Thank you so much for stopping by for Day 2 of my Birthday Bash!
And ya know what...
...today is my birthday! The big 3-0!
Of course, we're going to have cake today, too, so grab a glass of milk, a cake plate, and put that fork in my most favorite flavor--yummy, delicious coconut cake! I have loved coconut cake since I was a kid, mostly because of my fond memories of making them every summer with my grandma. I would spend anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks with her every year, and we would make a coconut cake at least once, usually in time for Sunday lunch with my parents when they came to pick me up until the next visit. Those cakes were sooooo moist that when she divided up the leftovers, she basically had to spoon it into a container! (Then I had to "fight" with my dad to get as much as I could in the days that followed!)
So, enjoy that virtual, melt-in-your-mouth coconut cake today! What I wouldn't give to have my grandma here so we could make the real thing. :o)
Now, while you're here, let's celebrate because I've got LOADS of books to giveaway! I can't keep all these books, and I need to share the book love. No doubt about it, there's sure to be something down there that'll strike your fancy.
