Cool and Cloudy Days =D

 Hello!!
  Today is the most lovely day we've had in a LONG time! cool, cloudy, breezy and wonderful, lovely, super-fine.... I think maybe you get my point. =D

 I think that perhaps Thursdays will be my new blog day. For some crazy reason, this week and last week have seen me so "out of it" that I forget to post on Wednesdays. Also I have been so disorganized on menus this week. I don't think we eaten or fixed what I put on the menu, like we were supposed to have bean for lunch, did that happen? no. So we had eggs instead.

  I made some bean bread today for Grammy. The doctor told her that she needs to eat more protein. She can't eat beef or pork, as that makes her stomach hurt. So I told her she needed to eat beans and some sort of grain at the same time (ie beans and rice, beans and corn...) and that makes a complete protein. I made a big sticky mess.... first the mill was acting up and spewing flour all over the place, got that cleaned up and then when I made the bread, that too, was so sticky, even though I added the right amount of flour, that I made a big mess of that too...... Oh well, got it all cleaned up and now I am just waiting for it to rise.....

Books- Still reading Hardy Boys... BUT I did get a neat book from the library. "1,001 Arabian Nights." I hope it well be fun.

Craft- I'd love to make this http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/30330AD.html?noImages= Don't know WHEN it will get made, but that's okay....

Cooking- A great pecan pie recipe

Guess what?! I have written 4 pages of my novella!! I'm almost finished with the 5th page. Groovy? I think so. It's very exciting.

Here is your weekly song. This is nice to watch them play it and all but the second one is a better recording.

It was so cool, I heard this song on the radio yesterday morning, and I was so excited! I've only head 1 Monkees song on the radio before. I knew it was this song at the first few notes!! Valleri is the name of my heroine in my book. Just thought I'd tell  you that and hopefully you'll want to hear more about my story? 

Okay, well that wraps up this week's post. Hope you have a great day!

Vaya Con Dios,

~Erin
