What is it with me and antique $8.00 chairs?  We came home with another bit from the past.  So homey and charming.  And steadfast to have lasted all these years.  I like those qualities.

It has a damaged seat, although a sturdy attempt at repairs left it pretty solid.  I'm thinking of sewing a ruffled cushion over foam....to cover this corner.  When I get some energy.  Which is not happening this week,  but one of these days it will. Surely.

I was just over at Amazon browsing the free e-books for a few of the 'Fireside' books.  When the book becomes so old it can be considered public domain.  I really enjoyed one by Amy LeFeuvre, called 'Teddy's Button'.  Free and what a sweet story, with spiritial lessons throughout.

Another author I'm enjoying is Hesba Stretton.  She wrote many, many books in the 1800's.  Her Father owned a bookstore and her Mother was a devout Christian, which influenced Hesba's writings in a precious way, as you might imagine.  I just came across this bit over at Amazon that told that Hesba Stretton was really a pen name used by Sarah Smith.  Hesba is a nicer author's name I think...quaint and catchy at the same time.

I just started reading 'A Thorny Path' by her and the main character's name is Hagar.  How's that name to get your interest! It did mine anyway.  The dumb thing I did was actually buy this one..(after downloading about 8 free books of hers) and let it download to my pc instead of the Kindle.   Whaaaaa, thats what happens to be sleepy ...sleepy, on a grey November day.

Update!  I went to Amazon....'Manage your Kindle' and easily sent the book 'A Thorny Path' to my Kindle app.   amazingly easy.  =)
