Paddies

Wow, yesterday actually went according to plan! This is a huge thing on a weekend day; we keep intending to do stuff around the house and then not getting it done because we sleep in or the weather doesn't comply or we find other things to do.

Cupán Tae:
Who among us doesn't love their "cupán tae," especially when it’s
a formal afternoon tea, that lovely tradition where a fondness for
tea and a penchant for sweets comes together most agreeably
