My Favorite Things . . .

 

 

A few of the things in life that make my heart go pitter pat. Maybe they will do the same thing for yours. ♥♥♥    I'm pretty sure however, that these things mainly make my own heart sing.     

 

Signs of Spring. I saw a pair of robins this morning.  It is snowing lightly, but robins are a good sign. Spring is on its way. In the UK it was bumble bees . . . the big fat fuzzy bumbling ones.

Vanilla cake with vanilla frosting  . . .  best cake I ever tasted was a slice of one of Peggy Porchen's cakes.  She is a cake baker in London. She made the wedding cake for the daughter of the people at the manor.  I still remember how good it was with longing . .

And those are my favorite things for today. I would like to add just one last one and that is answered prayers!  Elaine is now home from the hospital!  Yay!  May she continue to feel better with each day that passes! Love you Elaine!

 *As long as you wake up in the morning,

you are still in the game.

As long as you are breathing,

you are still a fighter.

Nothing can stop you from moving forward.

Absolutely nothing.

Still  not feeling well this  morning.  Cramps etc. This is a particularly bad bout of IBS/Diverticulitis.  I probably need antibiotics, but who wants to go and sit in the emergency room for 8 hours when you are feeling like this . . . its been since Sunday.  I have a phone consult with a Doctor this morning at 9:40 for another reason, I may mention it to her  . . . 

In The English Kitchen today . . .  Pork Chop Schnitzel. Delicious!

Have a wonderful Thursday. Whatever you get up to, don't forget!
