My Kitchen Aid Mixer

I've own this Kitchen Aid mixer for almost ten years. I love the fact that it is white and so mid-century modern.
 
Last week, I used the mixer for the first time. It works like a dream.  It swirled my cake mix around beautifully and quietly and it doesn't walk all over the counter.  I've been told that some mixers like to walk.


The cake looks so much better in person and it was yummy! The swirl is from the melted blackberry jam that I added to the batter.  I also added fresh blackberry that I picked in the rain.

Have a great day!

How to be Big, Little at the Same Time

Early Sunday morning, she hopped into my bed and started nuzzling him.

While hugging and smothering him with kisses, she asked in a high pitched voice "Do you want your little, big sister?""
Baby smiled and wriggled.
Big sister asked "Do you want your little, big sister?"
Baby smiled and wriggled some more.
My cutie pie asked the same question over and over again, in the same high pitched voice only a four year old can make and still sounds adorable.    

I am thinking to myself "little, big sister?"  I am confused but watched the interaction with enjoyment.  Then, I understood what she was saying; she meant that she is my little girl and his big sister.

Good Thing It Is Sunny Here.

I can't share what I really wanted to show you, so I am posting this beautiful photo taken at a tulip farm in Skagit Valley.

Meanwhile, I need to go and make a phone call.  I hope to fix this problem by tomorrow.  

Thank you for being so patient.

I Heart Him

This was taken two years ago, when he was 4 yrs old.  Looking at him, I feel peace and calm.  Someday I will let him know that he is my soul.
