X'mas give away time - Apfel-nuss kuchen

Its the 1st Sunday of Dezember. Today I was in the church after a loong time. When was the last time ? don't remember. Church was almost empty as most of the young people here won't show up in church until X'mas (like me..lolz). Couldn't understand wot the priest said, the German was like official n tuff . Now what happened today was one old lady captured my full attention , she came a bit late & was looking very different . Hair was very wet & curly & not at all dried , as if she came just after shower .....can't imagine in this cold weather , was carrying a loong fancy pink umbrella, then one dark pink pants with lots of design n gilt ...must be from summer, after sometime I realized that she has been living on the streets. She was wearing all she could to keep her warm in this cold winter . old but tidy boots, one long shawl, another wool thing covering her. It seems like she tried her best to look also good ..was wearing a red lipstick & took bath in this cold cold winter morning.. its like -7 degrees today. What to say....I am full of respect for her . Even in such bad life situations she didn't let her spirit die. One need a lot of tolerance for it .Its not achievable for most of us. Every day I have something to pray n today I prayed for her during the mass. Once again may god bless my old lady & also you for stopping by :) ! Now comes my X'mas giveaway Cake recipe : This time it is a crunchy delicious bailey's German apple-nuts cake . No time to make glamorous pictures as I hav to make as many as possible.
