Planning and Making Do... What I Hope to Get Done This Week!


Isn't this just a lovely time of year?  My Amy loves to photograph nature.  I enjoy her artistic eye.  She sees things differently than Momma.  Isn't that just how life is?

Baking:  
- I want to make Serene's Sourdough Rye bread from the Trim Healthy Mama book.  It takes several days, so I plan to start early in the week.
I think it takes a week or so to ferment.
     I'm on target for baking next Tuesday.
- I also want to make this lemon pie.
    I've not gotten to it.  Maybe next week?

Reading:  
- I'm reading A Cast of Kings again.
     Finished it!

Sewing and Crocheting:
- Mending
     Sewed a button on a pair of trousers and let out a skirt.
- Dishcloths for gifts
     I'm working on them!

 Studying:
- American History 2 by Dave Raymond for review purposes.
     I watched one of the videos and looked at the Teacher's manual pdf.

 Working:
- I'll be helping Lowell at our cafe and bakery, Royal Delights.
     Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday so far.
- Homeschooling, of course.  I'm going to do some evaluations to see how much more each child needs to do this semester.
     Still working on this.
- Lots of driving people to and from work and to and from meetings.
     Well over two hundred miles just in errands!

If I finish this list, I'll have been very busy indeed!

 Laura
Happy at Home

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!

The Post I've Been Avoiding... The Diagnosis

Image
Hello my dear readers and friends, You've no doubt noticed a change in my blog over the last few weeks and seen hints of health troubles and tests. This is the post I've been avoiding. I just haven't been ready to identify with the problem nor am I sure I want to now. After all, God is the God of miracles. I need miracles, I'll bet you do, too. Here goes. ​  I found a lump on April 22nd. It's been an earth shaker to me and my family for the last few weeks.  This was the cause of the exhausting rounds of tests and appointments. Yes. It is breast cancer. It's in all the lumps in my left breast and in a lymph node. My mother and maternal aunt both had breast cancer many years ago.  To answer a few questions you might have: The CT scan showed no cancer in the rest of my body. Praise God! The oncologist scheduled me for chemo first because it is an aggressive cancer. They want to shrink it first before surgery. I will also have mas...

My Spicy Can Opener Soup was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas!

Just had to share this with you again.   My recipe was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas! I have to admit, I was truly surprised when I received a letter from Gooseberry Patch requesting permission to use my recipe in their newest Christmas cookbook.  I've sent in some more complicated recipes, but this one is easy peasy! It's truly a recipe that I threw together using items from my nearly bare kitchen cupboards last winter. I called it Spicy Can Opener Soup.  They changed the name, but the ingredients remain the same.   I was thrilled to receive my very own copy of the book .  Of course, I had to make it up and take some photos to share with you dear ladies. It's simple, quick, and delicious. It's also one of those scrape the bowl clean recipes. It's just this simple. Spicy Can Opener Soup 1 can black beans 1 can Mexican corn with peppers 1 can Rotel type tomatoes w/chiles 1 package of Taco Seasoning Mix and simm...

Just Who is Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage?

I'm a big city girl gone small town girl gone country and finally gone back to small town. I live in southern Missouri between Oz and the Ozarks.  I have four children. My daughters live at home. My twenty-four year old daughter is finishing her master's degree through online university, and my 20 year old daughter goes to Christian college. My sons live on their own nearby. The 22 year old son and my 31 year old sons live nearby. I homeschooled all of my children from the beginning through high school. My eldest son went to high school for a year and a half. I met my Jesus when I was fifteen, and my life has never been the same. I married my high school sweetheart almost thirty-six years ago. We started going steady my senior year of high school. You might say we're going steady permanently. ~smile~ We have a very big yellow tabby cat, Tiger. Think Garfield with a good attitude. He is actually bigger than our little Doxie mix, Penny.   I enjoy writing, knit...
