I love to participate in Susanne's Friday's Fave Five because I think it is good to look back on our week and reflect on the highlights.1. Here is a picture of some of our Easter goodies. I decorated a chocolate cake to look like a sunflower. It's called a Sunflower Peep Cake, and I got the idea from Katie's Nesting Spot. You can find directions here. Of course, what is Easter without dyed eggs? I arranged them in my favorite crystal basket, as I do every year.
2. I finished a book by a favorite author, Colleen Coble, entitled "Cry in the Night." I really enjoyed it. I love mysteries!
3. On Monday, I called to make an appointment to get my hair cut, and she worked me in that minute. You gotta love that! I didn't think to take a picture, but it definitely makes me feel better to have a new style.
4. My new cell phone has a full keyboard for texting so I can ask my daughters any time all important questions such as: "where r u?" do u work tonite?" "whats ur plans." You know, mom stuff.
5. This week has been cold and rainy. But today, the sun has broke through and it's predicted to be 72°! To console myself during these dreary days, I look at landscape pictures of better days. Here is one that has a couple favorites: a weeping willow tree and a pond:
Don't you wish you could take a walk on that bridge?

That cake and the eggs look great. I bet they were delicious too. I'm thinking I need a haircut too.
ReplyDeleteYou've posted a very pretty picture.
Ok that cake is the bomb! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteOh I just haven't been able to delve into the land of texting :0)
hats off to you for being able to do it!!
Have a wonderful weekend...
I've had to learn texting too. It let's my daughter who's away at school communicate daily whenever we want to.
ReplyDeleteThe cake and eggs look great.
What a great week. Now you have to start learning a whole new language "texting on cells" LOL. Pictures are great and the picture of the Willow is awesome. Nice cage by the way. Sounds like you had a great week :)
ReplyDeleteI am so keeping the recipe of this cake for next year. I love peeps! :)
ReplyDeleteI too, enjoy Colleen Coble's books and delighted in her last book.
I just found out that one of the women from our women's Bible study group is a hairstylist and she's giving me a cut next week.
I love your decorations. Last year I made more efforts and this year I made a huge loaf of Paska, posted a few days back.
ReplyDeleteThis new cell freaks me out.
I'm getting something called a blackberry....I just wanted a simple cell like my old one.
Oh well....progressive learning.
LOVE that fabulous peep cake! It looks adorable & delicious! YUM!
ReplyDeleteAnd, the bridge is beautiful!
The Easter treats are beautiful, but my favorite fave of yours is your new haircut and flexible stylist. I can so relate! I'm notorious for calling at the 11th hour and pleading for a work-in.
ReplyDeleteI hope the nice weather holds out for you!
Great list! Your Easter treats look lovely. I also enjoy Colleen Coble, although I have not read many of her books - I've kind of just discovered her.
ReplyDeleteMy new cellphone also has a full keyboard - so much nicer for texting....you can say so much more. Text is the main communication between us and our son who is away at school right now.
Have a great week, Jerri!
Love the warmer weather!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Love the cake!! We saw weeping willows at a park this weekend--I love those!! I remember playing under them as a kid, they're sort of "magical!" Great list--thanks for stopping by!
