Stocking The Larder
“Cooking–yes, and living become simpler rite this month. I have made a list of satisfactory meals planned around only one cooked dish. This list is hung on the door of my kitchen cabinet for reference. When I am lacking ambition I do not wonder what to have for dinner.”
Nell B. Nichols (Author; August 28th, 1894 to May 28th, 1984)
“Won’t you agree with me, as you lie looking up at the leafy canopy above you, that a home now and in every other month must be a haven to the spirit as well as a place in which the physical needs are supplied?”
Nell B. Nichols (Author; August 28th, 1894 to May 28th, 1984)
“My own is my haven. I love to shut out the world and just exist in our hobbit house with my love and dog.”
