With my daughter’s wedding just 2 months away, I’ve got a gaggle of three dresses brooding in my closet. All three I got on sale, online. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate store shopping and store mirrors in store dressing rooms? Bleh. I don’t think I’ll know which of the three I’ll wear until just before that day. I’ll donate what I don’t wear to a local women’s community closet. I’d like other opinions on style – give your honest opinion – which would you choose – A, B, or C.
A. This one is a beaded affair, with a bow on one shoulder. Not a style I’ve ever worn before, I’m not a girly girl, but it grabbed my attention. The pic is awful but the best I could find online.
B.
C.
Three very different vibes. And I am heavier than the models shown, by about 20 pounds, so the fit is a little different, nothing just hangs/drapes as beautifully as these women portray.
If you’re in the market for shoes for a special occasion, shoes you’ll be comfortable in all night long and can actually dance in… naturalizer is a great brand for just such a shoe. I bought these online and they’re super comfortable and still very pretty… The Vanessa.
Cold dark winter nights here on the farm inspire me to cook, and a good hearty soup with a fresh baked bread is one of our favorite meals here in this house. Bread baking intimidates me, I give all of you sourdough starter people a gold star for your adventurous spirit. As for me, I’ll stick with the super easy to follow New York Times No Knead Bread recipe… pictured below. I use a specific Le Crueset covered kettle to make it.
As for the soup…… picture doesn’t do the taste justice….. Use an immersion blender once it’s cooked, to make it creamy. You can leave some chunks whole if preferred.

While recuperating from surgery I have worked on my newest painting a bit… still much to do but it’s a fun journey – This is an area I have hiked several times, the view into the valley is the Connecticut River…. I’ll share it again when it’s finished.
Who couldn’t use a good laugh, right? Saw these shared on Facebook, and laughed right out loud.
Time to put the barn boots on and get out there to feed and turn out the critters. I hope all is well in your world, thank you for stopping in –
#2 would be my choice, and I think it would look awesome on you.
I think the second one would suit you very well. I like the arm coverage with it, too. I’ll be looking for a mother-of-the-bride dress next year and the thought is daunting! -Jenn
B, for sure. With your dark hair, beautiful! Love the Slinky toy one!

Definitely “B” – beautiful. And thank you for the soup recipe, which I look forward to trying.

I loved Naturalizer shoes for when I was working. Back in the day, I could wear them all day long and then go out for the evening in comfort. Oh to be young again!
I must try one of those no knead bread recipes. I love homemade bread and with the prices of good bread these days, it makes sense. Stay warm!
