She is 6 today!

Today is Carlee's birthday, it was sweltering hot when she was rescued from the harsh sun and surrounding elements, but if I look for her now she's most likely laying at the foot of the bed looking into the hallway in case I walk by she can follow. My shadow and forewarner (it's a word now). She has surprised us with 2 howls today, a mournful sound, but I do like it.

Using Grandma's recipe, a rhubarb cake was made. It's the heavy cream that makes it so moist. Their share was small and they liked it, a lot, scouring the floor for crumbs. Taking the cake to work, with her photo in a birthday frame and sharing with my co-workers and many stopped by wishing her a wonderful day.


Thank you to friends for wishing Carlee the same, her golden birthday. I truly believe she likes our family, friends, home and blessings. Those are good presents.
Enjoy your week and stay cool.

  1. Happy Belated Birthday Carlee! Your one lucky young lady to be with the best Mom you could of ever picked! And Barb....that cake sounds wonderful, I haven't had that in years. I am wondering if the rhubarb I still have in the garden would still be of use? Gosh you gave me an idea!!
