Gentle Readers and Dear Friends I do thank you so much for all the kind words about my little stitching wall. I really enjoy seeing the completed pieces out on the wall and not wrapped up in the completed box. It was still very windy yesterday and still on the cool side. I have been keeping track of the weather in Florida and it is in the upper 80's there - so going from the mid to upper 50's here to that heat will be an adjustment... to say the least. I can feel the sweat already starting to pop out!! Elisa mentioned in her comment about yesterdays post about needing a "cherry stone spittoon" now imagine me just popping the fresh cherries into my mouth one after another next to the kitchen trash can - so that I can just spit the stones out. - pop and spit - its a real picture. Not very glamorous, but it works and those cherries are so very good!!

I wanted to mention a little cake I baked up this weekend - simple and tasty - I posted the information on Blacksheep Bakes so you can click HERE to see that.
It is called Pecan Streusel Coffee Cake....
The recipe makes a single cake - and works up really fast....
It went really well with a cup of coffee yesterday - and with all my weekend treats this was enjoyed by Rico's work buddies.
Yes, Melody ... I would love to have the Spritz cookie recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Not much else going on - I did some laundry last night and have packed up a small baglette to take. I am getting picked up tonight at around 8 Pm for my Red Eye to Florida - so this time tomorrow I'll be enjoy all that heat and sunshine.
There you go sports fans - I'll be back in a couple of weeks!!
Take care,
edgar
