This and That

I haven't cooked much in the last week or two. Just my old standbys that I've shared on here multiple times already. So instead of sharing a recipe today, I thought I'd just share some random fun photos.

 First, my One Word for 2019. And I did a painting of it. This is my first ever oil painting. Such fun!

 Next, some spring flowers at the church, arranged by a member of the flower guild. Gorgeous! And some of the flowers were out of the yard of another member.


And those flowers made me think of my Valentine's Day gift from hubby!


And another inadvertent gift--a display of my books at the church library! I was touched to see it.


 Oh, wait. I DID cook a little! In addition to making dinner on Valentine's Day, I baked my husband's favorite: brownies. And I made them in a heart shaped pan. :) I also tried, for the first time, a sugar-free mix. They turned out good!






 I also got to spend time recently with the grand dogs! Here I am with my spoiled rotten grandchild. I can't imagine the joy of maybe one day having human grandchildren. :)

And speaking of animals... COVER REVEAL!

 I'm thrilled to be a part of this devotional book coming soon from Guideposts! I'll share a link later once it is released.

      LOL, Ruthy!! I feel like an underachiever when I use a mix but I can't make homemade brownies that turn out as good! And the sugar-free didn't cost me as many Weight Watchers points. :)

    Missy, I can't believe you have hydrangeas blooming already! I need to check mine. See if they're even alive.

    I still love that painting. The colors are so pretty. And I love the devotional. Congratulations!

      Mindy, I don't think the hydrangea was from someone's yard. I think she was talking about the daffodils only. But I'm sure it won't be long! The pear trees are blooming now in addition to the others we've been seeing for a couple of weeks.

    Groan -- I can't believe you have actual flowers in your gardens! Such pretty arrangements! It brings me hope that spring will come up here some day. :-) Maybe. Love that painting! Congrats on the devotional releasing soon.

    Seasons. Reminding myself we have seasons for a reason. But it would be lovely to see daffodils in bloom. *sigh*

    I love the cover of your new book, Missy. Congratulations. Looking forward to it.
