I really enjoyed it and made a note of some of the books you've mentioned, some I've already read. I've recently read a book about Tasha Tudor and thought it very interesting, her life, her dedication to simplicity, and of course her amazing drawings and crafts.<br />Amalia<br />xo<br />handmade by amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589172037052603746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-58228767632073000772019-02-26T16:23:20.824-08:002019-02-26T16:23:20.824-08:00Wonderful post,dear Karen...Blessings!Wonderful post,dear Karen...Blessings!Louca por porcelanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00726677930512452492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-68889474422179700112019-02-26T14:45:55.455-08:002019-02-26T14:45:55.455-08:00Karen,

How that boy survived when his father abandoned him at the tender age of 4. Not only he survived, but became gold winner in Olympic. <br />I also love to read autobiographies and memoirs. I can tell you one book , " Lone fox dancing" by Ruskin Bond. Ruskin Bond is an Indian author. He was actually born in British India, but he didn't live India, after independence. I think you'll love his autobiography. You can get the book in Amazon.krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415543228464576537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-87532468494482684402019-02-24T20:20:00.765-08:002019-02-24T20:20:00.765-08:00Your moon shots are fantastic!

Thanks for the run-down on those books, there's a couple there I would love to read .. by Mary J Macleod. <br />When there's opposition to one's love, like there was to yours, I think it makes that love all the sweeter and more precious. The same happened to us (based on religion), and we have just celebrated our 50 years of marriage.<br />Those apple muffins look beyond delicious lol! <br />Cheerio and enjoy your reading.

I love your s...Karen, you are a true pioneer woman! I love your story and how your life is so full of bravery while living in the most beautiful spot in the world but sometimes by yourself. You are more brave than I could ever be. I rattle around in my home alone just when hubby goes to the store! I love to read and always have. When in high school we lived a ways out in the country and my dad worked everyday and my mom didn't drive. We had one day a week when we drove with my dad to my grandmother's and stayed there until he picked us up after work. I would walk to the library with my cousin and always found an Albert Payson Terhune book to read. All about dogs. I was lucky to find an old one of his, Lad, A Dog, at a garage sale awhile back. I had read it but it was wonderful to find it to add to my library. My mother was a great reader and belonged to a book club back in the 30's, 40's, and 50's. I have a lot of her books in my library now. She loved romance and had alot of historical romance novels. I guess that is what I got used to. It is always so great to read your posts and now that I have written my own novel, I better get some work done. Your pics of the moon are outstanding.

Hibernation is such a good time to work on things - so trying to make myself. I've been up and down with reading too...but adore some of your suggestions and I'm going to absolutely check them out! <br /><br />I would love to be snuggling at your table with a hot tea and one of those muffins - gabbing all things life and dreaming on Spring. I'll play pretend and that will have to be enough. ;) <br /><br />And I am all things Italy too! Loved it there so much and would go back in a heartbeat. ::sigh:: Blessings on the rest of your weekend dear Friend. xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-42902275317860881392019-02-23T09:00:12.406-08:002019-02-23T09:00:12.406-08:00I am not a big reader anymore, when I get my free ...I am not a big reader anymore, when I get my free time I tend to make my cards or looking at blogs. The bible is about the only thing I read anymore. I used to love Rosamunde Pilcher books, she is from England Oh I can't think of the other Author right now, there was also an Author that wrote stories around quilts too and I can't think of her name either. My hubby still loves to read and our daughter got her love of reading from him.

It does seem that we have been in the camper for a long time while our house is under construction. Even knowing that my husband and son are working wonders doesn't always stifle my impatience to be in a 'real' house again. <br />For many years my husband's work took him away. I kept myself busy: gardening in season, sewing, part time jobs, music and, always, reading. I noted quite a few of my favorites in your stacks of books. Over the decades I've read a lot of historical fiction. My tastes now run more to essays, first person narratives, British mysteries. I read a good deal online. <br />Reading is always enhanced by a good mug of tea--no muffins, as the camper doesn't have a good working oven.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-60529239768490281172019-02-22T14:25:22.236-08:002019-02-22T14:25:22.236-08:00I haven't felt like reading much, but we do ha...I haven't felt like reading much, but we do have a library. It was the dining room. It's a nice and cozy place with all kinds of books, many pictures on the wall, and mismatched things on top of the book shelves and on the walls. I have a curiosity cabinet that has rocks, shells, a turtle shell, birds of all sorts (not live) and many other goodies to explore.rushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384758362254647340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-3807817070189573282019-02-22T13:55:32.064-08:002019-02-22T13:55:32.064-08:00Yes, books do make for good company, don't the...Yes, books do make for good company, don't they, Karen?

I'm a reader too and I read a lot of everything. I do love memoirs and biographies, though. And mysteries. Not tons of fiction, though now and then book club will pick one or I'll find one set in Paris or England and then I might get hooked. I've been reading like a crazy girl since I was a kid, so I so get the feeling. And it's perfect for the winter blahs, transporting us to another world, if only for awhile. <br /><br />Thanks for the muffin recipe -- looks delish!

I love the herbal teas, but I'm with you on the coffee.....I love coffee! Turning your master bedroom into a library sounds like a wonderful idea, and especially since you love to read so much. You have quite a selection of books already. This sounds like a creative project to look forward to. Oh Karen, I also love the Pioneer women! I think that is my favorite era. I really admire the women of this time; they were so brave, and were hard workers on their farms and in their homes. They were strong during difficult times as well. Your apple muffins sound delicious, and even better with a nice cup of tea or coffee. I've always loved that delightful polka-dot mixing bowl. <br /><br />Well, it sounds like Spring may take a little longer in your area, as you still have all that wonderful snow! I'm sure it's a lot harder to live in it than to see lovely pictures of it. This was such a nice post, Karen, and I enjoyed every bit of it. And I wanted to tell you that you are a talented writer too. Your words flow so nicely.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-30065920512191672092019-02-22T08:31:33.431-08:002019-02-22T08:31:33.431-08:00We have read so many of the same books, Karen!

Right now I am nearly finished with "Caroline", a book inspired by the Little House series, but from Caroline's viewpoint. I am enjoying it very much.<br />I smiled reading about you and your hubby as youngsters on the field trip...I remember going on that same field trip, except no boyfriend lol. My mother had made me the prettiest new dress of soft white cotton with tiny pink roses and a pink satin ribbon belt. It was such a special day, and I loved the movie.<br />I wish I could sit down with a cup of that good caffeine and visit with you! Blizzard headed here this weekend...and we already have the snowiest February on record. Looking forward to spring gardening, too!
