adult and sensible all the time.
How good it is to have a sister
[or two] whose heart is as young
as your own.
~Pam Brown
A Saturday spend on
the road again, this
time to find just the
right gift for an upcoming
birthday.
Rearranging dishes to
accommodate the depression glass
that once belonged to my
grandmother.
Beginning a 10-day fast and
making it to day two without
cheating!
Finally starting to read
The Bell Jar that has been
on my list for years. Not
sure why I've never read
Sylvia Plath before, but it's
about time.
Missing my sisters, a lot.
I had the best time with
the three of us together again.
Watching the clouds blow in
from the tropical storm off the
coast so beach plans are on
hold.
Now a whole day in front of
me....maybe I'll knit, how
about you?
Joining with Amanda for
Weekending.
Goodness Tracey, you are brave starting a fast at the weekend - good luck with that, I would love to know how you get on with it. That is the first time I have heard of depression glass, very interesting - Yvonne xx
ReplyDeletebeautiful glass! and your grandmother's to boot - cherish it.
ReplyDeletenever read plath? enjoy. will be curious to see what you think of the bell jar - having read it several times over the course of my life, i get something different each time.
I read The Bell Jar for the first time when I was 19 and it was transformative for me. I should read it again to see what I think of it now. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteJust saw my sister this weekend and I loved every blessed moment! Good luck with your fast.
ReplyDeleteI envy you all with siblings.....I did OK growing up as an only, but now I really really miss having one; beware.....I adopt "sisters" all the time!!!I
ReplyDeleteMy mom collected depression glass for the longest time! Pink, in particular. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image of depression glass! Joining in the chorus anxious to hear your impression of The Bell Jar.
ReplyDeleteOh... three sisters here, also... simply the best!
It's hard when the guests we love leave. Maybe you could Skype your step-sisters? And good job starting Sunday with a whole day ahead of you. My knitting didn't get nearly the attention I wanted it to this weekend. Hopefully yours did.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment. Just wanted to say they are my sisters, not steps. Skype? A wonderful invention. Did get some great knitting in since it has poured here on and off all day.
DeleteI love the sound of your fast! Since I've started to make raw my staple I've felt like I've got so much more energy!
ReplyDeleteA whole day ahead to knit sounds dreamy :)
Enjoy!
Skype sometimes is the only thing that gets me through the day... I know all about missing sister(s)!! Less than 3 weeks for me though and she'll be here, wooohooo!
ReplyDeleteSending you big hugs, Tracey!
Oh, so glad you had time with your sisters. I miss mine! There are 3 of us girls, too, in 3 different states. Can't wait until Christmas to all be together again. Glad you got some great knitting time :)
ReplyDeletethe glass is beautiful
ReplyDeleteand happy to hear about the sisters...
I know how good my little girls have it! I was a lonely only child.

Isn't it crazy how much we miss sisters after we spend some time with them. There are days when I miss mine like crazy. Hope the fast is working out for you. Had to pass this time, but maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteHope you make it to the beach soon. It's one of my favorite places. I'm knitting today and really enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you saw your sisters again. I can feel how much they mean to you!
