Good morning my dear,

I hope this finds you cozied up with a blanket and warm cup of deliciousness. I am delighted to say I pulled out my trusty blanket this week because a few of our mornings were cold! And several of them were quite warm, but I’ll take what I can get!

This week we celebrated David’s Mom’s birthday. She is a literal sunflower of a person and always shines so brightly. So I made her favorite dishes for the occasion: Cioppino (a tomato and white wine based fish stew that originated in San Francisco in the 1800’s) and pecan pie squares. Two delicious treats that we all savored.

This week our schedule changed slightly, Ellie and I went for a few of our morning walks without David. So we picked a few different routes…well Ellie picked them I should say. We went down one of our old paths and found new things to see and enjoyed the gifts they brought.

I think there is something pretty magical about changing the path normally taken. The way the morning glow reflects off the wetlands can only be seen down on this lower trail, and we would have missed it going the usual way. Life has been showing me lately that the regular path is comfortable and beautiful in it’s way, and the other path has important lessons, messages and beauty there as well. Sometimes that little nudge to take the other path needs to be listened to…

That’s all for now. I hope this coming week brings you a new joy and a delicious treat. I’ll see you back here…

Same time next week.
