Oh Yum- My Sweet 100!

Recently I posted my "The Omnivore's Hundred", which listed 100 foods which "every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life." Well CAKESPY just posted their Sweet 100! I was so excited to find it and I couldn't wait to see how many I have actually tried. So I'm posting mine here.

How about you? How many have you tried?

The ones I have tried are in RED!

1) Copy this list into your site, including the instructions!

2) Bold all of the sweets you've eaten--or make them a different type color.

3) Cross out any of them that you'd never ever eat.
4) Consider anything that is not bold or crossed out your "To Do" List.

5) Optional: Post a comment here linking to your results--or just post a comment letting us know how many you've tried, or what you're going to try next!

I'm Sharing some Love on Tuesday- I couldn't wait until Thursday!

Thank you Rowena from Rubber Slippers in Italy for sharing this wonderful little Love Video. Sure made me cry this morning , but they were happy tears. This is beautiful and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

What a Beautiful Day...

What a beautiful day today turned out to be. The air was crisp and fresh...

I had to go out early this morning to take my husbands car to be inspected- while I was there I noticed 2 beautiful miniature donkey in the field behind the barn. So of course I had to go visit them- they were the most friendly donkey I ever met.

They were so happy to see me.

We chatted for a while and they posed for a few pictures. What a fun morning I had!
