Records are back. And so is Michael Jackson. I thought records were out, but apparently they are back. In case anyone is looking for Michael Jackson Thriller 😂
I found this adorable ornament at at St. Vinnies. It's the same style Aragorn's aunt used to draw. Too cute!
Just don't order anything from Facebook ads. Just don't. I ordered a rotating shelf. I received a pair of socks and a note that said that I was the 99th person to order so I got a prize. The tracking number was used to prove that my package arrived. Paypal denied my case saying tracking said it arrived. Apparently it didn't matter that a shelf is a heavy object and tracking said it was a lightweight package. ARGH.

Bilbo turned 13 this week THIRTEEN! He requested an ice cream cake so here I was working on some of it.
He wanted cream cheese coffee cake. The same recipe I got back when I first got married from Aragorn's cousin. Except I forgot to double the flour so it was just the way the kids like it, "rare".
Off to work by herself for the first time.
Bilbo turned 13! He had quite a day!

Bilbo's birthday gift finally arrived just in time for his birthday.
We didn't have his birthday cake on his birthday as we were going to pick up Eleanor from a paint night so we stopped at Culver's for frozen custard. Our lucky day - $2 waffle cones!
A gift from Hartman Farms were we brought our corn and soy beans
