I most often use an online dictionary and thesaurus. But this book is extra special to me. My mother saved S&H Green Stamps that she received from every purchase she made at the grocery store. I remember licking the yucky stamps and pasting them into little booklets. Then Mama would redeem them at the Stamp Store.
The year was 1993. It was our oldest son’s first day of high school. Doesn’t he look excited? I think the discouraged expression is intended for Mom: “Do you have to take a picture?” Our youngest son was all smiles for his first day of kindergarten. I wish I could have gotten a picture yesterday as they headed off to school again. This time gainfully employed. The oldest was on his way to Elon and the youngest headed to teach math at a high school. So very proud of them both!
I made this big “Little Debbie” cake for my oldest son’s 33rd birthday. My husband always has a supply of Little Debbie cakes on hand. I used those to decorate one 12″ layer, two 8″ layers, one 6″ layer, and lots of chocolate icing. One of my grandson’s asked for just one tall slice. He was a little disappointed when I only cut through the top layer.
