Robben Ford- Don't Let Me Be Understood/ Lyrics /The Animals - Don't Let Me be Understood
Baby, do you understand me now, sometimes I feel a little mad

And don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel

when things go wrong your bound to see the bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

oh no, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby sometimes I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to hide

And then sometimes it seems all I have to do is worry

and then you're bound to see the other side

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

oh no, please don't let me be misunderstood

if I seem mean to you, I want you to know

that I never mean to take it out on you

Cause life has it's problems and I get my share

and that's one thing that I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

Oh oh baby, don't you know I'm human

I have faults just like any other one

and sometimes I find myself alone and regretting

some foolish little sinful thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

oh no, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oatmeal and Orange cookies

Now It's very cold here, in Israel but the morning was warm, without any cloud in the sky, No rain in Israel for a month or more.. we're hoping a real winter will come in a day or 2; Israel needs some water..
Walking in the sun makes me feel very good , not in the summer of course.. so here you can see part of me ( my shadow.. ) in the sun..wait we're going to bake some new cookies in a minute or 2..





















I was walking,and walking , the sun was so good; Suddenly,near a big garbage can.. she was lieing there.. looking for some food or just enjoying the sun like me.. here is she :You have to enlarge her photo : a white cat with green eyes.. she was watching me ...

The evening comes here very early, in this time of the year..at 5:00 afternoon It's dark outside.. and cold; you can wear another sweater, drink another cup of Tea.. hot , with honey or brown sugar (no milk - thank you); and you can bake something, you'll become warmer in few minutes, yes It's true. So, I took my very old notebook ,here :

















I was looking for a new recipe , maybe for any cookies , without too much eggs (4 eggs were left in the fridge) .. I was reading recipes ,most of them were old and my favorite; here is the Hebrew recipe for the cookies I've baked today: Oatmeal and Orange cookies ;
(that pink bookmark was made by me some years ago..)
