Hi everyone. It's not morning but almost bedtime, lol. I've been making cake decorations for a bake sale this weekend. We have a young man in town who has lost over 100 pounds and needs the loose skin on his stomach removed and has no insurance and the provincial insurance doesn't cover that surgery. So there is going to be a gospel concert with a bake sale following to help with his expenses. I'll be singing and decided to make a couple of cakes with an Easter theme. That darned buttercream icing is so good I could (and did) eat it by the spoonful. I got on the bike for a second time today to try and counteract the effects of the icing swallowing.
Marie, that quilt is so pretty. I used to do quilts but have decided I don't like doing them so I gave away most of my quilting things. I don't think you should have the buttercream icing recipe because you might have a downfall like I did today. Here's a link to the recipe I used if you really must have it, lol:

Bobbi, I don't do much on facebook. There's only so many hours in a day.
I'm trying to do this from memory so not much will be remembered.
Rosey and Ladysheets, I don't have much spring here either. Actually, we have a winter storm warning for tonight and possibly part of tomorrow. It's looking like a Christmas card outside--snow falling and the trees are covered. The only bright ray is that it won't stay too long.
Ladysheets, so sorry about your friend. Yes, things change but we always miss our dear friends.
Gayle, your weekend sounded so nice with family. And a picnic in the park! Wow, right now we could have a toboggan party with all this snow falling.
Lynn, you have such an interesting life doing things like a cousins' reunion. I thinks that's such a wonderful thing to do.
Karen3, are Armadillos considered pests in Florida, or just at your house? Such strange animals (well to me they are).
Mary, I'm sure everything will go well with your stress test. My sister administers those at the hospital where she works.
Andi, are wild onions edible? I love onions.
Big
to everyone.
Well, I did OK today food wise if you don't count the icing eating. I did do double on the bike to try and compensate (as mentioned above). The weekend wasn't too bad either. I had dessert (strawberry shortcake) but I only made one for each of us so there were no seconds. I also had a bag of chips (individual size) on Sunday for a treat but only had a little fruit for supper. This sounds like a confession, lol.
