 Hello Saturday

Tracey and Scott came for a visit Friday morning, bringing some yummy banana bread right from the oven.  It’s one of our favorites and we enjoyed every bite!

I was looking for a sunny day and had plans to sit on the porch and read.  The weather has been so good lately, and then, I get up to a cloudy overcast day, no sunshine to be found.  Blah Blah Blah.

I’ve started a new book. . .

Billy Fixit is a heart-warming small-town story.

 

A heartwarming story of country life.

Billy had lived in the quiet town of Grand Valley for as long as anyone could remember. He was the town’s general repairman, looking after the town’s needs; in return, the townspeople looked after him. People knew him to be polite but mysterious, preferring to keep to himself. Billy’s outlook was simple; he had many acquaintances, but few friends.

That’s why people found it curious when he struck up an unlikely friendship with ten-year-old Joe Kovacs, the youngest member of a family having just moved from the city. Although he found friends, it was Joe’s odd bond with Billy that helped him feel truly at home in the rural town.

What no one realized was Billy carried a burden, one that haunted him for his lifetime. Now, a chance opportunity arose, one that would allow him to challenge the guilt he carried. With Joe by his side, he was finally ready to face the fears he’d run from for years.

I’m several chapters in and now familiar with the place, and I’ve met a lot of characters, but not Billy Fixit!  Surely, he’ll show up soon.

It’s turned into a really gloomy day, I’m going to turn on the TV and see if I can find a good movie.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.” 

Lamentations 3:22–23 

Until Next Time

  5. That book does sounds interesting!
    I have some very over ripe bananas and should probably make banana bread.
    (Isn't it strange that we all seem to call it banana BREAD when really it's a loaf?)

  6. The book sounds good. I've started baking banana nut muffins because when I make the bread the top of it never seems to get done.

  7. What a great treat that banana bread was, and even sweeter because of who delivered it right from the oven!! That book sounds like a good one! I need to see if it is on Kindle. I hope you have found some sunshine this weekend for that front porch sit!! xo

  10. Warm banana bread is one of my favorites too. With some butter melted on it and a glass of cold milk. Yummy.
    The book sounds good. I hope your weather improves. After so much warm weather, we had 9 1/2 inches of snow Thursday and it's 3F today. Next Thursday is supposed to be 66F so lots of the snow will be gone. Hurray!
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy
