glad you are fully embracing the rolling pin. Your gratitude list is always so 'real' and humble. Thanks for reminding me to acknowledge the often overlooked blessings that come our way, every day.
ReplyDeleteThe cinnamon buns look great. That's an inspiring reason to use your rolling pin. ;)
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to be greatful for even when things don't quite go as you expect. Love you lots. Sending big hugs from us and some slobbery kisses from Samuel.
