What I Wore on Sunday

My daughter said I looked cute this morning

so I thought to myself

picture time

this is what I wore to Mass

jeans, sweater,  and sandals

we went to the early Mass

and I thought about wearing a skirt

but it was chilly this morning

and I hate being cold

and I almost never get told that I look cute

it's usually,

you're wearing that?

sweater...old navy

shirt...goodwill

jeans...silver jeans

sandals...baker's

rhinestone bracelet...forever 21

earrings...salvaged from my daughter's goodwill pile

What are you wearing?

A Lemon Cheesecake for Easter

photo by donna hay

I can't believe Easter is next weekend

time fly's when you're having fun

I am having the family over for Easter Sunday

the weather should be beautiful

and of course

we are serving lamb

grilled lamb chops and leg of lamb

no ham at this party

I saw this recipe from Donna Hay

and it looks delicious

I think I might try it

if I don't run out of time

sugar cookies

coconut cake

and a

lemon tart

are also on the menu

along with my sil's pies

coconut and banana

yes, my family has a sweet tooth

Donna Hay is one of my favorite cooking magazines

they are a little pricey

but she usually has some really good recipes

and the photography is beautiful

I am really looking forward to this Holy Week

we are turning off the TV and will be reading from the

Magnificant

they sent a special little book just for Holy Week

O...M...G...

j'adore

Being that I am a sheepherder's daughter

I am buying this poster

and I have no idea where it will be hung and

I know you shouldn't buy things unless you have a place for it

but I just have to have it,

as soon as the Lenten season is over

I gave up buying myself stuff during Lent

after listening to a visiting priest talk about his work in Haiti

It was so sad

the living conditions of the Haiti people are horrendous

and I have so much stuff

I am truly  blessed to live in America

If you would like to make a donation

you can go to 

www.foodforthepoor.org

they are truly doing God's work

and all donation's go to helping the Haiti people

An Apron Kind of Girl

shopfoglinen

It's Saturday

the weather is cloudy and cold

I want to wear this apron and bake something

or just stay in bed with my down comforter

and dream about wearing this apron

and baking something

I think this apron will go on my wish list

What about you?

Do you love aprons?

Party in A Box

My FIL is celebrating a big birthday this year

since they live out of town

and we won't be able to celebrate with them

I put a little party together for him

in a box

I photo copied old pictures

strung them on some string

made confetti from the scraps of the cuttings

and added some balloons

I think I will throw in some candy

along with a special card

Party in a box

the next best thing to being there

and just like that it's the weekend

as I am typing this post my hands are ice cold

and I am thinking about going to the store

to pick up a few things for the weekend feast

but the cold keeps me from moving

my mind says, get moving

and my body says, not yet

I have read some thought provoking articles this past week

that I just can't get out of my head

and then I came across this article

that brought a smile to my face

I think it would make a great short story on film

Here's to a peaceful weekend

and this song that I have been listening to all week on my iphone

while I am grudgingly getting my exercise

and if you're in town

stop by this neighborhood home tour

the weather should be perfect for it
