Free Kindle Books, Birthday Cake, Butterflies, Fangs, Recipes, Coupons and More

Yesterday my 85 year old neighbor lady stopped by to invite our family over for pecan pie and coffee on Sunday. Her husband, the retired Air Force Colonel {who wants to run for congress}, had found an award winning pie recipe from Texas last week while were talking in the garden and was going to have his wife make it.

Well, as my neighbor lady and I were talking in our family room, {that now has walls! as she pointed out} I mentioned I had to get my entire downstairs painted this weekend {to stay on schedule} and that it was also Monkey Boy’s birthday on Sunday and the boys had planed to go shopping for his present.

“Oh! What is your son’s favorite kind of cake!? I will make him a cake for his birthday. This means of course you will not get your pecan pie though.” 

Oh.My.Word.

I giggled, and then admitted I hadn’t thought about making Monkey Boy a cake because I DON’T HAVE AN OVEN and how lovely it would be if he had a homemade cake on his birthday.

Can you believe that?

I tried {once} turning her down but quickly noticed the twinkle in her eyes and the smile growing on her face before she announced she’d be making him a very moist chocolate cake with a marshmallow frosting in a SQUARE cake pan. And then promptly told me it was my job to buy the candles.

🙂 It was AWESOME. 🙂

I barely know my new neighbors and I love them already.

Happy Friday everyone. Life is good!
