I'll be heading out of town for about a week, so I won't be posting until after I return. I sure will miss you all! Before I leave, here' a cell phone photo Sabrina took when we were celebrating my birthday at Olive Garden. (Mike always treats the birthday-person to a birthday dinner of their choice. I couldn't decide where I wanted to go, but when Sophie reminded me of Olive Garden's Celebration Cake, I knew that was the place. It's my very favorite dessert!)
Oh wait! Don't leave just yet! Among other lovely birthday treasures, I also got a couple of gift cards to a local camera shop. Mike got me one, and Sabrina got me the other.
Here is Mike's:
Sabrina, being annoyed that she was issued a Christmas gift card to give as a birthday present, decided to make the best of it…
I hope you all have a fantastic week, and I'll see you soon! In the meantime, go get yourself a Celebration Cake! Next to the buttercream frosting, the $6.95 price tag for the entire cake is the best thing!

Yum! We don’t have an Olive Garden close by. I think there may be one far away though. Maybe for someone’s birthday we can go. 😀 Have a great time on your time away!

Happy Birthday to you 🙂

Can you believe I don’t like buttercream frosting? Yup. I think it’s the powdered sugar–I can’t handle the stuff.
But, it sure is pretty. Sort of like the snow outside today. What a great idea from Sabrina. 🙂

Happy Birthday!! I’m sure you’ll be putting those gift cards to good use.
They actually use buttercream frosting?! I didn’t think anyone was using it anymore and I had that whipped cream stuff. Nothing but the real thing for me!
Have a safe trip.
