Winning!

I'm a winner! I won a cake from my blogging friend Lynnda from New Orleans. The fun thing was that I wasn't even trying to win anything. Anticipating the arrival of this cake was as much fun as tasting it. The special box arrived in the mail today.



Here it is! It is called a "King's Cake" and is apparently an essential part of Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

What a treat for the senses when I opened the box. Not only was there this amazingly colourful cake, but also a Mardi Gras magazine, some special coffee and a package of colourful beads and fake coins which I assume are also part of the Mardi Gras tradition.

Here I am getting ready to take my first bite. It was delicious!

And these beads were too pretty to toss aside. I am sure my granddaughters will love playing with them.

And so that was the best part of my day. Something free, tasty, and pretty arrived in the mail. I got to anticipate it, taste it and there is still lots left over to look forward to in the days ahead.

Blogging has all sorts of perks and this is one of them. Somebody had to win, I am glad it was me!

May Dipsy Doodling Around Depression be better than a therapy session!

Don't give up, I'm praying for you!
