Cake

So I thought to myself, I bet somebody's written a song about cake that can accompany a picture of the birthday cake Demetrius made me.

Yep--

If you ever want to have the very best day of your life
the memory of which will see you through in times of strife
you only need the knowledge that there's someone who will make
a really really lovely tasty tasty tasty cake

I like cake cake cake cake cake cake cake yeah
I like cake cake cake cake cake cake cake yeah
I like cake cake cake cake cake cake cake yeah
I like cake cake cake cake cake cake cake yeah
Gimmie some cake cake cake cake cake cake cake

Except, it turns out, I wasn't able to get a good picture of the actual cake.

It looked sort of like this, though.

The point is, it was yummy. And my husband is the best.

Roughage party??

You have no idear how many times I take a picture of something amusing, thinking that I might post it here. Often, by the time I get back to my computer, I decide the thing wasn't all that funny, and I end up not posting it.

But it's late night, and, what the heck--maybe it will give somebody a smile.

I was at a local Asian market the other day and spotted all sorts of oddly named food items. But the one I seem to keep snickering about is this one, which, as best as I could tell, appeared to be a bag of individual wrapped rice cake type snacks. Except that there seemed to be other grains involved, like maybe puffed wheat.

Called "Roughage Party".

Heh.

Yep, I'm pretty sleepy. Time to summon Brady and Winnie and head into the "cave" for the night.

Take care, everyone.

Need one more reason to come to Deanfest this summer?

I painted this for Hubby's birthday last year.
His birthday is in April, so this is Vermont in April.

It's a view of Lake Champlain as seen from the Causeway in NW Vermont.
The first section shows Mount Mansfield in VT.
The second section shows Camel's Hump in VT.
The third section shows Whiteface Mountain in NY.

If you look closely you might find a Robin in a tree,
a seagull (yes we have seagulls), a pair of mallard ducks,
and a sailboat which has Hubby's birth date on the sail.
Vermont...well worth the trip. ♥

Alas, poor Yuri...

Ran into the grocery store the other day to pick up the last couple ingredients I needed for dinner, and saw this...



In case you can't read the words on the box, this is apparently one of the "Planet Heroes" by Fisher Price.

Uranus "Yuri"

• Uranus tilts over so far on its axis, it rotates on its side.
• 7th planet from the sun

"Planet Heroes"? I didn't see any other Planet Heroes on the shelf. Just Yuri. Poor guy...for some reason, he's the last one picked!

While in Chicago, I visited a 7-circuit (classical style) labyrinth (as opposed to the 12-circuit Chartres style labyrinth) for the first time. Hard to tell, though, because it had snowed. :)

M E R R Y * C H R I S T M A S * E V E R Y O N E !

From a song by John Denver...

The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving
As the year draws to its close
I think about my living

Christmastime when I was young
The magic and the wonder
Colors dull and candles dim
And dark my standing under

Oh little angel, shining light
You've set my soul to dreaming
You've given back my joy in life
And filled me with new meaning

A savior king was born that day
A baby just like you
And as the Wise Men came with gifts
I come with my gift to you

That peace on earth fills up your time
And brotherhood surrounds you
That you may know the warmth of love
And wrap it all around you

It's just a wish, a dream I hold
From days when I was young
Merry Christmas little Zachary
Merry Christmas everyone


Love and Blessings

Merry Christmas

Church this morning was a very weird experience. I was the only person there without a "speaking part". There was the priest, the deacon, the deacon's husband (doing the readings) and me. But there was still a sermon. The priest started out by saying, "I know I'm getting old when I almost like it better this way."

The big services were last night, but I used that time to reconnect with a friend I haven't seen in four years. Her husband had the kids and she was spending Christmas Eve alone. As I think about it, for this year, the small, quiet service was what I needed this year anyway.

After church, I went to see The Curious Tale of Benjamin Button. I figured that was enough of a "chick movie" that Demetrius wouldn't mind missing it. But he was with me in spirit, every time there was a point in the film I knew would have him groaning (or playing a tiny little imaginary violin). ;)
