  1. Yum, cream split donuts. When we had a corner store in England we had a baker who would deliver fresh baked ones, always had to stop, make a cup of tea and indulge in one. Thanks for jogging my memory, Have a lovely day.

  2. Lots of lovely favourites today, Marie. I think you need to get yourself a little orange kitten. It would be so lucky to have a home with you. Love and hugs, Elaine

  5. The Donut looked so yummy! I really don't need one though. I loved all the photos of various things. I especially loved the animal ones. I know you still miss your Mitzie. Book will always be a favorite. I love the classical music too and I feel so blessed to have a piano to play; even though I'm not really talented in doing so.
    Sending hugs your way!
