This is a picture of a totally eatable wedding cake. Everything is made with various types of cholate and the castle soft candy and sugar. It's the story of Cindarella and Prince Charming, the castle represnt the story that is in the book (the chocolate ganosh cake beneath the castle). It seemed a shame to cut into it, but man was that an awsome tasting cake.

WHERE WILL IT ALL END ?

After seeing the carnage at Virginia Unitversity, I can only wonder ..Where will it all end?
Didn't anyone learn anything from MacDonalds, or Columbine? What is it going to take to get people to sit up and take notice of all the wierd stuff that is happening right here in America. Isn't anyone looking, or observing, do we no longer listen to that gut feeling we get when we know something awful is about to happen in the near future? Teachers can't you see your students? public servants have you no eyes or ears. Regular students, when you hear and see one of your own acting in a morose or withdrawn manner, or if a fellow student makes inuendos of violence don't you believe in questioning it, seeing a teacher or a counselor or even your parents. Are you all so detached from your mom and dad that you won't talk to them when you know there is danger afoot? Americans have become strangers to each other, and many of them have turned thier backs on God. Perhaps we need to start praying in schools again, pehaps we need to allow God back into our lives. I am a 68 year old great grand mother, and I remember praying in school, being able to bring a bible to school, and being free to speak of God. This week is a week of sorrow, grieving and pain. Perhaps we should get out that old bible, dust it off and start reading it. No matter what our faith is, if we believe in God, then we need to turn to Him.

Happiness is Hugging Ben - Great Grand Son


I don't think there is anything sweeter than hugging and loving our numbah one great grandson. He is such a joy to our lives. Carolyn and Rolando brought him by a few weeks ago. We had a great weekend together. We bought the movie "Charlottes Web" for him and he loved it. Imagine this 18 month old tot, understanding and just loving Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider. I may just take up embroidering again, so that I can make him a pillow with a picture of Charlotte on her web, with the words Wonderful Benjamin written into the web. Now all I have to do is get the energy to go buy the embroidery threads and of course the throw pillow and material to cover it with and everything MUST be color coordinated. I am anal retentive about Feung Shui (sp) I love color coordination and emotional balance within my boundries, ie home, car, where ever I may abide.
