8 posts | 2 read
Thirty-something Gretchen Hanover is stuck. Seeking solace from a broken heart, she traded her wedding plans for home improvement shows and ice creambut she knows she cant live on Ben and Jerrys forever. She also knows that her enthusiastic Lab puppy has outgrown her tiny apartment. The perfect patch for Gretchens dilapidated plans? Shell become a first-time house-flipper. As ideas go, its daring and genius. Shell take out a short-term loan, buy a fixer-upper, renovate it, resell it, and use the profit for an adorable house of her own. What could be easier? But Gretchens plans to flip quickly flop when the house turns out to be in worse shape than she expected. She is relying on her retired contractor-father, but he wants to draw in his carpenter friend Noah Campbell. And although Noah is handy with tools, Gretchen isnt so sure about the baggage he brings with him. Will she be able to loosen her grip on the tools when it seems Noah may be her only help? A whimsical look at color swatches, mismatched curtain rods, and the building of relationships, A Mile in My Flip-Flops reminds us that it takes faith to renovate the heart, as well as the home. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I always cook lunch for my bestie and I as I don‘t care to eat out much. Friday is our day to escape. Today? While reading we ate kale, broccoli steam and chard salad with strawberry vinaigrette, sweet corn, grilled chicken with lemon and rice with broccoli. Fueling our bodies while we fuel our minds reading.

LazyDays Yum the salad sounds and looks good! 6y

Pasta, seafood 5. 4 dogs -two doxies Crash and Coco (yes Bandicoot) and a mini poodle named Murphy and a maltipoo named Mia. 6. Why wasn‘t I allowed to give up work for lent like my boss‘ 8 year old daughter suggested? I thought it was a brilliant idea! @CareBear
