Fall

I love fall.
I love all of the colors of fall. I love the crunch of leaves under my feet. I love the way leaves smell. I love seeing piles of leaves. I love watching leaves fall as the wind blows.
I love fall.

True Confessions - Big Trouble

I would like to blame the contents of this box for the 10 pounds I need to lose. While in NYC I discovered this fabulous bakery, over and over again. (The LONG line going out the door was a real clue that tasty treats were inside!) Their Red Velvet cupcakes tasted just like the Red Velvet cake we had every Friday at Richland Elementary School in Memphis Tennessee. I used to live for school lunch on Fridays! The frosting isn't the cream cheese frosting you often see on Red Velvet cupcakes, but the same white sauce (sorta') frosting that I always had in the south. (I finally found a recipe like it - from a southern cook- and it is wonderful!) Anyway, I visited the bakery everyday while we were there and never left with just one. (I even brought one home on the plane.)

Alas, they do not do online orders.

Maybe that is a good thing.

Passing time without a computer


I have had a most frustrating fall. My beloved imac has been very sick and finally we had to get a transplant. Fortunately, we don't seem to have any rejection problems. Maybe now I can catch up on photos and events from the past few months. (Sound familiar?) We'll just start with our cute Jack.
