Aggle, today is Mom's birthday. Are you making Italian cream cake? Or are you still eating that cranberry pie?

What are you doing?

Speaking of Mom kinds-of-things: Aggle, you know when I told you about those Pond's face wipes? The lavender ones are HORRIBLE. But the citrus/cucumber ones are still great.

To celebrate Mom's birthday I went to the big RV show and thought about re-doing the Grand Western Tour.  Only this time it would be done right 'cuz I'd do it in an RV and not stupid tent camping!  Hahahahahaha!

Italian Cream Cake sounds wonderful. Maybe I should make that tomorrow while I ogle the RV brochures.

Noted about the lavender face wipes - this is important camping information.

I love your blog watercolor.  Thought it odd that someone (I forget who) asked if it were tangible or digital - then you said it was DIGITAL!  Oh my - digital watercoloring. What will they think of next?

How are you?

(One time Aggles and Mom went on a cross-country camping trip together. Can you imagine?)

I've never had Italian Cream Cake.

Judging by this recipe, it sounds divine... http://www.thetastefullife.com/blog/2011/11/16/italian-cream-cake/

Me, too. What gina said. I love this. And I LOVE the idea of Italian Cream Cake. Yummmmm. Sounds better than ... crap. What's that Italian dessert called? Ah. Tiramisu. That.

I really hope that celebrating your mom's birthday feels warm and happy and full of even MORE excellent memories. Hard? I don't know how it couldn't it be. But, to have so many scents and tastes and textures to bask in, to have so much of her spirit with you. Back to yummmmm.

I dislike Tiramisu also,by the by. This will be a difficult day, but you are fortunate to have your sis to share it with.

I haven't had Italian cream cake or cranberry pie. They both sound tasty.

Item the first: So happy to have a face to put with Aggles's name!

Item the second: J'adore Italian cream cake. I forget where I used to have it -- somewhere in ancient memory. Maybe it will come back to me. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Chattanooga.
