December 9

I was sitting in my usual spot at Starbucks this morning when one of my favorite baristas --Dez-- came up to me holding a plate. On that plate was this piece of lemon loaf cake.

She handed it to me and explained that she'd opened it but no one was going to buy it, so she thought she'd give it to me as a little treat. I really like lemon loaf cake (and I really, really like the icing on the cake!), so I was tickled pink (or maybe yellow would be the more appropriate color choice here).

I'd been feeling a bit sluggish following a night of really poor sleep, so her kind gesture was a big blessing.
