Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming and as usual I'm really behind.  You'd think that working in a shop you could at least keep up with the Holidays, but a last I' always running to catch up. " The Hurrier I go the Behinder I get," I think I remember using this motto through out school and into my life as a mother.  In our business we seem to always be making things work for other people.  The last thing we think of is making things work for ourselves. So we did not get out Christmas cards, and I' rushing around looking for presents to give.

Today is Lewis' birthday!  Every year he wants a special cake a dear friend first brought us 15 years ago.  She gave us the recipe and I've been making it ever since.  So since I can't send everyone a card or a gift this is my gift to all of you.  The recipe for our Christmas Cake/ Lewis' Birthday Cake.
