Well Hello September

09/04/2011 by Sandra Leave a Comment

I can’t believe September is here and that we are on it’s 4th day now. I shake my head in disbelief.  So many new and exciting things going on for me, that I want to make sure I remember then clearly.  So I am going to create a few new pages for a variety of reminders to myself and maybe inspire someone too.

I didn’t get any mail out yesterday, but I did prepare a couple to send out on Tuesday.  I plan on preparing one or two more tomorrow Sept 5, Labor Day.

My writing desk today

 

For dinner tonight I made Ropa Vieja a dish my grandmother prepared often and it translates into Old Clothes lol.  Growing up adults always told me it was horse meat.  You won’t believe how long I believed that to be true, until I figured out it was flank steak.  I cooked it in the crock pot which was a first, but the results were very good and tasty.

Books on My Nightstand

08/24/2011 by Sandra Leave a Comment

I am listening to a audio book now “Lightning Thief Percy Jackson and the Olympians” I have not listen to an audio book in a bit and now getting back into them. I rented it from my library as a download and place it on my iphone. They allow you to do that and I have 14 days to listen to it. I love it and have 2 more on my list to download once I am done with these. What’s on your reading list? I need some good suggestions for future reading titles, thanks.

Pen Friend

A nice love story, will begin reading it soon.

 

Sweet Gratitude

Awesome recipes to bake for those special people in your life.

 

I got these at my library, which I use often.  Every once in a while I will want a book for my own and I order it through Amazon or where I can find it at a reasonable price.

Letters Sent To

I messed up my lettering on this yellow envelope but I sent it on it’s way since the stamps was already affixed to the envelope.  The one with the watermelon sticker made me crave watermelon yum, and it was one of those scented stickers hmmm smelled really good.
