Until I Found You by Victoria Bylin
This book sounded interesting and am glad I was able to obtain a copy for review.
It's about how a woman comes back to home to care for an aging adult parent and help run the newspaper that is published once a week.
The story also follows Nick Sheridan who is helping out at the newspaper and is also an author and photographer for a man's outdoor adventure magazine.
There are many secrets along the way that come to light. We learn the grandmother's story about her love life. Throughout the book there are parts talking of God and how he's played a part in their lifes.
Loved learning about the nature and the terrain and how the town helps one another in times of a crises.
There are others that the book also follows and like how they are all entertwined.
Bit typical and you know what the outcome will be when you first start reading the book but the journey is interesting and so much happens to them all.
 I received this book from BooksClub Network (bookfun.org) in exchange for my honest review.

Here to Stay by Melisa Tagg
I wanted to read this book for a few reasons: country side of VT and running an inn and an annual Christmas festival.
This book starts out following two people:  Autumn Kingsley who is helping her brother run the dilapidated inn she was handed when she mother wanted to retire. Lots of secrets we learn of from the past that play a part in the present.
Also Blake Hurizkers who run the upscale hotel in town and he's just returned to the family fold and been welecomed. Lots of secrets come out about the death of his brother and they all learn new details on the death.
When things don't go right-she needs help-manual labor at the inn, and he needs help planning the big Christmas festival they combine forces and help one another out.  She's had her fill of the inn and gets the job offer in Paris-loved hearing of this part of the travel.
But things don't go according to plan when she hopes a buyer comes to stay that he will make her an offer for the place. Lots of trust in God along with scripture quotes. Loved the travel, town and new things, especially how they celebrate the holiday.

Clifford Christmas by Norman Bridlewell
This audio book has sounds to help turn your page and is a delightful cheerful book to listen to.
Talks of how they start the holiday Season at Thanksgiving, after the parade and Clifford sees Santa.
Snow happens and their friends make a snowman with the help of Clifford, the dog. Ice hockey and then......the tree, way too big but just right for Cliffords' house..
Other favorite times, mistletoe, and Christmas eve. Book is not describing the details, you really need the book to follow along with the whole story. Other mishaps occur but all is set right.
The second half of this book is the same story, just told without page turn signals.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

The 4.1.1. Cook Book" Seasoning Mixes and Homemade Fixes
Wanted to scan through this book as we are using a lot more herbs and spices these days rather than salt.
Besides having the dishes there is also a section for the spices themselves. Good combination of what spices go with what food groups, meats, poultry, etc.
Beef stew packet would be my first one to try. Looked at a few others and even using sweet butter those won't be used at our house due to our diet needs.
Lots of other mixtures of spices to try out from this book: meatloaf, Italian dressing, Greek salad dressing to name a few.
Other tips about how to clean items, gardening, and so much more. Defintely a book I'll be keeping on hand and handy.
