Bears and Sweets

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"

Winnie the Pooh

As the skies drizzled, Mom and I had some fun visiting our favourite kitchen store, The Keeping Room, for some cool gadgets being met at the door by an almost unrecognizable friend.

The guardian Bear usually greets customers decked in apron and chef's hat, but today she was trying to stay dry under a plastic granny kerchief and poncho. I've never asked her name, but I think she is one of the visiting chefs. With purchases in hand, we then wandered across the street for lunch. A nice treat.

We continued our fun this afternoon when we made some sweets for an upcoming bridal shower in the family. We have all kinds of sweet ideas, but we'll heed Pooh's advice: “When having a smackerel of something with a friend, don't eat so much that you get stuck in the doorway trying to get out.” :-)
