We&amp;#39;ve had some snow and some very cold weather, but nothing like the winter we had last year.  That is a blessing.  My sister pointed out that way of storing your bedding to me a few years ago.  It works too.  I used to be hunting pillow cases and now the sheets and pillow cases are stored together.  It is a great idea.  You new painting is good and I love the quote with it.  Hope your Tuesday is a terrific one!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/2963831941117760006/comments/default/6497453934301665443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/2963831941117760006/comments/default/6497453934301665443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/simple-womans-day-book_10.html?showComment=1326202304145#c6497453934301665443' title=''/><author><name>I'm mostly known as 'MA'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Kj_epqm2SQs/TqGgnKgz2TI/AAAAAAAApTI/848HoEm2quA/s220/securedownload.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/simple-womans-day-book_10.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-2963831941117760006' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/posts/default/2963831941117760006' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1852737304'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-4425709180667329087</id><published>2012-01-10T12:46:09.961Z</published><updated>2012-01-10T12:46:09.961Z</updated><title type='text'>Sadie sounds really good!</title><content type='html'>Sadie sounds really good!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/2963831941117760006/comments/default/4425709180667329087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/2963831941117760006/comments/default/4425709180667329087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/simple-womans-day-book_10.html?showComment=1326199569961#c4425709180667329087' title=''/><author><name>The Blonde Duck</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00085499120024055465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aGqPUf2sN64/SWLO_0VvxMI/AAAAAAAACGY/lVElOs2rrNM/S220/headshot+1.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/simple-womans-day-book_10.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-2963831941117760006' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/posts/default/2963831941117760006' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-715029313'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-7052517734102730354</id><published>2012-01-10T08:22:51.726Z</published><updated>2012-01-10T08:22:51.726Z</updated><title type='text'>Looks like you have a busy day ahead Marie. enjoy....</title><content type='html'>Looks like you have a busy day ahead Marie. enjoy..hope the weather keeps dry and mild for you..&lt;br /&gt;I have bible study here this morning and also looking after neighbours corgi hairy dog she is going with another neighbour to Slimbridge the wild bird centre..There wll be hairs left everywhere I have never known such a dog to shed his coat everywhere.
