Weekend Wrap-Up





A trip to Universal Studios amusement park



Oliver messed around with the shark from Jaws


Henry left 
 of chickenpox and emerged from seclusion


I hate amusement parks but sat on a Curious George chair and paid $.25 for a foot vibration  massage.


Marilyn Monroe drove by


Bob Marley probably turned over in his grave 


and when I got home I baked two cakes

Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Butter Cake with Chocolate Ganache Frosting and Chocolate Topped Cookie Mushrooms

  2. Thank you for admitting that you hate amusement parks...I thought I was the only one. It looks as if it was fun for the boys, though...and your cakes? Bliss.

  4. I can't decide which I covet more. Marilyn's car or those two cakes. All 3 in my greedy hands would be ideal of course.

  11. What Ms. Moon said. And I hate amusement parks too, but I love that Henry is better and that you got a foot massage. On a Curious George chair, no less. And someone here in Florida caught a bull shark in their back yard that looks just like the one Oliver had his head in. No kidding. Won't catch me swimming in the bay any time soon...

    P.S. (I'm okay, had a good day yesterday. For which I'm grateful. The unexpected moments of life springing up again when you've felt like death. Thus the post, the poem, the gratitude for people who lift me up when I'm down and out. I'm sure you know exactly what I mean.)

  12. I despise amusement parks too (just more evidence, as if any was needed, that I am not the "fun" parent). Love your toes, your cakes, and the pictures of your boys..and most of all that Henry is out and about again.
