I've learned how to put pictures directly into my blog posts, instead of adding links. Here's one of my few, very few, own online paintings. "Brown on Brown by Brown" *********************************************************************************** Laundry today. I love the smell of fresh-laundered sheets and pillowcases. I've thinking of getting something to put in the washing machine for the last rinse, to give my laundry a lavender scent. Incidentally, I used to love English Lavender by Yardley of London. Maybe I can finc an ad for my collection. ******************************************************************************** I ordered a Chalet School book today, "Adrienne and the Chalet School". It's out of sequence, but I order the books as they become available and affordable. And at least this isn't an abridged version; it's one of the reprints from Girls Gone By. ******************************************************************************** Priests For Life ******************************************************************************* I found something for my online collection. ****************************************************************************** CURRENTLY READING "Lavender Laughs in the Chalet School", by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer. {juvenile fiction, school series} "The Art Spirit", by Robert Henri (nonfiction) "The Interior Castle" by St. Teresa Of Avila {Catholic, Spiritual Reading, Classic} "Pirkei Avos Treasury" (I prefer this to the version I started reading online, because it has commentaries, which the online version lacks.) (Judaica, nonfiction} *************************************************************************** I love it that so many parts of the Mass on EWTN are sung. *************************************************************************************One of my all-time favorite books is one that Gandhi loved and Hitler ordered destroyed: "The Story of Ferdinand", by Munro Leaf. It may be a picture book, but it is one I would mark "All ages".
