Voila!!!

VOILA!

( Yes, my Davis is wearing an Alabama jersey. I can't talk about it.)

What is more fun than making your very own gingerbread house??? There's all that wonderful sticky icing to be licked off your fingers,  and a plethora of candy to be stuck anywhere you want to put it.  When Mom's not watching,  you can try and cram as much of that candy in your mouth as possible.  Today, two candy crammers hard at work!  Joyeux Noël!

Today is Mid Month Theme:  Subway Day for some of my blogger friends.  Since Birmingham has no rapid transit system, I asked if I could join this prestigious group should I  get a good Metro photo in Paris!  My friend Peter accepted my offer and slyly passed his "spot" off to me this month.  My photo can be seen on his great blog, Peter's Paris.  Thank you Peter,  for letting mine sit amongst your wonderful Paris photos!!! 

 You can also see a few more of my Metro photos as well as a link to the other Subway Day participants on my new blog

PARIS THROUGH MY LENS.

Henry took candy placement very seriously!

Let Us All Eat Cake!

 My daughter Kathleen and I almost share a birthday.  Hers was yesterday and mine is tomorrow, so I thought we might celebrate in the middle today!  I stopped by Angels Cakes and Confections in Crestline Village and photographed these gorgeous cakes. Well,  I know they are wedding cakes, but let's pretend.  Not only did they rearrange the shop for my photo "shoot", but I got a delicious cup of coffee as well. I am including  a portion of the gelato selection so you can have some with your cake.   Happy Birthday Kat!  Oh,  and the number of candles on our cakes?  Well, my lips are sealed, what about yours,  Kat?

And my present you ask?? Well I am giving myself a grand one this year. I won't be able to open it till around 9:30 a.m. on November 17th in Paris!

The specialty of the house is a delicious caramel cake.  It's a southern favorite.  I might need one of those when I return from Paris to lift my spirits!

PARIS COUNTDOWN ...19 DAYS!!!

The Tune du Jour is one of my very favorites, " The One I Waited For" by my dear friend Michael Dulin.  Who else would I ask to play at our party???

A special THANK YOU to Petrea and Dusty Lens for your most appreciated BFF Awards.  I so enjoy your friendship and your wonderful photographs and posts each and every day.
