The
simplest things can bring pleasure. One of my favorite breakfasts is a slice of good bread, toasted, with butter and apricot jam. Accompanied by espresso. In Paris, a croissant and
cappuccino are substituted. There was a little cafe around the corner from my favorite Paris hotel,
Hotel Aubusson I don't recall the name of this tiny cafe, but every morning I was there with my usual request. For me, saying water (
eau) and butter (
beurre) in French are impossible, and of course I required both! This is how I started out my day of simple pleasures.
Next is riding my Buffy. He is recovering from acute lameness brought on by riding him over rocky
terrain, so today we walked on the shoulder of our road to inspect a tract of land that has just been cleared. Cleared for what, I don't know: sell the timber? prepare for building a home? Then I baked a batch of Toasted Walnut Oatmeal Cookies from Martha's Halloween magazine. This is my second batch in a week. Today's cookies are for Bob to take to his sister's tonight to celebrate the start of
UW Husky football. Go
Dawgs! This afternoon I am going to craft cards for my friend Josef, using the "Dreamer or Swinger" theme. And modifying them to a man's point of view. Later, while Bob goes off to see the football game, I will watch "Obsessed", with Beyonce. A little left-over Thai curry from last night, a little wine, me and Gandi and TV. A simply perfect day.
