A Present

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

No, I did not bake this cake, rather it was a present :) I can't believe I am saying this... I guess not being face to face with people makes you do and say things that you would normally never do. So here goes - the cake is a present because today is my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . You fill in the blank. A cousin of mine currently visiting turned up at my home yesterday with this delicious present so I thought that instead of showcasing something that I made, I'd share with you a piece of my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ cake. He baked and frosted it himself, I think that deep down inside, he is a little foodie just like me :) Thank you Yohann!

So, enjoy!

You have made it this many years, & I hope you will be given many, many more. Loved seeing your comment on my blog. Yep, Betty Jo & her hubby were pretty hilarious on bunny patrol. LOL. Oh! You experienced what I wanted to pass along! I hope you get to sit on a mountain top like Roan someday too. And I would love to see & sit along some of your coasts! I love the ocean too.

Happy birthday to u!

Sue said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I'm so sorry for commenting 2 days late. I always think, though, that the actual DAY of the festivities doesn't really matter. Whenever people want to throw me a parade or bake me a cake, that's just fine. I hope you're having a wonderful week.

Enjoy!
