  4. Pilar, your list of 'simple things in life' is wonderful. I like many of these as well. And in fact, it's raining right now as I'm looking out the window. :) Those cinnamon rolls look delicious, and homemade icing, YUMMY! It's nice to hear that you still send cards in the mail. I love sending and receiving cards too. I can smell your candle from here.

    Lovely post, Pilar.
