I spent much of my day reading and responding to birthday text messages throughout the day, and of course, had to include a Starbucks visit to claim my free drink. Claudette had one ingredient missing for my “traditional” Tiramisu birthday cake, so a store bought cake it was for this year (no worries, I have… Continue reading Cold birthday
FAQ-January Post
