Cake Making Day!

I spent all day making a cake for a friend of mine today.  I had a blast.  Took me all day though.  I started at noon and just finished up about 10pm.  I still need a lot more experience with cake making.  I didn't aim to be perfect, but I still obsessed over it.  I do have say that the chocolate buttercream I put underneath was really good.  I was sooo tempted to keep eating it, but figured licking the bowl would be enough.  So, without further ado, here it is in all it's glory (or not).....

One day I'll buy a real square pan so my edges won't be all rounded.    

I haven't been able to knit all day between the cake and the tree trimmers being here.   That's just really cool to watch.  They've made a mess but the tree is gettin' there.  They will finish up tomorrow morning.  I'm off to knit, later!

Ice Storm Damage 2009

Ice Storm 2009 - Jonesboro Arkansas

I thought I'd share some pictures of the Ice Storm that demolished our area. We were without power for

6 days. We ended up with one hole in the roof and barely any fence standing. Poor Nemo can barely

walk around the yard. It's covered in sticks and limbs. Hopefully our insurance man will return our calls 

soon and we can get back to normal around here. Hope everyone else survived the storm and has their 

power back by now. I know some in our area are not getting power back for about a month. This was 

one scary storm.
