The lasagna is in the oven...

...the sausage and peppers are in the Nesco and the cake is in the frig!

I gave the hat to my son and he actually wore it to get coffee at Dunkin Donuts!

The birthday party is tonight and I can't wait for my grandson to see Uncle Steve's hat!

Yesterday, my doorbell rang and Fed Ex handed me a box of flowers. The note inside said "from a secret admirer"! I knew immediately that the "secret admirer" is my daughter, an officer in the U.S. Air Force because it's an inside joke between the two of us.

Aren't the flowers beautiful?

Only three (3) more candles...

then the hat will be finished. I can't wait until tomorrow to see his reaction!

You can bet that I will get some pictures!

I have to share a recipe that came across my Facebook newsfeed today.

I love cinnamon buns. In my younger days, I would make a batch from scratch for my family's Christmas breakfast and give a batch to each of my relatives to share with their families on Christmas morning. Sadly, I haven't done that lately, but I might just start again after seeing this easy recipe.

It's made using a 10 inch cast iron skillet (I still have the one my mother gave me shortly after I was married) and store-bought dough. What could be easier if you are looking for homemade taste! I bet it is better than the ones you buy in the freezer or in the dairy aisle in cardboard rolls.

I plan to try the recipe while my son is still here so that I have someone to eat most of them...save one for me though!

I've been busy...

...making the "funny" hat for my son's birthday. It's almost done, just have to add a couple of embellishments.

This isn't the first "funny" hat that I have made for my family; here are a few that I have recently made...:

...and I am sure there will be many more because they each have just as much fun wearing them as I have making them!

Back to my project in my sewing room where nobody dares to come in uninvited!
