Over flowing. You know that cup…the one that is sometimes half empty or sometimes half full depending on the glasses you are wearing that day…well my cup is over flowing. Out of it flows friendship, kindness, giving, and love. All these things come from someone whom I have never met and probably never will, yet it makes no difference in the small scheme of things. The cup we drink from is the same. Gayle at Garden of Daisies filled my cup today. She filled it with all these beautiful gifts of friendship in her give-away. Out of 398 chances in the pot my one little entry got picked…imagine that!

| Each gift was wrapped with a pretty ribbon |
As Gayle says "Friendship is a flower that blooms in the heart" and this was shown in these beautiful gifts. There are embroidered pillow cases that are too pretty to use, and gorgeous fat quarters; An awesome calendar with the painted art work of Jane Shasky, a friendship ornament and a crocheted dishcloth! Thank you Gayle! Please go over and visit with her and say hi!

I so wish you all could come over for a taste of this glazed apple cake that I baked the other day. It is from Trisha Yearwood’s latest cookbook.
Apples, cinnamon, sugar, and walnuts filled my kitchen
with that familiar autumn smell we all love.
Come have a taste with me!
"May happiness find you right where you want to be"
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend filled with friendship and love.
~My loves for today~
Friendships old and new
Bonding without boundaries
More prayers for needed rain
Glasses where you see what I see
A full cup
The best thing about me is you.
