To Be Read January 2024

-

 As I promised my readers yesterday, I am here today with one of my goals for the new year. I want more peace in my home and life and part of what brings me peace is reading so I intend to do more of it and hold myself accountable here. So I plan to write a post once a month to share what I intend to read each month and then share my progress weekly. 

For January, I am planning small with only four books on my list. This reading will be on top of my Bible Study for the month. I may share that at times as well, but I am unsure yet what I will be doing this month for that. I am thinking just a random reading and study for January. I have also decided to add some classic reading to my list for the year, so I have joined the reading challenge at Tea and Ink Society. My classic for this month's theme is to read a book that you have read in the past and I have chosen The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner. I chose this as it was one of my favorite series to read as a child and even as a teenager, I read it multiple times. 


If you are interested in reading this, you can find it on Amazon. By using that link and purchasing the book, you will be helping aid my family in keeping farm life in the hearts of children. I appreciate it more than you will ever know. 

My other books that I intend to read are:

1. Just Once by Karen Kingsbury. Karen is my favorite author and I am anxiously wanting to read this. It was a gift for Christmas from my daughter and I am looking forward to it. Here is a link to this book. 



2. Frontier Follies by Ree Drummond.  Yes, as in the Pioneer Woman. Here is the link to it. I am sure it will be a fun and easy read. I have read other books by her and enjoyed them a great deal. She is such a hardworking woman and cares deeply for her family and her frontier. 



3. Four Friends by Robynn Carr. This is a book that my mom was given and has passed it to me as she thinks that I will enjoy it. It is an older book, but I am sure it will be a pleasant and light read. I will include the link in case anyone is interested in reading it as well. 


I hope to read this all four in the month of January and I will weekly give an update as to where I am in my journey. Please let me know if you choose to read any of these as well. 

Happy New Year!!!!

 As I was looking through my posts today, I see that I have failed my readers. Many of you were aware that my other daughter was pregnant and going to deliver in July, I am sure those of you that knew are wondering why I never posted about that and I must say that life has just gotten in the way, and I thought that I had written a post. Since I know I did not, I will now! He came when Mamaw was out of town! Can you believe that? He actually had the nerve to do something so ridiculous as to come while I was at the Pink Zebra reunion (our annual conference). I was with four of my best friends when we got the announcement that he was here! I was so happy that I was able to share that news with them before anyone else. Of course, the leaders of the company were there and anxious to hear how she was doing as well.  Deliver went fairly smooth, but she was in labor for quite a while. I am not sure on hours, but I think about 6 hours. There were some issues with my daughter following delivery

Something is Falling From The Sky

 Yesterday and today have been very cool days here on the farm and I must say that something that we don't recognize has been falling from the sky. It is wet and seems to be hanging around. IT is certainly what the ground needed as it seems to have soaked it up almost immediately. Rain, glorious rain!! The ducks are loving their pool and the rain, but I truly don't think that they are liking the cooler temperatures so much. I know I am not. I don't mind cool, but wearing my sweatshirt in June is not fun.  The white turkeys are enjoying the coop that my husband put together for them. We have 5 of them and two others. We won't be keeping all of the toms as we have too many.  Nesting boxes made of milk crates that we had lying around work well attached to the back wall.  Here is Tom. He is such a great boy, but he likes to show off. He gets along well with the chickens.  These are my Old English chickens. I like them as they are small and will never get much bigger. I actu

Happy Homemaker Monday - 1/8/24

 Hello! Welcome to my first Happy Homemaker Monday post for 2024. I am happy to join Sandra at  Diary of A Stay At Home Mom  to participate in this series. How has everyone's Monday morning been so far? Mine is slow as most Mondays, but I will be busy later. I really need to work on my direct sales business and get my inventory done for the year. Taxes will be soon and I need that information.  The Weather: The weather is predicted to be a little unsettled this week with periods of rain and snow throughout the week. Daytime highs in the 30's and 40's, which is a bit above average with lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Not too bad for this time of the year. I hate the rain as it just makes the farm a muddy, sloppy mess.  Right Now I Am: Sitting at my desk listening to the news and writing this post. My daughter just came over for coffee and to chat a bit.  Thinking and Pondering: What I will get accomplished this week and where I want to start for chores. I am t
