I Can't Believe...

I missed this:

and this

(picture borrowed from The Confessions of a Pioneer Woman

and Food Network)
Ree Drummond, THE PIONEER WOMAN.

I have been waiting for her show ever since I heard she was going to be on Food Network.

It aired on Saturday and 10:30 AM (11:30 Eastern time). I don't know how I missed it.

Must have been because I was excited to get to Strawberry Patches to meet my granddaughter, Kobi to pick out fabric for a skirt.

(Just wait til you see what she picked...quite the little designer.)

Anyway...I missed it, but found a short clip from the show here. Just click vidios.

I tried to find out if it was repeated sometime during the week, but couldn't find it.

Well, you bet I won't forget next week. I put a post-it on my desk computer.

We are off to return to our home away from home a little early today.

We've been getting back about 11:00pm on Sunday and Mr. SS wanted to leave early today.

He has to be at work at 6:00am.

Me, I just get up, make breakfast and his lunch, get him off to work and sleep read.

Speaking of reading, I am a 75% done with The Help.  No page numbers on  the Kindle, so thats how I know how much more I have to read.

That means I'll probably get to go to the movies soon. Yeah!! Wonder if it's playing at the Rubidioux Drive-in.

God is Good!!
Life is Good!!

What's On My Kindle and What's On My Nightstand

                   

Because I really reeeeally want to see the movie, The Help, I am spending every spare minute trying to get the book read. I have this thing about reading a book before I see the movie.

This book really hits home for me, because when I was little (4yrs.-6yrs.)  we lived in Texas. My Mom worked as a secretary and my Dad worked for Haliburton and traveled a lot. We had a colored (I use that word, meaning no offense, because that is what we called black people in the 50's)lady who took care of my sister and I. Her name as Susie and we loved her. She watched us, cleaned house and started dinner for my Mom.

I remember her so well because she had a superstition that has stayed with me my whole life.

We lived in an old house and Susie would bathe us before my Mom came home. Old house...old pipes.

Sometimes the pipes would make a terrible sound when Susie ran our bath water. She told us it was the devil and we had to hide in the closet until it stopped. Yep, she would hide with us. I think the book took place in th 60's, but it fascinates me.

I am still doing my daily reading in my One Year Bible.

Now for the nightstand. I think I have told you I don't get magazines in the mail anymore, so when I see some of my favorites in a magazine stand, I grab it.

I haven't opened a one of them, but it's like "money in the bank", knowing I have these two favorites just waitig to be opened.

This last one is new to me and I am looking forward to readng it. It is a Christian magazine recommend by a couple of bloggy friends.

The cover is so pretty, I know I won't be disappointed.

Now, if I could just find the time.

This week, I finished two back to school dresses and one skirt. I will wait until Monday morning to take a picture of the girls in their new outfits. They look so much better on the girls than hanging on a hanger.

They love them and so does their Mom.

God is Good!!

Life is Good!!
