9th day of December – Christmas baking
Before you give me any credit for the following food I must tell you, NONE of it is mine! I love to cook, but even with my lovely new oven, I am still not a fan of baking. My Mum however, does wonderful cooking AND baking. Frequently when she visits she brings along some yummy…

On 29th December ……….appreciation

poor you!! Hope you are feeling better soon!!
Anyway a beautiful pic – love the bright colour

I think it has to do with the view of the person looking – some see the cup 1/2 empty, some 1/2 full.
Looking forward to your next photo and post!
