Planning, plotting and life

Plans; the lists of things we think may happen in our future if we just follow the right path. We know where we are headed when we have plans. My favourite quote about plans... Life is what happens when we are busy making plans.

Plot; the story line, the concept of where everything will lead. Something I read on FB this morning amused me, "my life has a superb cast but i can't figure out the plot......."

Life is whatever you make it.

Enjoy!

What's new?

It has been a while and a life changing year. After an incredibly busy season during the winter holidays, we realized it was time to make a major change, and we closed the bakery, opening up so many other possibilities.

Life has changed immeasurably since and I am spending my days continuing to do the things I love. I am writing more recipes and spending more time with my family.

I am enjoying this stage of my life, now a grandmother and assistant to my parents. This is exactly where I want to be in my life and I feel very lucky to be able to be here.

My Uncle, my mom's youngest brother died yesterday and his daughter has 2 small children. I feel blessed that my children have grown up knowing their grandparents and even my granddaughter has met my parents. Four generations knowing each other and loving each other.

I am able to spend time with my parents now that the bakery is closed and I am able to spend time with my granddaughter too even if mostly through skype.

It was a great twelve years baking for so many people and I forged many friendships through the bakery. I am grateful for it and glad to move onto the next part of my life.

Life is good!
