Gifts from My sister



Imagine my surprise when the doorbell rang the day before my birthday and what I found was this
gourmet Chocolate Birthday Cake, sent to me by my sister and her family! I ask you what could be better than finding a chocolate cake on your doorstep? We put it in the Fridge and waited for my Birthday and had it for desert after my birthday dinner out with our friends the Craines, Steve and Paula pictured above. It was delicious and even with four of us feasting on it we had enough left over to have a second slice the next day. Good thing that finished it off though, or I would have kept on eating it and undoing what little good I have done recently in an effort to fit back into my pants.

I titled this entry "Gifts from my sister " because you can just barely see the turquoise necklace and earrings I am wearing in the picture. They were also a gift from my sister last Christmas. She made them herself which makes them all the more dear to me, not to mention they are the perfect match for my new turquoise shirt!


Thanks to my sister my birthday was everything it should have been, a great dinner, a cold beer, good company and CHOCOLATE CAKE!

    Nice pictures! I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday. It looks like everyone had a good time. Chocolate cake on your doorstep-it doesn't get much better than that! Where did you folks go? The restaurant looks interesting with antiques and such. Love the witch.

    Imagine my delight when I found THE perfect gift for my sisters birthday! I looked high and low and thought long and hard, then I settled on what I thought would thrill me beyond words! Chocolate Cake! The key for me was the size, I sure did not want to over do it! Thanks for the picture, I have been dying to see what it really looked like, We are all glad you enjoyed it! I will have to start thinking now to come up with so spectacular, or maybe the cake would be a good new tradition to start! What do you think?

    Hey June, the restaurant was a german place, I had the cheesy schnitzel and it was wonderful. And Jamie, I like surprises, so if you make it a tradition don't tell me and then I will be surprised if you do!

    Thank goodness someone in your family still has the ability to do something unique. I'm glad you had fun!
