My Favorite Pastime Lately

 

 

My favourite pastime of late has been watching old (1938-1940's) Agatha Christie movies or listening to her mysteries read on tape.

I do both through youtube. They have a large selection of both.

 

Now I'm not just sitting while I do this.

Oh no, no, no...

 

Last week I finished the kitchen curtains that I had told you I was making. They turned out nicely.

I'm sorry I don't have any picture to share right now, but I will describe them to you at least.

 

The material is a large lime green buffalo check fabric. I made the curtains by the kitchen table long with ruffles and the curtain over the kitchen sink is a ruffled valance that's gathered vertically in two places.

I hope you can visualise that!!

This will be a true test in just how good my writing skills are now, right?

 

Then over the weekend I had my baking day. I do this every other weekend.

I like to get a weeks worth of baking done in one day.

This weekend I made Chicken Enchiladas, Meatloaf,  a Bacon and Broccoli Quiche, Rhubarb Galette and Coconut Macaroons.

I realise that this isn't enough dishes to last a week, but I'm fortunate enough to have a husband who doesn't mind cooking also!

 

 

Since Tim's mother and sister are here visiting, we drove over to Lake Superior last Thursday.

 

 

You might remember these photos from last year when just Tim and I were there.

It was a gorgeous day this time around too!

We enjoyed climbing the rocks, searching for a few blueberries, and just soaking in the sun's rays while we visited.

On a more serious note; our daughter is going in for a small surgery on Wednesday.

I would so appreciate your prayers that all goes well and that she will have a quick recovery too.

Many thanks to all of you-Kimberly
