German Butter Cake


In the kitchen today  . . .  German Butter Cake.  Seriously tasty. 


Obviously Cindy and I got through yesterday safe and sound. Just the waiting now. Praying neither one of us has a recall.  It was fun to spend an afternoon together however. That was the best part.  I do so love her you know. Very much.

I hope that you have a lovely day.  Whatever you get up to, don't forget!

  2. A day to search out pretties and enjoy them, it is snowing (almost white out conditions) so we are staying home and watching through the windows. Hope the weather is better for you.

  3. I look for joy in every single day now. Before, I did not do that, and this year is much different. I laugh more too. I saw a bright red cardinal yesterday, which made me smile. I may use up some leftover crochet thread to make heart ornaments. I have not decided on that yet.

    1. Cardinals are supposed to bring us messages of love from lost loved ones, so very good! I think red thread hearts sound lovely! Xoxo
