Here is my four legged friend, wishing against all hope, that while the lamb cake was being made perhaps a drop of icing may fall his way. Oh that a jelly bean might roll onto the floor and make his dreams come true. He waits.....................and watches.

The girls had an Easter get together yesterday. There were 9 kids, 8 in this picture. They laughed and joked and played DDR and Apples to Apples and Imagine If from 1 o'clock to 11 p.m. They are a great group of kids. I must say, my daughters have great taste in friends. Everyone is really nice.

Easter Lamb Cake

My girls made a lamb cake for Easter. These photos show the front and the back view of the cake.
It was made with vanilla cake and was
delicious. What is that strange thing on the
front of the lamb cake? It's an ipod of course!
:D :D :D :D

These are some "bead buddies" that the girls made. Erin made the bead people and Kristen made the bead mermaids. They are very tiny, made with seed beads and are quite precious!

Kristen painted this egg so beautifully. She used a toothpick to paint it. :D I want to get a cover for it to protect it. The yoke is blown out so the shell is fragile. I love it!

Sunshine Medley

This is a doily I just finished called Sunshine Medley. It's 27" and made with a size 7 hook. I used a soft green, a sunny yellow, white and a varigated orange. It worked up pretty fast. It was made from a chart and since they are so easy to follow, that is, you don't have to read the directions, I got it done fairly quickly.

Erin was chosen as one of 4 girl senior girl scouts to be an escort for the Women of Distinction for 2008 by the Girl Scouts of Southern and Central New Jersey. She was paired with Candace Kelley and met her in February and learned all about her career path and her life. She's a very sweet lady. She's a

host and producer for CN8's "Comcast Newsmakers" and is a commentator, writer and reporter. She lectures and has made appearances on Extra, CN8, The Russ Parr Show and WBLS in New York City. She's also a correspondent for Black Entertainment Television. She writes a column called "Closing Argument" that covers legal issues within pop culture. She anchors the PBS affiliated series "Another View". You can see her on Another View by clicking here: http://www.njn.net/television/webcast/anotherview.html

Her writings and research have earned her five Emmy nominations and four Telly Awards.

She's writer for the legal publication Lawcast. Also she is a professor at Rowan University where she teaches broadcast journalism courses and Communications Law. She is one busy lady!!

Candance was honored by the girl scouts with the Women of Distinction Award last night at the Tavistock Country Club. We were honored to sit at a table with Candace and her beautiful family. Erin went up to the podium and gave a short talk about Candace and then presented her with her award. It was so much fun!

With the warm weather comes the crocus. I spotted these beauties and ran outside to take a picture. Then Rocky promptly lifted his leg so he could "own" the crocuses. He "owns" a lot of the back yard. ;D

Erin

Here's my darling Erin while we were on our walk yesterday. It was so warm outside. It went up to 57 degrees. It was sweet. ;D

Erin and I went on a walk yesterday. I stepped on a piece of glass and it wedged itself in the sole of my shoe. The shoes are really thick but that darn piece of glass poked all the way through. Luckily I have a thick insole in the shoe and it didn't poke through to my skin. I couldn't walk with the shoe on until we got the glass out. I broke off a piece of it thinking that I could get it flush with the bottom of the shoe but after breaking it it looked like this picture on the left. Finally we bent the shoe in half and I pushed from the inside where the glass was poking through and Erin took a stick a was able to push it aside and out. On the right is what it looked like after removing it. What a freaky thing to happen!
