Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The weather in our neck of the woods . . .
Things that make me happy . . .
Taking road trips to see something new to us. Small or big. We found a hidden treasure, and it filled my adventure tank (minus the hiking ha ha!). What a treasure to find. A non-profit foundation that has a used book store, that sells all sorts of books, magazines, puzzles, new local artist work, new local author books, locally made crafts/art, a room full of donated yarn for sale, crafting books, and much more. We were both shocked at what we found inside, because the outside made it appear small. I'm so glad we ventured out to find this, and yes (gulp), I bought some books, but held off on the yarn (for now anyway).
Another good thing about this discovery, if we venture there again, I can donate books, craft books, craft supplies, kids books, and even small balls of yarn (yes they sell those too). What a happy place. There are a few chairs to relax in, so my husband had no problem waiting on me to check it all out. Heck, we can donate our puzzles, and buy a new one there.
Book I am reading . . .
What's on my TV . . .
The Day you Found Me (movie), any comedy for some healthy laughing.
What's on my breakfast plate . . .
Not sure just yet.
What's on my lunch plate . . .
Not sure.
What's on my dinner plate . . .
Not sure.

On the to-do list . . .

New recipe I tried or want to try . . .
A date bread recipe that was handed down to me from one of my Aunt's, which previously was a friend of my Grandmother (her Mother). Will it happen? I am not sure.
What I am creating . . .
I am mostly focusing on the crochet lap afghan. I made another granny square too, and jus need to sew in the ends. I'll be sharing that project this week (granny square project).
No words needed (favorite photo) . . .
Devotionals, Prayers, and Bible Verses . . .
"I will shout for joy as I sing Your praises; my soul will celebrate because You have rescued me." Psalm 71:23 (Voice)

I would definitely be lost in that place. Books and yarn? Yes, thank you! How fun is that? I sure with I lived closed to it. It's really cold here too. -19 F with windchill right now. The low tonight without windchill is supposed to be -12F but then a warm up will begin thank goodness.
I hope your Monday is a very blessed one.

Betsy, I fell in love with the used bookstore and could not be happier to find craft supplies and yarn to-boot. Love it and will be back, and maybe donate there from now on. Oh my. You are definitely in a colder area than us. Golly. Stay warm for sure. Thank you. I pray your Monday is a blessed one too.
What an awesome photo of the full moon! That store looks like a great place to find real hidden treasures. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Jean, the store is a true treasure. I am so glad we found it. Thanks. I hope your week is great too.
Oh I would love to find a store like that near me. I love bookstores! Also, we are struggling with those temps as well. School was closed today due to cold.
Yum.

Carol, I am so happy we found the place, and went to check it out. That particular part of the actual business is closed on Sundays. Some parts of it (there are different buildings) are open every day of the week.
R's Rue, we really do like the bread. I won't eat it every day or week, but we do like it.
I love finding out of the way spots I never knew about. It is even better to find reduced items!
I am going to try the avocado bread.
That avocado bread sure looks good... and that place you found! I think I'd still be in there... what a lovely place! Have a great week
Anne in the kitchen, I am so glad we found the place, and yes, the bread is pretty good. We will be making it often I think.
Luludou, thanks, the bread is delicious. I am very happy we ventured out to check out the new place too.
