I Had A Plan

This is what the 4th of July looked like at my house.

After hurricane Harvey last year,

I think it's safe to say the whole city has/had PTSD.

The last I heard, no homes were flooded,

just a lot of high blood pressure!

It has continued to rain off and on.
Today the sun is shining and I had a plan.

After feeding the kitties and the fish, 
getting my morning walk done,
and all the morning ablutions (love that word).

I walked over to Eclair Paris to have breakfast.
I had Eggs Benedict as usual.
I took my Mindful Magazine with me to read
and laughed out loud several times while reading an article on meditation.
(Been there and done that!) 

I came home with two sinfully delicious desserts.

I saved them both.

Until...

I decided to try this one.
This is the owners new favorite.
Orange with a surprise!
I ate the top -- could taste the orange...
then the cream layer ... more orange
and got to...

Surprise!

I reached the strawberry custard layer.

Wow! 

I can see and taste why it is her new favorite.









But, I guess I'm old fashioned.
I still like the lemon tart the best.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Independence Day

The Fourth of July

 – also known as Independence Day or July 4th – 

has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, 

but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to 
the 18th century and the American Revolution. 

On July 2nd, 1776, 

the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, 

and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted 
the Declaration of Independence, 

a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. 

From 1776 to the present day, 

July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, 

with festivities ranging from fireworks, 

parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.

Wishing YOU well and much joy on this Independence Day.
