Wow! Well, praise God that you were obedient to walk that day…what a frustration after all that to return to your car in such a state. Thanks for sharing your story…very encouraging. Hope you have a lovely Mother’s and Mimi’s Day!
Oops! I left the anonymous comment!
Hey there. That’s quite a story – but how great for both of you that you had that chance to be there to help save him. You’re right of course, it was no accident you were there!
That figgy fig cake looks great – I love figs and can’t wait for the recipe. But take your time – I think you deserve a break! L
ohhhhh~ that looks like an amazing cake! I want a slice of that!
I think even non-fig eaters like me, will adore this cake – lovely and moist…
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! I love you so much.
I’m sorry you’ve had such a tough week. This Figgy Fig Cake looks good enough to forget all your troubles. I don’t think it was by accident that you saw the man either. I am so proud of you!
And I thought I was having a bad week! Nothing compared to yours. Kim, you did not focus on the morbid: you focused on life thinking about this young girl last year and what, in life, could have changed her mind. Same thing with this young man: you kept him focused on life. The irony of life and death is that this year God threw you a challenge and you took it and made peace within your soul a little. And the car thieves? They are just taking advantage of this life, but I do believe that Karma will come back to bite them in the bootie.
That fig cake looks absolutely delicious…that and a cup of tea and that is enough to soothe any soul!
I hope you had a great mother’s day. You deserve it!
wow. god works in mysterious ways, doesn’t he! nothing so intense has ever happened to me, but if it does, i hope i handle it as well as you! as my mom always says to me: “keep on keepin’ on.”
oh, and of course, your fig cake is stellar. mint sugar? yes, please!
Kim that looks wonderful. I can’t wait to try this.
Please pop by my blog, I have an award for you
Kim, wow!
I have read enough of your text that I can clearly hear that you are rattled. You are not hiding it at all and I am so sorry!
I hate figs. Let’s just get that out of the way, but your experience…You should feel good, proud even, that you were the one who helped that young man. Are you kiddin’ me?
What an experience, and to be thanked with a breakin? I feel for you, truly. Please take it easy, okay?
What a day!
Hello to Lindsay!
Mint sugar – cook idea. Hope life has improved!
I meant ‘cool’ idea – not ‘cook’. Blergh!
