Christmas in January!

On Monday I received a very kind reply from my email to D.

She read my entire blog!

AND she invited me to her home for lunch later this month!

We spoke on the phone today and she was so gracious and personable.

I'll be getting this beloved book of mine signed by our very own Daryl V. Hoole.

It's like Christmas in January!

Stay tuned!

I'll post all about it later this month!

Oh my word!!! That is so exciting! I have a copy of the book and it is signed by her, but not to me. You DESERVE at least a lunch from all the homemaking that you have done this past year.

I remember getting a copy of The Art of Homemaking many years from my amazing Mother. What an inspiring book. I really think that .... YOU....Becky Beck (great name for a author) should write a book. I have really enjoyed looking at your many, many projects you have tackled so far. Your husband and children are truly blessed to have you steering the Beck Ship.

Daryl Hoole (aka D) says in her book, It is sad to hear a woman lament (I had to look that word up, it means--to express sorrow, to mourn), "I am just a housewife." If only she could realize that she is a homemaker by divine appointment. Making a home is a special mission for a woman. It is no accident. This is where God intended her to be...This task is second in importance to none...running a home challenges any other role in requiring intelligence, ingenuity, and abilities unnumbered. It...can bring the greatest joy and satisfaction of any type of work. We women must be proud to be homemakers.

I am proud to be a homemaker (and an American) and hope all you homemakers out there are proud to be too!

The Rules

1. I have to work on cleaning, organizing, or finishing something every day of 2010 with the exception of Saturday (since that's the day we get ready for Sunday), Sunday (it's a commandment not to work on Sunday Dueteronomy 5:12-15), holidays, and vacations.
2. I am to use the book, "The Art of Homemaking" by Daryl V. Hoole for daily inspiration and direction.
3. I can enlist help from my family and friends when necessary.
4. I am allowed to do a project on a Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday IF it doesn't interfere with any family fun or break any commandments.
5. Anyone can play along!
