Rose Wilder Lane is the only child of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her husband Almanzo Wilder. I have been to the house in Mansfield, Missouri where Rose grew up and where Laura wrote the Little House books (though actually it is known now that Rose had a huge part in the writing of those books). Rose went on to become a pretty famous writer in her own rite.
Susan Wittig Albert writes the China Bayles herb shop mysteries that I like so much. She also writes the Darling Dahlia series, which I really like too. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this on the library shelf.
It is a faction novel, fiction made from mostly facts, about Rose Wilder Lane. I am loving it too. If you are a Little House fan, you might want to look this one up.

Another Teapot ... from Hooo ?
I love teapots! I love tea! My very cool hubby bought me this teapot after Christmas from Cracker Barrel.
He is a cutey. Oh, and so is the teapot owl! :) Getting a little collection going here - teapots, not hubbys.

Happy 2014 !!!
A New Year has begun.
Perfect calendar for me - all rusty stuff! Bought it at Hobby Lobby.
Resolutions:
Last year I worked on being grateful - this year be even more grateful.
Last year I worked on reading the Bible - this year read the Bible more frequently.
Last year I worked on getting off of 2 medicines - this year get off 2 more.
Last year I tried to better understand people - this year keep trying.
Last year I worked on having a better relationship with my hubby - this year do a better job at this.
Last year I did NOT work on my weight - this year I will lose some weight.
Last year I worked on making myself quilt more - this year I want to quilt more.
Recommended book for the New Year: Everyday Simplicity - A Practical Guide to Spiritual Growth by Robert J. Wicks.
Recommended tea for the New Year: Tazo Refresh-mint - peppermint, spearmint with a pinch of tarragon.
