Ever notice how blowing candles out gets everyone’s attention and they all want to help blow out the candles. Notice in the picture that Tobey, Brady and Grant are puckered up to blow also. Even if there are just two candles. No I am not claiming to be 2 years old. A little girl about to be 6 on July the 7th told me how old she was going to be and I had to tell her that on July the 6th my birthday cake would have a 6 on it also but there would be a “O” behind it. I have been blessed to make it to 60 years of age as of tomorrow. I have also been blessed with a beautiful daughter who is also a very good chocolate cake maker as well as a very good cook.
We had a really good time visiting with family and friends this weekend with a get together (birthday party) at our house on Saturday and another one at Ida and Tim’s on the Bayou Sunday evening for our 4th celebration.
At Wesley UMC we had a covered dish lunch after church service and I just want to thank God right now for all the good cooks we have at Wesley. There was enough food to have fed many more which is always the case at most of these dinners. What a great day, great weekend, great birthday and great God. It is truly from Him that all good things come. Lets be thankful to Him for all of our blessings, even though we may be guilty of gluttony. Well I guess I better just speak for myself on the gluttony sin but I did see some pretty good size plates piled up every where we went this weekend. Good fun, good food, good fellowship. God is good!!!!!
I want to add a thanks to Jeremy Parzen, my son-in-law, for these pictures. You can go to his blog page at http://dobianchi.com/ to see some others.

It was a good meal & fellowship and remember that a lot of these recipes will be in our cookbook that will be ready to purchase sometime in September so order plenty to give to family and friends.
