Lasagna and Birthday Party

Last Sunday, Feb 8, we started off the day by going to Webster's Flea Market for produce. We got some wonderful egg plant, green beans, peppers and a half a flat of strawberries. I will miss all the fresh produce when we leave Florida this week. Next we drove to a nearby citrus grove and got a quarter bushel of mixed fruit with red grapefruits, navel oranges, tangelos and honeybells. It was so much fun to pick your own out of the bins as they came right out of the adjoining groves.

Paul and Connie graciously invited the Class of 2007 to their new home in Ocala for a lasagna dinner. It was the largest pan of lasagna I've ever seen! Connie said it just fit in her new oven sideways. That pan fed 14 of us with each couple taking home a serving.

Connie outdid herself with this fabulous meal. Then to celebrate Molly's "39th" birthday Connie made an amazingly delicious red velvet cake. It rose a lot in the middle and kind of formed a dome, so we named it the "booby" cake. But then someone added a grape in the middle, so it became "the nipple" cake.

After dinner Molly started cleaning up and got down to wipe up the floor, then she rose up in a yoga posture and I got the shot!

Happy, happy birthday, Molly. We have been honored to be with you for your last two birthday parties....covering nearly both sides of the country. Last year in Arizona and this year in Florida....we do travel a bit don't we.

It was a fun evening and we wish Paul and Connie all the best in their new home without wheels. Hope to see you on the road again some summer.

Remember - you are loved!
