what a lovely treat on Saturday evening…
I got to meet a delightful one month old who stopped by for a visit along with her sibling and parents…
she is sweet and agreeable and we had some lovely cuddles before she fell asleep in my arms…
so I just sat there, happy as a clam;-)…
looking forward to more cuddles;-)…

we had another wonderful time at Lily Stone Cafe in Rosenort…
it was just over a year since we were last there, and it was as delightful as it had been previously…
once again, we had a room to ourselves…
we had a variety of teas and a tasty assortment of sandwiches and dainties…
my favourite savoury items were the the cucumber sandwiches and the quiche…
surprisingly, my favourite sweet was the decadent Kit Kat cheesecake, considering that I am not that fond of cheesecake, lol…
we were stuffed and happy when we left and weren’t rushed out the door, even though it was their closing time;-)…
the drive there and back was not too long and although it was overcast we only encountered a few drops of rain on our way home…
but, it still amazes me that there seems to be traffic everywhere and at all times these days, lol…

had a sweet snack tonight…
pistachios and a few pieces of a Lindt chocolate bar…
just this morning someone commented about how well I am watching my sugar intake…
and then I ate cake at lunch;-(… it was a small piece, but I ate the whole thing…
I don’t care much for cake… my mom always made cherry pie for my birthday, lol… but this cake was amazing…

last night I made soup for today’s Souper Thursday… stopped on our way home and picked up sweet potatoes, carrots and coconut milk… this sweet potato and carrot soup is really easy…
it turned out very well… veggies, salad, crackers and fruit appeared and we had a great lunch… and everyone enjoyed it… every last drop was eaten…
a while ago I ordered a number of chocolate bunnies for a fundraiser, so this morning the Easter Bunny dropped them off at each person’s desk…
made some cute little notes to go with them…
such fun…
spent a few minutes admiring my beautiful new orchid this morning… the older one still has four or five blossoms on it…
although I’ve been struggling with a headache it was a pretty sweet day…
