The Way to a Girl's Heart

I was minding my business,
photographing some Chinese lanterns I'd just bought,
when I realized that I wasn't alone in the kitchen.

The baker man had arrived 
to make some amazing, magical bread.
The key to staying together nineteen years: marry a man who can bake.
(Oh, and it doesn't hurt if he's cute!)

    Yes, he's a keeper.
    I am the baker in the family, but my husband makes me breakfast each morning, which is just divine. I wake up to..."coffee's ready" every day. And, as I am not a morning person exactly, it is sooo appreciated.

    Aw...sweet. Mine doesn't bake, or cook much at all unless there is a grill involved. He does however keep a small vase on my kitchen counter filled with tiny blossoms to surprise me. That works too!

    i started, like a good girl, admiring your brilliant lanterns and the shadows ... and of course took a close up look ~ wow aren't they georgous?? and went to the next two ~ equally admiring the lighting and colour ... and then there he was ~ your beautiful baker man baking you bread! ahhh ... it doesn't surprise me one little bit that you would have such an adorable man for your husband as you are so adorable ... and you both exude this lovely calm and poetic charm ...
    sigh.
