A New Addition To Bucket List

Awhile ago I wrote out a "bucket list". I've decided I need to add one more.

Lately, PBS has been showing the Anne of Green Gables series. Anyone who knows me knows that as a young girl (starting in 5th grade to be exact) I fell in LOVE with this book series. I could so relate to Anne and her disdain for her red hair due in part to her reading of various novels and poetry that NEVER had a red haired beauty. They were always the blond or raven-haired beauties. There were also so many more parts that I could relate and admired in Anne. When the tv series came out when I was in middle school. I, again, fell in love with this character. Megan Fellows truly embodied what I pictured Anne to be like!

So as for my bucket list . . . . I want to go to Prince Edward Island, the location of where all these wonderful stories take place. I actually went to the PEI travel website and so wanted to book a travel package right away! (Although, I don't think my husband was as thrilled with the idea. He just doesn't get it. He's one of those raven-haired people.)

To see the "Lake of Shining Waters", Green Gables, etc., it makes the little freckle-faced, red-headed school girl in me just giddy to think about! Someday, PEI. Someday.

Monkeyin' Around

Here is the monkey cake that I made for Little Man's 1 year photos. It was his first time to ever eat sugar! We laughed so hard because he kept putting his foot on the cake stand by the cake and got chocolate all over the bottom of his foot. He also had chocolate smeared literally from ear to ear and looked like he was wearing a beard. It was hillarious! Can't wait until his actual birthday!

Wanted: Friends!

That's it! I need friends that are close by and that I can go and do stuff with. Or I need to join a book/bridge/or some type of club where bringing food is encouraged. There are just too many recipes I want to try and due to my extremely picky hubby and too little child, there they sit on my computer and recipe collection collecting dust.

Will you be my friend and eat with me?
