A couple of weeks ago, Nick and I were shopping at the Home Depot in Lake Orion for some flush-mount ceiling light fixtures. Who should we run into in the check-out lane but Billy Gibbons, the famous guitarist from
ZZ-Top. You may be asking yourself, as was I, "What is Billy Gibbons doing in the Lake Orion Home Depot?" Turns out, he was shopping for stuff, (according to the check-out guy, he needed to fix some camera stands). He was putting on a concert at
DTE Energy that night. Anyway, I approached him and asked if I could take his picture with Nick, and he was kind enough to oblige. Thank goodness for camera phones! He even bought Nick a little toy car flashlight from the checkout lane. As you can imagine, my music lover husband was rather excited about the whole thing and was sending phone pictures of him to everyone he knew. I finally figured out how to move pictures from my phone to my computer, so I thought I'd share Nick's earliest brush with fame. I think the looks on Nick's face are hysterical. It's like he was thinking, "Who are you and why are you touching my cart, you strange looking, Santa Claus look-alike?" You never know who you're gonna run into, huh? It's a good case for showering and putting on make-up before you run out the door....
I swear officer - I only had one cider....!
BIG tractor tire!
Nick loves peas, and he loves using a fork. The two don't necessarily go so well together. He balanced the pea....
Nick likes the kitties A LOT. He follows them around the house, and on this rare occasion, they both let him pet them.
Tim and I attended the Traverse City Epicurean Classic held at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute. It's an annual three day event showcasing chefs and wineries from around the world. We only went to the final reception, but here are a few pictures of what we enjoyed. A fabulous dessert table, amazing cuisine, and a shot of the beautiful building that houses the culinary school on the shores of Traverse City Bay. YUM!

Nicholas loves Dora the Explorer. She is his not-so-secret crush. Dora is his favorite book, and he also likes his Dora Crazy 8's and Go Fish Card Set. 
Sometimes people ask me what types of cakes I make. Well, I mostly make the cakes that people ask me to. But it ranges from fun kid's birthday cakes, to traditional cheesecakes, to the occasional wedding cake. Here are a few I've made.
