Something to do while staying at home:

Another cool and damp day ahead. Today stay inside and try something a little more challenging. Take two smaller jigsaw puzzles (500 pieces or less) and pour all the pieces into a bowl. Mix them up, dump them out and put together two puzzles at once!

Rainy days are great for slow cooking. Prepare this home made Beef Stew and enjoy the cooking aroma all day long!

  • Let's have a "Throw Back Thursday" that is good for our sense of humor and our soul. Who remembers humorist Erma Bombeck (1927-1996)? (If you don't know her, now is a good time to get acquainted.) We found this website with some of her best quotes. Enjoy!

  • Snuggle up with your toddler and enjoy Goodnight with Dolly - new bedtimes stories each Thursday night read aloud by Dolly Parton (scroll down on the page for past readings)

Something to do while staying at home:


There is rain in the forecast the rest of this week. Use that time inside to learn a new craft - Macramé. Learn your knots with shorter pieces of inexpensive yarn. When you're ready, move on to jute or sturdy cord and make your own plant hanger for outdoor use later.
