the kind i like to hike

a brooklyn mountain

okay, so maybe lucy mae was visualizing italian cookies yesterday. who knew?

i came home from work and found a box from my beloved brooklyn. seriously now. not just from brooklyn, but from an italian bakery in brooklyn. seriously seriously now.

this is the kind of stuff that makes my heart go pitterpat & my tummy go 'come to mama.'

the taste of almond, the toothfeel of a candy sprinkle, and the color of love. all with a birthday card without a clue of the giver. hmmmm.

Damn girl! Somebody loves you!
When is your birthday? I thought I had it written on my calendar but I don't remember seeing it...

Man, I could just dive into that pile of goodness. I hope you enjoy every last crumb and piece of sugar.

Love you, Birthday Girl!

It's your birthday??? Belated Happies, and watch for the mail. Not that I can rival an Italian bakery, although I do live in the city that has more Italians in the world than any city outside of Italy. xoxo

No.
Not the Brooklyn Bakery.
Stop it.

If I help you pack can I have a cookie?

Big Love and a mystery admirer?
Good. Very, very good.

Dear D,
Do tell who the cookies from Brooklyn are from! Someone who knew your love for these obviously - what about the tatoo guy in NY? Love, JFAP

Hey, happy birthday! :) It's going to be a wonderful year for you, especially since you seem to grow and get better/wiser/more resilient/happier/more creative all the time. :)
