Hello, Friends! Last week at this time, I didn’t realize it was the first day of autumn. I hope you are all enjoying some blissfully cool (or at least cool-ER) weather.
Isn’t it funny how time flies? Here it is, Monday once again, and time for The Simple Woman’s Daybook. Be sure to drop over at [...]

Sunrise
A friend asked for more pictures to help her “place” me in my world here at Echowood. For you, dear heart, and for anyone else who cares—here is the view from my back porch every morning at sunrise. (I took these shots yesterday, shortly after 7:30 a.m.)
Why are these things always so much lovelier in [...]

Do Babies Really Remember?
I remember some years ago—probably before I had kids—I read something somewhere saying that it’s speculated that small children up to around 3 years old can remember, at least a little bit, what it was like being in the womb.
When my oldest son, who is now 7, was around 2 years old, I asked him, [...]

I am thinking…About a letter I [...]

The Movie That Makes Me Cry Every Time
Am I a sap, or what? I absolutely cannot watch this movie without crying. There are certain scenes that I am best off watching from the kitchen doorway, where my family cannot witness my teary-eyed-ness.
What is it about Tarzan, anyway?
First, I think it’s the relationship between Tarzan and Kala, his gorilla “mom.” She loves him [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for 9/15/08
Outside My Window…The sun is not up yet. Even so, it’s warm. I’ve got a red pepper ripe and ready to pick out in the porch garden. My marigolds are still going to town, even though I’ve been bad and haven’t deadheaded them like I should.
I am thinking…About all the ideas I have for novels. [...]

Recipe: Stack-A-Meal
My husband, Brian, first made this dish for me when we were in college. I took one look at it and went, “What in the world is this?” It seemed like such an odd combination of ingredients.
And yet, it is sooooo good. It’s one of my favorite things to have for supper. [...]

Update on the Dems Pro-Abortion Flyers
Remember last week, when I wrote this post about the stupid pro-abortion/anti-McCain flyers I’d gotten in the mail from the Florida Democratic Party?
Well, the day after that, I got another flyer. Different look, same message. And the day after that, I received yet another. Apparently, they are putting an awful lot of [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for 9/8/08
Hello, Friends! I can’t believe it’s Monday again. I have so many things I want to post here on my blog this week—thoughts, recipes, photos. Hopefully I’ll get around to it all.
For now, it’s time for The Simple Woman’s Daybook!
Outside My Window…It is brutally humid. Oh, how I miss those northern autumns!
I am [...]
