Funny cupcakes

These cupcakes look very appropriate for a certain person... the one who always puts her foot in her mouth!

Giving

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was really nice. It made me think of this modest blog....



Today my mom would have been 92. She was the most giving person I've ever known...

Opportunist

I mentioned an American we met in Lisbon in my post about the snails. I said he was very different from progressive Ann and Larry.

This guy was surrounded by twelve to fifteen women of many nationalities, all very excited to be near him. They were in Lisbon for an evangelical convention and had various inspirational badges: "God's word is the truth," "Together in the Holy Spirit," and others.

A number of women handed me their cameras and asked to be photographed with their American heartthrob. I obliged, then asked him if I could take his photo. He was delighted.


Dora and I guessed that he was offering the women something extra, perhaps visiting them in the guise of the Holy Ghost for a double-dose of spiritual togetherness...
