We've got another birthday in the family today -- Alan's dad, John, celebrates his 74th 73rd 74th birthday today. (I think I've finally got it right!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, John!
We're having John and Sue (Alan's mom) over for dinner tomorrow, and it should be fun. Burgers, presents, and cake! Can't go wrong with that on a Sunday afternoon!
I made a spice cake ...oops! not a spice cake... it's a butter pecan cake (mix), topped with a coconut pecan frosting. I hope it's good!
PS: Here's a sneak peek at another one of my new stamp illustrations, part of the upcoming Whipper Snapper release!
Now THAT'S a birthday cake! Yum! Love your image, and love your fun commentary for John's birthday! Hope he had a great day.

Thanks for all the well wishes for my birthday. Anna is a real dear by knocking a year off my age. She is just making sure I get her something for her BD next month.

I didn't bake him a cake but I gave him a big can of caramel popcorn. He says it was good. I think he shared it with his buddies at the grocery store where he works.

Ooops, forgot to mention that the new Whipper Snapper Designs are too funny, especially "Irresistible"! I can so see your humor through your designs, Anna.
