I Bake.....

I made a fun double chocolate cake for a family birthday party.  It turned out so darling with the purple and green dots. It also tasted pretty good...a little rich but very tummy.


Man-speak




Overheard from downstairs-

Oliver (6) walks into room where his Dad is folding laundry.
Oliver says, "Your names Bob and I'm Joe."
Levi replies, "OK."
Oliver pauses and then says in a cool deep voice, " Hey Bob."
Levi replies, " Hey Joe."

The Gift of Change



"Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed." (Eileen Caddy, Spiritual Writer)
