Last night in class we had some new flavors… courtesy of some Chinese OREOs!!! Tasty… not as sweet as I’d like… and I’m still a little leery of a flavor just called “cheese”?!!! Thanks for sharing Katie!

You gotta love when you go to start teaching class… and you find a surprise gift on your Teacher Shelf! A crazy cool flavor combination from a foreign land! I have the best students… thanks so much Monse!

Hope you’re having a great day with family or friends… or just outside enjoying the Spring weather!!! We did a family get-together and my niece Taylor made these yummy “birds nests” with marshmallows, peanut butter & Cadbury chocolate eggs!!! Perfect on a spring green platter!!!

Last night was the start of a new session with my Beginner Wheel students at Lillstreet.
Great fun… and a “sweet” start with new OREO flavors imported from New Zealand.
Thanks Kaitlin!!!

Plus… I also had my first TimTam!!! Which apparently is “a thing” Down Under?
But these were extra yummy… as they were the special caramel version!!!

Spring is in the air… which also means DREAM HUT is open again!
And we celebrated with yummy ice cream & a beautiful sunset!

Although it does look like their sign could use a little help?!

Well, it’s NATIONAL PIe DAY… originally for the math-nerds what with the 3.141592 and all?! I’m awfully glad it has been expanded to PIE… with an E!!! I’m a tried & true Cherry pie fan!!! But when a little Triple Berry shows up in the mix… how is one to choose??? And why should I?… after all, today is a National Holiday!!!
