In Our Cozy Home This Week – No. 109

Happy Thanksgiving Friday! If you are an American, I hope you are having a lovely holiday weekend. We are still planning on making our Thanksgiving meal this weekend when Caroline feels more like enjoying it.

Other than that, it’s a quiet weekend around our home with puttering and making the most of the days.

This Week’s Artwork

Today I’m featuring another oil on canvas by Albert Anker. This is Knitting Girl Watching The Toddler In A Cradle (1885).
I covered Anker’s bio in Simple Living This Week No. 102. I believe these are all Anker’s paintings I’ve used to this point. I didn’t make a note of the artist when I first started using different artwork for posts. A few of them I need to go back and have David redo because we were using a different source when we started. But I think this is all of them. There is something wholesome and real that I appreciate about Anker’s work.

Home Life

Since this is a holiday week and we’re still recovering from sickness, I’m going to keep this simple today and put everything under home life.

David spent a lot of time yesterday dusting, vacuuming, etc. in preparation for Christmas decorating. He moved all the furniture and did a thorough job. We are hoping to have all of the Christmas decorations out before Monday. A lot of it will depend on energy levels.

I’ve been doing behind the scenes work on my website since I haven’t felt like doing much else. I added four new posts, republished some archived posts, and kept the forum up-to-date with new info for the members.
