Hope you get lot of treat and no bad trick ... Happy Halloween!!!
According to the Hallmark pocket calendar, Saturday, October 18th is Sweetest Day. So I thought this cake in front of a business named Sweetology on Clayton Road in Ladue, would be appropriate for today.
Here are a few expressions about sweet: Short and sweet (all politicians should remember this when giving speeches); sweet nothings (not sure what this means); if you are sweet on someone you must know how to sweet-talk him/her; you have to take the bitter with the sweet (who says life is fair); parting is such sweet sorrow (but tomorrow is another day) and finally, do you have a sweet tooth?
Well, you got to move on ... one hockey stick at a time! You probably already knew that the St. Louis Cardinals did not make it to the World Series - it is now Kansas City Royals v. San Francisco Giants. I offered to "go to bat" for the Cardinals but they turned me down. They told me that I was not "fit" to be on their team - too short, too old and too chubby! This is blatant discrimination - age, race and disability - just kidding!
It is sunny and comfortable today. My husband went golfing this morning, one more round, before the snow covers the ground. After golf, Ralphie usually cooks breakfast. We start the weekend with a nice and relaxing morning. This week, I decided to take care of most of the errands after work, even though I was tired but it pays off not having to run around with a long list of chores on the weekend.
This cake is on display in front of City Hall in downtown St. Louis.
Thank you Busboy for your kind and thoughtful comment. Perhaps we could have a friendly wager for the I-70 Series - are you interested? Well, I should not speak too soon lest the Cardinals might blame for me for jinxing them.
All is well here in my corner in STL. The rain finally stops today but the sun is still hiding behind all the cloud. It is getting cold in the low 60's.
With so many urgent matters facing the world around us, it is selfish yet comforting to know that we could still enjoy a few moments of happiness at a sporting event. However you cope with events in your life, I hope you find the strength and support to overcome and rise above the difficulties.
