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.

I miss long phone conversations. I don't think I do that anymore because of texting. But I miss it.

Pilar said...

I love texting too, but sometimes I rather just have a phone conversation lol

It's shocking how we often overlook the simplest things in life. You compiled a great list here, Pilar!
