“Hi. I remember those cheeks. Be happy with natural curls and stand up for yourself. Relish every moment with Dad. Some people are cruel and dishonest for sport — but there are lots who are fighting a good fight and running a fair race. That is what deserves the attention and energy.” — Julia Roberts…

Sunday…
…at the Botanical Garden Orchid Show. So much to love. It’s so hard to do these justice.
I Burned Breakfast. And it was Awesome.
There’s something about snow and ice that makes me want to hunker down at home with a warm blanket or head to the kitchen and bake. (Admittedly the couch usually prevails.) When it’s best not to travel treacherous roads, the world comes to a standstill and we just get to relax and take a time…
