346 - riding the back roads
347 - while listening to audio books
348 - being made to slow down

Ooh, now I want doughnuts. Love this post!
By the way, now you've got us hooked on Downtown Abbey. And we've only got one episode left until they leave us hanging!
Lovely. We drove a ways today to see friends and saw two carriages like the one you pictured and backroads as well. So good in so many ways. And what a pic of that moon!
Sounds like a super day! Where you live, looks just like where I live (the scenery)....and I like being made to slow down very much. And...I like donuts.
i want aunt barbie's donuts. badly. my husband just made popcorn but i don't care. i want aunt barbie's donuts.
oh yeah, and i love screwtape letters.
i might dream about those donuts.
Quite so. And those likings Screwtape distrusts he distrusts quite right, I think... because if your liking doughnuts brings you to getting lots of them for your friends... and my liking blueberry yoghurts makes for a blueberry yoghurt waiting for me almost every time father goes shopping... there's something going on, isn't there? ;-)
And...dance by the light of the moon...Oh, I DO hope you stopped to throw a rock at the old Granville Place!
Screwtape Letters is some of the best theology I've ever read.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight...
days like these... easy to see that all is joy and grace.
celebrating your gifts with you, and loving the photographs of telling :)
Sounds like a 110 percent great day!
Oooo, an audio version of Screwtape! I've got to get me one.
Your day sounds pretty close to paradise...
Leslie, do try to get this paticular version. Andy Serkis of LOTRs fame (Gollum) is Screwtape - brilliant! Focus on the Family put it out.
Those donuts look AMAZING. My mouth is watering...and you're St. Patty's Day feast...mmmmm! Glad you had a great week.
lovely, yummy and profound all at once!
GAH! You did it again! Now I want a donut. Wait, what I really mean to say is, I love everything about this post.
Jodi:
What a grand day you had, a brief moment in time filled with joy and love and laughter, I loved following along with your wonderful photo's and yes yum to the donuts and all the potluck food, - now I would love a cup of tea and to listen to "Screwtape" and yes a hot fresh donut,

Yum. Doughnuts! They are our "if you are good at the shops" treat at the moment. (Yes, I am into bribery. I am that mother!)
Loved seeing the shots of your journey. We have a few brave pony and traps around here, but not the same style at all.
This sounds like a perfect day. Doughnuts, a great book, and a slow ride in the country sounds wonderful!
i love this glimpse in to your day...
xo
I’m here from Ann’s today
And - 348 - being made to slow down - that was the thank you on your list I most liked because I could hand out for a week on that analogy – that’s a story – I think that’s a story…
God Bless and Keep you and all of yours.
Slowing down while eating donuts and listening to CS Lewis on tape while driving on the scenic back roads on the way to celebrating with friends and then dancing home by the light of the moon sounds like one great St. Patrick's day! Hope this week has even more blessings.
