Daddy and I had a pleasant weekend. Saturday I cooked all morning, and went with my sister and her granddaughter to attend your cousin's baby shower in her new home. How fun, I took a few pictures and shall perhaps send a couple when I print them. Her son is now weighing in at 10 pounds, and was loved by all of us as he slept totally "at home" in anyone's arms, a dear contented little fellow. The house is very nice, it went from a condemned house to a cared-for home for our family, thanks to a gentleman who was truly into redoing a sad house into a home for a family.
Dad worked on a puzzle I'd gotten at the Senior Center, and we finished it by late Saturday. He sent a few puzzles with me to my sister, she loves them too.
I had baked a cake that Saturday morning, from a cookbook that always gives excellent results, made one of Marge Clark's chocolate cakes from The Best of Thymes, kind of brownie-like, with a cup of strongly brewed coffee, unsweetened chocolate, and the normal ingredients otherwise. We enjoyed, and gave one of your brothers the remainder after we enjoyed with banana split ice cream yesterday evening to take to work today to share. We all agreed we didn't need more calories, but it was yummy :). Your brother and lovely sister-in-law brought Daddy neat items for bicycling: a compact pump in case he needs air during a ride, a beverage container, and 2 safety lights to attach. We're just waiting for those spring days now! I believe I told you how his gifts we got from you were delightful including the three-wheeled bike :). He has read most of his almanac I'd found at that bookstore with you both before we enjoyed those treats your husband bought us :).
And I think those slippers are SO fun! What a multitude of choices!
Give your new kitty a hug from us.

The slippers are from a site I had sent to her,
