In reply to Carrie.

Carrie, your newsy comments were a blessing to read — I feel like I know a little bit more about you now, and that’s a good thing. I had to chuckle about your desire to retire to the Iron Range. 🙂 I hope you stay warm, and I thank you so much for stopping by here and leaving your very welcome comments, dear Carrie. xxoo

Lots of words to read and ponder today.
James Herriot books have always been a favorite of mine. I consider Scotland one of my “Mother Lands” – Scotch/Welsh/Irish on my maternal side (Lowry). I am the opposite of you. I always tell my husband that I would like to retire to the Iron Range.
I just heard about the book, Sparkly Green Earrings. I think my daughter might enjoy reading it if she can find the time. A 3 month old and 18 month old keep her busy. You are blessed to be an integral part of your grand-children’s lives.
I am still trying to convince my husband that we could paint our kitchen cabinets. I too am drawn to the photos of kitchens with a two tone color scheme on the cabinets.
I enjoyed the description of your blizzard on Sunday. We woke up to ice which turned to rain during the day and snow by evening – crazy weather.
We have lived many different places in 31 years of marriage and none of the denominations we have attended have observed Lent. I like how Ann Voskamp focuses on Lent.
Thanks for sharing so much of your thoughts.

As you know I don’t do Lent either. I appreciate the principal of preparing the heart for Passover/Good Friday but too many religious overtones for me.

I so enjoyed this post & would live in Scotland if it didn’t snow! 🙂 So much of Britain is so lovely I am looking forward to going back one day. [I believe we have a call to the islands….Yay!!!!]

Also, thank you for you know what! 😀

In reply to Kay in Cornwall. How interesting, Kay! Too bad we couldn't just happen to run into each other there! (you see my daydreaming continues...) I can't wait to hear about your trip. And congratulations on five happy years! xxoo

We don’t usually participate in any lenten programmes and we don’t really observe the season. But, this year we are doing a York course on lent at our local chapel.
Funnily enough, (speaking of York), only last week Alan and I booked a five day holiday for September this year. And we are off to Yorkshire! 🙂 Isn’t that strange?! We had decided to choose between the Isle of Wight or Yorkshire, but we found that our local agents only had trips for Yorkshire available anyway. We like to go away in September because the weather is usually pretty good and this year will be our fifth wedding anniversary on 20th September.
