Hot Chocolate and a Book...





A wonderful sight greeted me as I came through the door of my sunporch this evening. There, propped nicely up on my bamboo settee, was the much anticipated Hot Chocolate and a Book swap package. My package came from Erin at Bookish Knitster. Included was the book "The Dogs of Babel" by Carolyn Parkhurst, (which I have not read yet!), a great cream and blue mug, and three packages of hot chocolate mix. Supreme chocolate, hazelnut and mint. I close my eyes and imagine a dark, rainy evening. I'm in my flannel jammies, curled up in my recliner with my blanket, book and mug of hot chocolate. My lamp is glowing overhead, the house is clean, the phone is not ringing and my family is tucked away safely in our little blue cottage. Thank you Erin, for giving me a smile today.

May you all be blessed with rainy nights, a good book and a mug of hot chocolate...

You too can visit Erin here

Looking at the link you tried to put in I think your problem is easy to fix. You typed BloTspot instead of BloGspot. I do that all the time. For some reason I don't seem to be able to type "blogspot" without messing it up.

Darn! Tried that and it didn't work either. When I use the "add a link" button when I'm posting, it doesn't show up at all. I think I'm just a computer idiot!

Hey that sounds like a great swap. Nothing better than cuddling with a good book on a cool rainy night and enjoying some yummy cocoa. I'm with you on these kind of simple but soul satisfying pleasures.
