here is a story....

Yeah, so it has been over 3 months since my last post. I try to think about posting. I have even taken my 12 of 12 pics (except for 1 month) with the thought of getting those posted. Oh well! In fact I probably wouldn't be posting now if my phone had Word on it so I could do some journaling . Instead I will do it here...

The year we moved down from Alaska we lived across the street from the Race family. The oldest son, Doug, had his birthday a few days before my mom. That year they played a trick on him and decorated a styrofoam cake and hid a present inside the hollowed out "cake." Well my mom's favorite dessert was peach pie. And since we were now in California and could get GOOD peach pie, dad decided to play a trick on mom. He borrowed the fake cake and put the pie under it. I am pretty sure that T and I didn't know what was going on. Anyway, mom cut into the cake......and kept cutting!! Instead of the cake just lifting off the pie like it had for Doug, the cake stuck and mom had almost cut out her entire piece before figuring out it wasn't real! Lol!!

Now don't you think it was worth the wait? I am hoping I can find a photo somewhere of that birthday. We were only in that house one year so hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to find.....I hope!
