My mom and I went to the twelfth Ladies' Football Forum at Ole Miss a few weeks ago. It was a fun Saturday. This is a picture of me on the 50 at Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium.

Happy Birthday, Brother!
Today is my favorite brother's birthday! I had the immense pleasure of getting to visit him a couple of weeks ago. I don't get to spend enough time with him. Maybe one day we will live close together again. I will not get to celebrate his actual birthday with him, but I did bake him an early birthday cake while I was visiting.
The cake is from a box, because he doesn't have a mixer and isn't a home-baker, which made buying loads of sugar and flour and making a scratch cake seem like a lot of hard work. I would still like to try this cake made as 4 or 5 layers with buttercream or caramel icing, but I'll have to save that for another time when I have access to a mixer.
I made a Pillsbury Moist Supreme Classic Yellow cake and added a spoon of vanilla extract to the batter. I did make homemade buttercream icing, and I used tubes of Writing Icing by Cake Mate to decorate the cake. They work pretty well and don't taste icky like the tubes of icing I remember from childhood.
Happy birthday, Michael! I hope your day is great!

Woof Wednesday
So spoiled! We try to keep the sofa covered with a blanket so it's not so hairy, but Ralph will curl up in the spot without the blanket, if it gets pushed aside.
