Yes, it's the first day of Fall. We always said Fall but I love saying Autumn. Sounds more lyrical, I guess.
However you say it just enjoy each golden day. Too soon the cold winds of Winter will be whistling down our chimneys. You know what I mean... I don't even have a chimney! haha
I made a lemon cake the other day. It's been years since I made a cake! And, this one was done in my toaster oven.
Lemon.... that sounds more summery but I saw the recipe and made it for Michael's birthday recently. It was good.
But, I am trying hard to get sugar outta my life. Lordy, that's hard. Not only sugar but fried foods and a bunch of other stuff that's not good for you.
Are you on a search for healthier eating?
Got any fav recipes you'd like to share?
On to a sadder subject
I had never really paid attention to the name Charlie Kirk until he was killed. Guess I live under a rock, cause there were a ton of people who knew and loved him.
However, his passing affected me deeply. I spent all yesterday afternoon watching his memorial on tv. And, I cried for Erica and those little kids.
I think the reason why it hurt so much was that Charlie was the same age as my Dad when he got killed (by lightening).
My Dad left a wife he loved beyond anything, a daughter age 8 and me (I was still in my Mother's womb)
I know what those little kids will go through... not having a Dad.
The older I get, the more I miss mine.
I just pray that all the violence against those who think differently than you will stop.
Oh my, your cake looks so pretty and delicious! In between my sweets, I try to eat healthy following Bobby Parrish and the Bobby App. You can scan any food bar codes and get the info. Yes sugar is the culprit for heart disease and many others things. Maple syrup and honey are the alternatives I try to use. Also organic foods to not have pesticides and no bad oils like corn and canola and olive oil from multi-sources,etc.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Charlie KIrk either but then I watched many of his YouTubes and I was so impressed. He's a saint I'm sure. andrea
p.s...at your age, you are doing great. I think basically it's all genetics. Eat whatever you want, you are amazing. andrea
DeleteI'm trying to eat healthier too, less processed foods. It's not easy.
ReplyDeleteWe did follow Charlie Kirk, and really appreciated him. The memorial was very good. I can see why it would really hit you, losing your Dad at that same age.
