Do Overs - Day 1

I know that I've been ignoring this blog, but I have been trying to "give" a little something at least on most days. I've just been really horrible at the journaling part. I'm going to make a commitment again to start at Day 1 and go for 29 days.

Last week I won a cupcake from Beth at Rhubarb & Venison. It came from Patisserie on Fourth, a really great bakery in Bismarck. I was so excited to win something, that I decided to "pay it forward". I purchased certificates for two desserts and two cupcakes that I could also give away. I've had the certificates for a week, and finally remembered today to give them away. I found two ladies in the parking lot at Kirkwood Mall that had never been to Patisserie on Fourth. I hope that they enjoy their freebies. I still have two more to give away next week. It made me feel happy to give those away.

Day 12

We are in Florida, staying with friends. Mary is an avid bird lover. She told me that she really wanted a different bird book, as the one that she currently owns doesn't give all of the information that she is after. I purchased a field guide for her gift today.
