If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd Have Baked A Cake
I walked in mom’s house to find her making a cake:
I was delighted to say the least that she was doing what I consider a happy thing. When it was finished, she let me frost and decorate it. I put all different colored sprinkles on it and labeled it “A Rainbow Cake”.
I hope she eats a big piece tonight and I hope it tastes good to her. Since the chemo, her taste buds have changed tremendously and nothing has quite the same flavor it did before.

I love watching squirrels run around mom’s backyard. I don’t have many trees around my house, so I don’t get to watch them enough.
After taking that photo, mom gave me some sunflower seeds and I filled the feeders. Of course as soon as I walked outside, he ran away. I was hoping to get some good photos of him feeding, but he never returned. Now that I am at home, he’s probably out there with his jaws full!
Mom beat me in a game of Skip-Bo, but then I beat her (only by two moves) at Chinese Checkers:
We had to use one black marble and one white marble because we didn't have enough!
We sat on the deck for a little while and walked around the yard so mom could see her flowers. She wore a mask because her counts are low right now, but I know she enjoyed getting out.

You had a "good" visit with Sharon today, and I am thrilled to hear this news. Her making a cake is the best news yet.

I know what you mean about your mom's taste being off. I hope she enjoyed a great big hunka that happy cake!.
I am glad to be in Kentucky this week and I can't wait to finally meet you! We've been blog friends for quite a while.

Becky, I have sent you the lyrics in email. I have the song on my computer, but have no idea where Kevin got it. Maybe if he sees this while he is at work, he will reply and let you know ;)

Thanks Tee. They used it as the theme song for the show Life Goes On. And they use to use it for the birthday morning songs on WLEX. Then of course they changed it and put something on I didn' like.
