Such Plans
Oh, my friends–I had such plans. Plans for granny squares, and luscious desserts and St.Patrick’s Day fun and…and…and…
then this wonderful thing happened.
And now, it’s hard to think of much else other than kissing that sweet baby’s neck and touching the back of his feather-soft hands and playing with those teeny, tiny toes.
Luckily, big sister Miss Chompy is here to keep us on track. She says we will be making a special treat for St. Patrick’s day this very afternoon, and that is that. She also says that it needs to involve lots and lots of marshmallows. That’s very important. Watch for it. Sounds like it’s happening.
Honestly–who could argue with that face?

Our New Love
Winner!!

Teresa says:
“I’ve made wonderful, delicious smoothies, Christmas Hugs, simple and beautiful and the most recent and simple brownie recipe that I baked into a 6 shape as a surprising birthday cake, for my 6 year old son’s party :)”
Congratulations Teresa, and thank you everyone for entering and especially for using the recipes here on Gracious Rain. It makes me soooo happy to know you like them!

Things I Really Love…
this very minute.
~Being close enough to touch one of the most beautiful buildings in the whole wide world…and actually touching it.
Seeing my cute little nephew finally-finally get to marry his sweetheart.
Finding a 12 pack of my very favorite candy bar–that comes clear from England–on Amazon for only $10…with free shipping. Yes, please. Click.
Hearing that Miss Jiff–“the mouse slayer” has earned her keep–this week. Though her brother, the Bean, has been inducted into the kitty-cat hall of shame…shame…shaaame.
Awww–our favorite fellow in the whole world~Jillian’s Uncle Andy…truly one of the very rarest of “good guys” left around.
Wrapping gifts for our “Prize Bags” the way a certain character probably would. More about that in a couple of weeks. Heh, heh, heh.
My cute little dashboard guardian polar bear that sort of glows-in-the-dark, as I drive home late at night–so I’m not afraid.
Just waiting…and waiting…and waiting. Tick-tick-tick.
:} What about you? What do you love this very minute?
