It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing.
What’s Been Occurring
Winter came this week for us. Only a inch or so but it was enough to remind me that the cold weather is here to stay.
The views were pretty even though I didn’t enjoy the cold.
I took yet another photo of the field in front of my parents with a small mountain (really a hill) in the background after the snowfall and thought about how many photographs of that view I have in all different seasons.
Much more than these but here are a few:
This upcoming week I hope to get Little Miss out and about a bit more. With everything going on with my son and I having to take over the care of my parents she hasn’t been able to get out much. This week I hope to get her at least to the local library and sadly, the local dump. That should be very educational. Ha!
What I/We’ve Been Reading
Recently Finished
I still haven’t finished anything!
In Progress
I am slow reading Stillmeadow Daybrook by Gladys Taber. Since each chapter is a month, I plan to read a chapter a month for the rest of 2026 and into 2027. I’m also reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.
I am still reading The Two Mrs. Abbotts by D.E. Stevenson, The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie, and Guilt of the Brass Thieves by Mildred Wirt Benson.
Up Soon
Something! I just don’t know what yet. Ha.
What The Family is Reading
Little Miss and I are enjoying a slow read of Rascal by Stirling North.
What I/We’ve Been Watching
Last week I watched Simon and Simon, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Odd Couple (movie version), and The Young In Heart with my mom.
What I’ve Been Writing
Last week on the blog I shared:
- Autumn of Jack: The Odd Couple (1968)
- Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot
- Autumn of Jack: My Fellow Americans
- Top Ten Book Characters I wish were real people
What I/We’ve Been Listening To
I am listening to And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie and narrated by Dan Stevens.
Book Quotes from my reading this week
Book quotes from my reading this week
“And whether rich or poor, well or ill, happy or sad, books can be a refuge, they do not change with changing circumstance, they are the open highway to yesterday, today and tomorrow wherever you will to travel.”
― Gladys Taber, Stillmeadow Daybook
Some Housekeeping
Erin (Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs), Cat (Cat’s Wire) and I host a monthly bookish link party called A Good Book and A Cup of Tea. This link-up is for book and reading posts or anything related to books and reading (even movies based on books!). Each link party will be open for a month. You can find that link up for this month here.
Each week, I host the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot with some great hosts. It goes live Thursday night, but you can share any kind of blog posts (family-friendly) there until Tuesday of each week. You can check my recent posts on the sidebar to the right for the most recent link party.

Goodness, I used to watch Simon and Simon a long time ago. I’d forgotten about that show! And The Dick Van Dyke show was such a classic! Those episodes never get old! The photos of the field in your parent’s backyard – taken in different seasons over many years – are so peaceful! I can see how that would be a special spot for you!
