Things I ♥

I'm loving my karate champions

I'm loving a sweet little gift from my auntie

She's an "Elisa", purchased in Spain



I'm loving the smell of focaccia breads baked for a friend's Italian-flavored birthday party

clockwise: rosemary & onion, garlic & cheddar, sourdough & parmesan



I'm loving a game of "bump-out" after the party

I'm loving the fragrance of my beautiful roses as I walk through my "secret garden"


I'm loving a bride-to-be exclaiming over the gifts I brought to the shower

microwave oven mitts!

I'm especially loving my black belt!

I so ♥ it when 6'7" sensei works with his little white belt students...
