HAPPY BIRTHDAY, youmeus !!! You must think we don't love you!

You are forgiven! Thanks for the unique cake, the name "Lila" on the base is special---my sister's name!

Life was crazy the last week so might not have seen this if you had been on time. One of my brothers passed on 12/3 and the funeral was 12/8, I was trying to recover for my birthday present.

My hubby turned 80 on 14th so the kids had a big party for him on the 12th.

Now to get all the Christmas goodies baked and presents finished. Daughter wanted photos for the party so had to dig out some boxes & albums I had done a good job of stashing in closets/boxes under bed/in dresser drawers---you get the picture. SO I decided not to put them away and am fixing 12 albums to give the kids/grands for Christmas--thankfully we don't do ours until New Years Day so if I hurry I will be ready---wow, makes me tired just thinking about it. I hope they like them and I know I will feel good about getting that much cleared out.

NOW you are probably wondering why you wanted to chat. Think what we could do over a cup of tea and some of these fresh cookies.
