A Sweet Proposal

I just got back from dropping my mother off at the airport.  I’m a bit down and I miss her already but I’ve learned over the years that if I let myself wallow I can sometimes not drag myself back out, so I try to keep myself occupied until it passes.   When I got home I checked my RSS feed and saw the sweetest thing,  it managed to make me smile even though I’m feeling so sad.

On Bakerella.com, one of my favorite (not to mention sinfully tempting) baking websites, a man contacted the blogger and asked for her help in proposing to his girlfriend.   The blog entry starts like any other, with the recipe and instructions on how to make these darling wedding cake pops, but at the bottom it has the photo with the proposal.  I gasped, I smiled, I cried and exclaimed loudly “HOW ROMANTIC!!!”.  Yeah, I’m a little emotional at the moment, but better to cry over someone else’s happy day than my sad one.

I don’t know who Melissa is, but I read in the comments that she said YES! 

Honestly, how could she not?!

    Hi,
    I found your blog by accident and I have spent all weekend looking and reading. I am an American who fell in love with a Dutchie (we met online). I have been here for a year now. I am finding it so difficult to learn the language. Any suggestions? Oh and what kind of camera do you have? Your fotos are magnificent.
