Another gap in between my posts, but at least it's only a little over a week this time since my last post. Well, I have gotten older since my last post. Also in a new age bracket, the big 40's. I turned 40 last week. I had a wonderful birthday. My family blessed/spoiled me. My supper was prepared, along with a beautiful cake & some ice cream.
My daughter did my cake. It was only her second cake to decorate. I loved it. She did a great job. The home made icing on it was delicious. Here are some pics of her fabulous decorating skills.

| She is decorating the cake with a butterfly and "Mom's 40" on top. The sides will have vines with pink roses and one pink flower on top. |
 |
| Finished with a smiley face on the butterfly. |
 |
| I have to admit, I was surprized at how she did such a great job on the vines and flowers on the side of the cake. I also have to express my joy that she did me a cake with a butterfly on it instead of the black & white over the hill 40's cake everyone usually has. I love butterflies. I'm proud of her decorating skills. I believe she is going to become a natural at cake decorating. |
My son prepared supper for me. He fixed a nice dish of enchiladas. They were delicious. We are beginning to have some great chefs in this house.

| Our table is set with the main course of enchiladas and my birthday cake for dessert. Thank you Matthew and Sarah! |

| She just had to get the birthday Mom in the picture! |
Other than the great birthday, some school work & a park day with our local homeschool group.
Today we are baking Amish Friendship bread. Going to try a couple of different flavors than we've tried in the past. Looking forward to tasting them.
More later. Hope all of you are blessed. Happy homeschooling!
