I did not get much hand work done today. The boys gave their dad some cards, I went grocery shopping to get not just regular food but all the ingredients to make some Indian food for dinner, at Peter's request. I also decided to make a cake for my husband who is a wonderful Dad, as a surprise. It is a coconut peach layer cake with a whipped cream frosting. Yum. I made it one time last year and Peter loved it so I told him I would make it again one day. It is a delicious cake, but it takes just about every bowl and baking instrument in the kitchen. Takes as long to clean up as to make and bake! I am mostly a pie baker, but this cake is worth the effort. I got the peaches at a local orchard that is about a mile from my house. Not only local, but very sweet and yummy.
The in-laws descended on our house today- bother in law, sister in law, nephew and a cousin of the sister in law. They brought food for lunch, and lots of energy! I finished the cake while all this running around and visiting was taking place.
Lucero, my sister in law, decided to buy a bunch of my cute knitted stuff. I am so glad that Zinnia, the horse, and one of the sheep, are going to a good home! She also took the carrots, the pea pod and some hair bands.....!
I made some more flowers.

I hope to go to bed early tonight and maybe finish this great book I am reading by Anne Lamott, "Traveling Mercies". I am really enjoying it. She has a sense of humor I really appreciate. It is a funny, tender and spiritual book. She is, as is said by a critic, irreverently reverent.!
See you all soon,
Lanie
