Here's to 6 wonderful months!

Happy Anniversary! I can't begin to tell you how special you are to me. The past 6 months have been some of the happiest of my life. I love every minute we spend together. When I’m not with you I smile just thinking about you. It seems like I spend my days counting down until I next time I get to see you. Who knew Tuesday's could be so much fun?!?!

We shared many wonderful LATE nights together over MSN but I think our third date at Joe Badali’s was the night I knew that I was well on my way to falling in love with you! I will never forget the first night we met, the first hot chocolate we shared, the first time you told me you loved me or the first time you made me watch Star Trek!! We’ve already shared so many wonderful memories and laughs together...Sunday brunch, chattering teeth, Lake Placid, cooking disasters & successes, tickle wars, and pastries - we can't forget the pastries!! I can only imagine all the happy times we’ll share in our lives together. Just think, France is only a few months away!

You make me soooo happy. All I ever wanted was someone to share my dreams with and now I get to do that everyday with you. You are an amazing person Christian. I love you so much! Thank you for being you. Thank you for sending me that first smile! I’m soooo glad I smiled back!

Love, Your Little Twerp xoxoxo

Anna's Bakery...

Ok, so we didn't really end up in St. Catherines by chance. We were looking for someone in particular...



We found Anna's bakery nestled in between an ice cream store and gift shop. When we walked in, the final touches were being put on a beautiful wedding cake which, I have no doubt, some lucky young couple out there will remember fondly for the rest of their lives. We were unconsciously drawn to a glass case filled with sinfully sugary little treats. It all tempted: cakes, tarts, cookies and squares - but what to choose?! We ended up leaving with a lemon cookie, a raspberry square, and a lemon square.



The cookie was to die for, light and very lemony. The squares were just as satisfying but much heavier. :-)





mmmMMMmmm...

Amazingly nothing went over the top with the sugar either! So important. We'll be heading back for more in the very near future I'm sure... :-p

Saturday in St. Catherines...

We rolled into the cute little town of St. Catherines just outside Niagara Falls yesterday afternoon. Hiding from a blisteringly hot sun under the wide canopy of a gnarled oak enjoying pastries from Anna Olson's bakery took up most of our time I freely admit. (That would be *the* Anna Olson from the food network!!) Very nice.

Any idea what this industrious fisherman was planning to do with all those rods?! I've never seen anything like it.
