Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . these are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share!

In The English Kitchen today, Caraway Seed & Lemon Cake. A recipe from Tamasin Day Lewis.  She was a popular cook and food writer in the U.K. and this is a fabulous cake from her book, Food You Can't Say No To.  Delicious. Simply delicious.

I hope that today works well for you. May it be filled with light and love. Just waiting here for the medical calls re Eileen. Hopefully they call when they said that they would.  Whatever you get up today, I hope it brings you joy and peace. Don't forget!

I guess I just enjoy the creativity of others and wish I could do the same!

I had a call from the hospital yesterday. They have set up an appointment for my next surgery (to remove the stent I am assuming.) for Monday next. I am to be at the hospital by 8:30 a.m. which means I will need to leave here by 7:30 a.m. I am supposed to have someone stay with me for 24 hours afterwards. It is supposed to snow on Monday so I don't know if it will happen or not. We cannot be driving that far in a snow storm.  Plus I don't have anyone to stay with me, but that is a minor problem I can try to work around. Looking at the amount of snow expected however, I really cannot see it happening. I will need to reschedule most certainly. When you live an hour away from the hospital, in the wintertime this is the risk.

I did get out for supper last night with Cindy and Dad. It was great to be out of the house!
