Cold day. Even the light feels cold. My eyes ache for something green on days like this one. I get home and fuss around the house, moving vases holding scavenged green things. It warms me up somehow.
I've had a wonderfully busy new year. After waking up January first in Kansas City, I've since zoomed back to Texas and then over to Arkansas, where I'm working on a new project during the week. Late this afternoon I made it back to Texas, dropped my bags by the door and headed to the kitchen. Time to cook.Speaking of, looks as though we may have to make room for a few more folks around here. AOL has asked me to write a weekly online column, gabbing about food and my life and "waxing poetic", as the editor suggested I tend to do. Suits me fine. I'm eager to make new things, take new pictures, and putter around the kitchen a bit more. Sounds great, doesn't it? Especially on a day as cold as this.
Hope you and the new year had a kind introduction. I have a good feeling about this one, about 2010. I really do...
Yeah for you! Can't wait to read your weekly column. I've enjoyed your blog for quite some time. Blessings to you in the new year!
ReplyDeleteGreen things always cheer me up as well. Now if only I could keep them alive!
ReplyDeleteYour new venture with AOL sounds fun! Looking forward to wonderful things for you this year-and hearing all about them!

ReplyDeleteAOL's offer sounds wonderful and I think that the editor pegged you well. You write beautifully, you are an excellent photographer, and you love to cook and putter. Looking forward to it!

ReplyDeleteWhat splendid news!!! You will be great--can't wait to read! If you're in Arkansas- drop an email if you're ever interested in meeting two babyboomer stickhorsecowgirls when you're working in Arkansas! We recently met Sandra from Add Humor and Faith and what a great time we had! Our community is smaller than we think!

ReplyDeleteHi Brin, this is my first visit to your blog......and WOW! I have found someone as mad as myself about knitting. Yahoo! I can't put those needles down for a second. I will enjoy myself now going through your older posts. Have a great day. Kind regards, Anita.
ReplyDeleteHi Brin, this is my first visit to your blog and WOW!....I have found someone else that's crazy over knitting. I don't like to put my needles down for a second! I'm off now to catch up on your older posts. Have the best day. Kind regards, Anita.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that things are looking up for you Brin. You've had a pretty tough year and it makes my heart glad that you have a new job, a new home and now a cool gig writing for AOL. Who knows where it all will lead? Oh yeah, God knows:>) Will your column be here or the AOL home page or what? Can't wait to see it:>)
ReplyDeleteMuch love
Kathy
glad things are looking up for you Brin...
ReplyDeleteSuch good news about your writing gig. I knew it was only a matter of time someone would have you write for them. Yes, I agree 2010 is certainly looking better than the last decade. What a hard one. Your quilt is great - just wish I had your ability to pick material. Happy New to you!!!!

Sounds like things are off to a great start for you in this new year. Misty Edwards has hit a note in my spirit for a long time now. I know a wonderful young person in IHOP this year, and I get all kinds of updates on the good things God is doing.
