Aqua Keurig

This machine belongs to my roommate who will be moving out in a few weeks.  I LOVE this color even though it doesn't match anything in the kitchen.  

I'll have to get my own machine when she moves out.  The other appliances are black & silver, so I guess I'll get a Keurig that matches them.

My heart is grateful for: 

choices~~for whatever...

Nana Mug

When I first moved to be near my daughter and her new family, she gave me this mug.  I love it~~the shape, the color and the sentiment.  For some reason  decided to use it for a pen holder, but the other day I was looking at it and realized it would serve me better as my coffee mug.

So I cleaned it up and now it's my new go-to mug and I'm loving it.

My heart is grateful for:

joy in the little things of life

Coffee Break

12/365

I decided to bake some cookies this morning for two reasons: 1) I haven't done much baking lately and 2) I needed a subject for some still-life photos.  The other day I found a recipe for Shrewsbury Biscuits (English cookies) and they looked so yummy.

They're similar to shortbread cookies, but they don't have as much butter.  

So, so, so good.

After baking them and taking the photos I treated myself to a couple as a reward for my efforts. Don't let the second image fool you, I really only ate two...

I'm discovering that the tricky part of photographing food is trying not to eat it before taking the photos, especially when hungry.  So I guess I have to use the same strategy as when I go grocery shopping.  Eat first, then shop, or shoot.

Everything is a learning process.  So fun!~!
