Almost Time for Parade of Cakes-----Again

Greetings all,

How is the weather where you are? It is nice and cool here this morning after it rained in the night. Boy! Can you believe all the bad weather everywhere lately? Missy Barb had some things ruined at her house from lightning-----and she had most things unplugged!

As the title says, it's almost time for another Parade of Cakes at Missy Linda's house. Last time there was chicken pox, and I don't remember what all else, and then it kind of fizzled out. This time I hope that we get to have it as scheduled. A week from tomorrow, which would be Friday, at dinner, at least three birthdays will be celebrated-----but, probably, four. There are actually two more birthdays in the family that month, but these are the ones that we will celebrate. We will celebrate Missy Lesley's, Mr. Brett's, Missy Ryley's, and Missy Linda's birthdays. Another Missy Leslie (notice spelling) also has a birthday in May and so does Missy Lesley's dad. On Saturday, Missy Ryley will have her own party at a birthday-party-extravaganza-pizza place. She will be three years old. I hope that I get to go to that party, too. At least I am sure that I will get to celebrate the ones at Missy Linda's house.

So far I know that there have been requests for two strawberry cakes. That's all right because there's more than one way to make a strawberry cake. The point of Parade of Cakes is that each birthday celebrant gets his/her own choice of cake or other dessert to celebrate his/her birthday------no matter how many we are celebrating at one time! There are stupid hats and usually, some other stupid stuff. I love it when you humans embarrass yourselves by acting silly. The best part is, you guys don't even realize how embarrassed you should be! It usually works out that we have this three or maybe four times a year. That's as often as Missy Linda's family can all get together. There is food running out everyone's wazoo by the end of the evening! It is all great fun, and the five little girls certainly enjoy all that cake. I can hardly wait-----how about you?
