I finished my latest library book and it was quite an enjoyable read. I described it to someone as a fairy tale that takes place in the 1940's. Here's what the internet says: by Rhys Bowen is a historical fiction novel set in 1938, featuring 50-year-old Ellie Endicott, who escapes her cheating husband by driving his Bentley to the South of France with her housekeeper and a friend. The book is a tale of resilience, friendship, and self-discovery.
I was at the Dollar Store yesterday looking for peat pots. Last year I waited too long and there were no more so I wanted to be sure to get them in time. I priced out just the pots then I saw this kit and it was actually a better deal plus I got the tray with its clear lid. Now I'm ready 💗
Its a mostly cloudy day. DH is hobbling around the house leaning heavily on his cane since one of his knees is very painful ( both have been replaced surgically, but continue to be a problem). Eldest is coming for lunch. So that is my day. Thanks for coming by.
I'm so glad that you spotted that kit and that it was a better deal because that will serve you well!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your husband's knees bothering him.
And I agree, Home is a sanctuary.
I certainly agree that home is a sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about hour husband's knees. I know that fixing the bones does not mean that the soft tissues are fixed.
I am so sorry that DH is still having pain.
ReplyDeleteIt is cloudy here in Montreal today as well, snow ❄️ is on its way.
I read that book last year and thoroughly enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteHello GM - I do agree with the quote you put at the end. Home is indeed a sanctuary. I'm sorry your husband is having knee problems.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Mrs. Endicott's Splendid Adventure, too. Yes, it is a bit like a fairy tale.
Have a good weekend.
I see, you have plans for planting! I'm very sorry about the hurting knees of your DH. Can you do together your daily walks in the morning? Hope it will better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to read that book. I'm reading The Rose Arbor by her now and it's really good.
ReplyDeleteLove that the kits were a better deal. Hot dog!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that DH's knees are so painful! That sure puts the kibosh on alot of activities! Please wish him well from us. Your library book looks intriguing. I will have to look for titles by this author! What are you planning to plant in your little peat pots?

Hope DHs knees improve.
ReplyDeleteThat kit was a win, and I've got that book waiting to be read, thanks for the reminder 😀
Knee pain is so debilitating! Sometimes the weather affects my knees. My mother used to make her own "peat" pots out of newspaper. She was an avid gardener - I miss getting good things from her garden and chickies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the book recommendation. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, knee pain!…phooey…it’s miserable… hope DH feels better soon. Looks like you will be busy with some Spring gardening. Lovely to visit with you, happy weekend. xox Virginia
That book looks like one I'd love. Must check on it and add it to my read list.
ReplyDeleteI've added the book to my list of "to read". Hope your DH feels better soon. My Mr D fights back pain everyday. Hope you have a great weekend/
ReplyDeleteOh that's difficult, husband's knee's 😥 sounds like a fun book! Glad you got the pots you wanted 🥰🫂
ReplyDeleteI do agree ... home is a sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Hope your husband rests his knee and that it gets better. Home is a refuge for me.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy historical fiction. The kit was a good find. You are getting ready for spring.
