Yep, that’s my favorite saying. Oh, I don’t mind cooking — for special occasions, like once or twice a year . . . .

Our wonderful friend, Ann, had a birthday in July. We don’t exchange gifts any more, but we do try to have a birthday dinner. However, she and Nick were RV’ing out of state, so we had a belated celebration. And — even though this WAS a special occasion, it was held at Texas Land and Cattle on Saturday. I did bake a birthday cake — an angel food cake, her favorite. (How hard is that? Open a Betty Crocker box, add water — oh yes, it should be cold water — and mix for about 1 minute; then, pour it into an ungreased angel food cake pan. If you grease the pan, the cake can’t climb up the sides.)

Happy Birthday, Ann! and MANY MORE!! We enjoyed our celebration with you!
