Simple Joys

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize 
they were the big things." - Robert Brault

I'm grateful for this week's roundup of simple pleasures.


# 1  Finally nailed baking that carrot cake for my Mother- in-law's birthday. 
There was no Kraft cream cheese available in France.  I used Mascarpone, 
a thick creamy soft Italian cheese used in Tiramisu instead.



# 2  A friendly dog who loves to be cuddled welcomes us during our walk.





# 4  Dinner Al Fresco with the family.


# 5 Playing with my niece and nephew.


# 6  Watching the summer night sky during dinner at the terrace.


 # 7 Picnic (dinner) in the greens after a walk on the beach

What are your simple joys this week ? Hope you all had a great one.  
XOXO,
Arni

    Oh yes, red velvet cake. I'd like to try that for the next project. :)

    I would take mascarpone over cream cheese any day. Yum.

    Thanks Sherry and Tina.
    I should have discovered mascarpone a lot earlier.
