If I knew you were comin’ I’d have baked a cake…

and I did which will be served with strawberries and whipped topping .  Does anyone remember that old song sung by Eileen Barton?

I purchased California strawberries at the store yesterday.  They don’t have the flavor yet that they will have later in the season but they are not half bad.  Good enough I thought that they needed to decorate a cake.  My  niece is coming for lunch and that will be our dessert.

Sunny and 2 degrees this morning with a wind chill of 15 degrees below zero.  However, it is the first day of February and it will soon be spring.

I hope you all have a good weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

  4. Hi Beth, yes, I remember that song. I've been buying strawberries also to top off my cereal in the morning. It's better than nothing on the cereal anyway. Guess we're sharing pretty much the same weather even tho I'm probably 300-400 miles north. Spring will come. At least February is a short month.
