Today we are heading out to stay a week at a AirBNB on a lake in Gaylord, MI. I actually am writing this post on Friday and scheduling it to post on Saturday morning.
I am looking forward to a week of being with my grandsons every day! Maxwell is always asking for a sleepover so he's getting 7 of them!
My daughter is turning 40 on Sunday so we are having a birthday party for her. I have a special gift I had made for her and I'll tell you about it next time I post.
I made the red, white and blue dessert for our 4th of July party and it was delicious!
I think it came out ok. They never look as good as the picture of the recipe though. I cut a angel food cake loaf into slices for anyone who wanted to add it in with the fruit and cream cheese.
The only thing was there was too much fruit and not enough of the cream cheese mixture to make it look even. If I ever make it again I will probably only use half the fruit!
Anyway, I have a lot to do before we leave. I can't wait to tell you all about it!
Until then stay safe and well my friends!
