Going into this third week of having the Shepkids full time has taught me more about them.
Their daily habits, their tastes, their language, their understanding of each other. It is all coming to light.
I’m also learning more about myself. The Summer of ‘22 will definitely end up being a summer that sticks out in time for me.
I’ve had a few summers in my life where life changed. This year will be one of them.
Today is National Chocolate Eclair Day. In the 1990’s I lived down the street from Oak Park Bakery. Many times I’d get off the Congress el and grab an eclair after work. They make a fine eclair…. And coffee cake …. And chocolate donuts…. And pies…. And cakes…. And cookies!
But it’s the chocolate eclair that made life worth living for during the Clinton Years.
Do you have a favorite bakery? A favorite baked delight?
