Small pleasures

One of the small pleasures in life is having mydaughter coming home from a half day of school all excited because she can have lunch with me. We had a great time at a Chinesse diner before going to a couple stores. I picked up necessities while she window shopped toys and campaigned for new pets.

Edward's Donut

New old barn in orchards surrounded by golden corn,fall leaves, and deep blue skies.
Pumpkins and mums distract but they are not the feature.
Crystaline sugar makes for sticky fingers.
Crunchy crust, cake almost falls apart but never does.
Matronly clerk always cautions,almost scolds, "leave the bag open,they'd hot"
At home I explain that the laws of supply and demand along with a bad economy make a baker's dozen mean ten.
