"It is the sweet, simple things of life
which are the real ones after all."
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
We're joining with Dayle at A Collection of This and That on her Simple Pleasures Thursday. Dayle says she set this time up in her week to help her 'slow down and pay closer attention to the simple things in life.' I like that! It fits with what I've been longing to do in my own life.
To me there's nothing like the SIMPLE PLEASURE of eating hot buttered toast smothered in blackberry jam, and sipping a freshly brewed coffee with it.
Here's to enjoying your own simple pleasures this Thursday!

Oh Brenda! How could you? Now I'm definitely going to make a piece of toast.
ReplyDeleteVee, do you watch the old Miss Marple movies (the one where Miss Marple is played by Joan Hickson)... and some of the other classics from BBC....
ReplyDeletedo you notice they're often sitting down to breakfast?
It makes me hunger for bacon, eggs and toast, with a freshly brewed cup of coffee EVERY time....
BTW, my toast was DELISH!
Brenda, you're the second party-goer who shared a lovely photo of some yummy looking toast. So ... I'm now craving some and must go fulfill that craving. :) What a perfect Simple Pleasures post. So glad you linked up.
ReplyDeleteBrenda,
ReplyDeleteI am a toast and jelly girl for as far back as I can remember! When I was raising my babies and didn't really have time for a big breakfast - toast and jelly (usually grape back then) and a cup of coffee or tea was just the thing! Love your Simple Pleasure today.

I agree and I have got to make more jam this summer! Great simple pleasure
ReplyDeleteI just recorded a quote on our church prayer line "Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will look back and realize they were really the big things." You enjoy the little things, too. And this toast and jam is one of the prettiest little things I have seen today!
ReplyDeleteBah can't say anything to do with food is a simple pleasure for me
ReplyDeleteAs I'm as a picky eater as can be
Worse then a two year old I'd say
But that is just my way
Heck the cat eats more variety then me
So you see
That simple pleasure
I just can't measure..haha
I love hot toast with any kind of bread and use sugar free jam-it's good too.
ReplyDeleteCoffee, toast with cheese and marmalade was part of my simple pleasure this morning. I see you have some cheddar there to the side. The sweetness of the jam and the saltiness of the jam is a perfect combination (and much healthier than chips and chocolate :) Happy day to you, Tammy
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy ....I do love Coffee of the mornings
ReplyDeleteThat definitely is a simple pleasure and treat. You realize it even more when you're on a carb restricted diet, and you think, "I just want a simple piece of toast and jam!"
ReplyDelete(I put an exclamation mark since I generally think it passionately. LOL)
Yummmmmmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteI so could reach into the screen right now and eat that toast!! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteok...this really does look like a bit of heaven. Total yum.
ReplyDeleteooo! now i need to dig to the back of the pantry for some blackberry jam. what a lovely photo of a simple pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI had blackberry jam on crumpets for breakfast today :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree..a great and simple pleasure!
blessings..Tish
I love blackberry jam . My mom used to make it and her's was so good.I buy it now and it is not as good as mom's but I still like it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying simple pleasures -- isn't that what we cats have been saying all along? Still, it's good when a human shows that she understands the finer things in life. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping my and taking the time to leave a comment. Glad you enjoyed walking along with me. :)
