you should of seen the look on my grandmas face when we asked her
so we added an e and
our little Baby Renee Sabrina was named
she weighed 6lbs 2oz 4 weeks and 3 days early
she was only 19 inches long
she was a beautiful baby
oh heck she is still just as beautiful he he
happy birthday to you!

I'll have to give your Ice Cap recipe a try - apparently my grandkids are big fans of Tim's ice caps - see if they go for a homemade version! I've tested a few of your recipes - all successes so far! Really enjoy your blog-hope you have lots of fun at convention - maybe some year I'll get there!And a super happy birthday to your sweetie Renee (I too have one daughter, but now also a lovely daughter-in-law-hooray for me!)

Carole'Anne, Thank you for all of the appreciation you've bestowed on me for fixing Max's picture but it was the least I could do for all the enjoyment you've given me from reading your blog, seeing your creations, trying your recipes, and enjoying your photos. I don't often have time to comment on the blogs I read but when I read what you said about the propane tank, I thought "I think I can fix that," stopped working (I work on my computer), and set out to do it. The reason I bought my first computer, about 20 years ago, was because I heard that I could "fix" photos and delete or add people and things, as the case may be. It actually takes me less time to do that than to make a card! It was a pleasure to do it for you! Have a great time at the convention - I sort of wish I was going. Also, Happy Birthdy to Renee!
Dottie
