LOVE is all we need!

Today is my final post for...

Our Beautiful World

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all my team mate, past and present, thanks for your beautiful work every week for the past three and a half years.

Since Valentine's day is coming and we really really need LOVE in this beautiful world we live in right now, the prompt is....

LOVE

I picked one of the old photo from my folders, my Valentine's day decoration at home.

as much as I love taking photographs and share them at OBW, I find it hard to cope with too many things in life lately, as a result, something has to go, so farewell OBW, I hope you could stop by and join in the final week of fun.

Our Beautiful World !83 ~ Yummy

I love cooking and baking, so my photo folder has tons of YUMMY photos....

like these short bread cookies Dolce and I tried during the holidays.....

extra YUMMY if you top them with royal icing.

speaking of cookies with royal icing, the last trip I went to London, we visited Biscuiteers at Notthing Hill....

I just had to buy this even though it is overly expensive, it is YUMMY though

these bagels are my first try in January... they are YUMMY too! We had them with smocked salmon, super YUMMY!

These are Bakkwa, also known as Rougan, is a salty-sweet dried pork, they are considered delicacy when I was growing up, people have them only in Chinese New Year, the price could go up to $60 a kilogram during Chinese New Year in Singapore, but these days, people have them all year round, however, they still are very expensive during Chinese New Year. Since we are not allowed to bring in any pork product when we entered United States, so I never bring these home when I travel back to Singapore, the only place I can get is an online store in CA, but they are rather expensive too, so I made my own during Chinese New Year this year, they really taste YUMMY!

 

if you go to Starbucks with your puppy, don't forget to ask for a Puppicino, bet your dog loves it. "YUMMY!!!!" said Papi

Our Beautiful World 182 ~ Beautiful

This is Miss Lila.....

Miss Lila has a BEAUTIFUL story....

 

Few years ago, she was made to breed puppies, and then abandon on the street.....

and then they met....

 Clare volunteer at the shelter and became the foster parent of Lila, at that point, Lila was to put away unless someone adopted her because she was rather aggressive and had medical condition......

after taking care of Lila for a month, Clare fall in love and decided to adopt her, so now Lila has become a princess....

last month, we celebrated Lila's adoption day, we do not know how old is she, but the guess is about 3-4 years old, we had a little doggie party, I made the princess tiara and the party hats....

bake the cake for Miss Lila....

and the pack had lots of fun

today, Miss Lila had overcome a lot of obstacle, with lots of love and care from Clare and Jared, Miss Lila has learn to trust people, she no longer bark aggressively at men and even willingly let the men in our house pat her. She learn how to play with other dog, especially Coconut (Alfie - that's what Dolce likes to call him)

do you have a BEAUTIFUL story to tell?

Our Beautiful World 180 ~ Bicycle

I took this picture of the BICYCLE when I was in Florence.....

it was right outside the store called Eataly, where they sell yummy pasta and other stuff....

speaking of BICYCLE, how could one not think about Amsterdam....

they are everywhere...... one for the individual....

one for grocery shopping....

one for the family.....

one for the big cheese....

they even have one for the party goers......

where they could drink and party on it....

I love the pretty one park on the quiet bridge by the pretty canal

at home....

we bought two for the girls when we first moved to Las Vegas nearly 7 years ago....

 

two months ago, when I was cleaning the garage preparing for DH's new toy car, was ready to get rid of them and the handyman who was working on our backyard deck bought it from us...

Alright, so much of my BICYCLE post, come join us at.....

Our Beautiful World 179 ~ Light

One of the thing on my new year list is to spend less time blogging, in order to do that, I need to make a little changes.....

First thing, we decided to close Our Beautiful World down after February, so we just have a couple more posts to do at OBW.

This week, the word is LIGHT.

I picked this photo I took with the LIGHT that cast the long shadows of Randy and I at Oceano.

and I sure love the LIGHT during sun set....

I am not an early bird, so we never catch any sun rise, but I do have tons of these.... LIGHT at sun set.

please come join us at .....
