Wasting away in Margaritaville!!

I know that I am not blogging as normal, life for me has not returned to normal.

Think it might be time to redefine normal?

 Anyway, I so appreciate all of you reading and checking in on me.

I promise I will be back on a normal blogging schedule soon.

I appreciate all the prayers for my grandmother.

We are prayerful for the best, and God's will.

Cancer is certainly a terrible thing in itself, add Alzheimer's well you can imagine.

As most of you know my family relocated to Gulf Shores in April.

 So we are living the oil spill first hand.

I wanted to THANK Jimmy Buffett for his amazing concert to help all of us down here!

Here is the Princess at the concert with a very cool VIP

We had a great time!

Thanks for dropping by Y'all!

Foodie Friday!

I am still somewhat on auto pilot.

I hope to spend some time over the next week reading blogs and catching up!

It is the Prince's third birthday this weekend so, you can imagine the chaos added there!

So here is a quick Foodie Friday!

This is a cake I baked for my Mother and her sweet friends.

They had a girl's weekend at the beach!

I used organic sugar around it as sand

It is kind of like a poundcake but not as dense.

GREAT glaze

Here is the pan

It is Nordicware and although I got this one at William Sonoma

 (almost 4 years ago)

You can purchase at Amazon

The recipe is included and is specifically for this pan.

Hope you enjoy!

Be sure to stop by and see Gollum for more Foodie Fridays!
