Racing in the Rain is not an all time favorite, but I did enjoy it.  Parts seemed hokey to me, but much [...]

The whole enchilada for Kay

Kay asked for the whole enchilada a few weeks ago…. what the whole house looks like.

Whistling in the Dark

I finished the book Whistling in the Dark last week.  I loved it.  I loved it so much that I stayed up one nite till 3am to finish it.

Oat Bread

The other day it was cool and I felt like making bread.  I got out the bread machine and looked for a new recipe. It was delicious!  Good flavor, some body and texture to the bread, which we prefer.  I will make this again for sure.  I added a whole pack of yeast, and next [...]
