Missing Something

It's only been four days since Megan has been in Germany, and boy have I noticed! I like having my "me" time but I think four days is about all I need.  The apartment is so different knowing I'll be enjoying it on my own.  There's just something about knowing someone else is there.  The only plus is I'm doing a lot of homework. In the meantime, I'll be following her travels here 

Apple Banana Spice

Well, it's Sunday and aside from the fact that I saved today for homework it is still my favorite day of the week.  Sunday baking has much to do with this fact and today I decided to take on this apple banana spice bundt cake I saw on Pinterest.  Speaking of Pinterest, thank goodness it was created or Sunday baking may not exist.  I'm pretty proud of the cake, but I'm not sure what I think about the Vanilla Caramel Glaze.  Too sugary for me. The added banana into the cake was a magical idea however.  Happy Sunday!

life on instagram

Yes I am aware that most of my instagram photos are related to Fall.  I guess there's no denying my love for this season!

Pumpkin Patch

With Fall comes the mandatory trip to the pumpkin patch; and so I took Gloria out to collect pumpkins for the apartment before the weather turned back to the expected rain showers we receive in the northwest.  I seemed more interested in taking the pumpkins home, while Gloria just wanted to take pictures of them and everything else she saw.  I think I've discovered a young photographer.  She obviously isn't a pro yet considering the pictures of me would come out with body parts chopped off.  I just blame the weight of the camera compared to her strength. I think I found a handful of acceptable pumpkins, and I don't think this was my last trip this year.  I really love the pumpkin patch.

as luck would have it

This afternoon I was reminded of the four leaf clover I had found last year, and I thought "where is all the luck I'm supposed to be having?" I went to where I had put it and was amazed to see the date. Seriously? Exactly a year later when I haven't checked up on it this entire year. Could it be coincidence or a sign of good luck to come?  Hopefully it's the latter of the two.
