In the here and now | Real-life stories
We are closing in our remodel (more about that below) and this week I had to head downtown to pick out a stone remnant for our utility sink area, that’s always fun — not, Denver traffic has gotten so bad, I feel like I am back So Cal at times!
Each week, I Zoom with my MasterMind Bloggers Group. How I love and appreciate these women. I’m highlighting one below, so be sure to check it out! Wild horses couldn’t keep from those 8 a.m. meetings – okay, maybe, because I love horses and grew up reading all of the Misty of Chincoteague books (remember those? Maybe I’m dating myself!)
Anyway, back to our meeting; we share our wins and our whines, things we’ve learned. We’re currently challenging one another on new content and cleaning up old posts as we head into 4th quarter. And then I spent the afternoon at the library with my friend Eliza, who is also in our group – I love Tuesdays!
Main Floor Remodel Update | Week 11
This past weekend was a big one! He finished off our pantry (except the doors), and the laundry area, started work on the coat/broom closet and built the cabinet for our utility sink and cubbies.
Pictures speak louder than words, so updated pictures are below.
The small cubbies are for baskets to store winter gloves, hats, etc. as well as for my larger appliances (think KitchenAid, Crock Pot, etc.)

What Readers Are Saying about…
It’s not too early to start thinking about those holiday sides, but so you know, this was a reader review just this week! We love this recipe! And I love how she made it her own!
“Brought this for a potluck and it was great. I used smoked gruyere, added bacon and used garlic salt. I also added lemon zest to cut through the richness. It was so good that I made it again the next day to take for lunches during the week. You can take this recipe in so many different directions. Thank you so much.”

Weekly Inspiration | God Gives Strength in the Waiting
Some encouragement from my favorite devotional book right now; this week, this one spoke so much to me, I hope it encourages you, too!
Breathe Deep and Know: God is growing your strength and courage as you wait on Him.
What are you waiting for today?
A job? A relationship? An answer to prayer?
Are you waiting for healing? For change? For some kind of rescue?
Are you waiting for the pain to diminish or the storm to life or the situation you’re in to get easier?
We spend a lot of our lives in seasons of waiting. Waiting is hard. Sometimes it seems like it will never end. We get impatient and just want things to work out already. But miracles happen in the waiting. Time spent waiting is never wasted. God is always working, always forming us and transforming us as we wait. And as we often see only in hindsight, some things grow best in the patient seasons of pausing and waiting.
If you are waiting today, ask God to give your heart courage and strengthen your soul as you wait patiently for Him.
Inhale: I will wait for you, Lord.
Exhale: Give me strength and courage.
From Breath As Prayer
I pray you have a beautiful weekend! Thank you for supporting The Fresh Cooky today! God bless you!
