The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, November 28, 2016
For Today… November 28, 2016 … Two more days of November! Looking out my window … the sky is grey and almost pink while the sun lazily makes it’s way into the pre-winter sky. I am thinking … about getting dressed. We’re going to see A Christmas Carol this morning. I am thankful … for…
Wednesdays with Words: Thankfulness

Book Review: The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy
The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy My rating: 5 of 5 stars Own. Wow! I expected fantastic things after reading The Good Master and A Tree for Peter, but I didn’t really expect this. We read this as our “fun readaloud” at the end of Whatchamacallit (Morning Time) and it was a hit with the…
