On this night exactly one year ago Cousin Patti from Chicago was in town. It was seven days past my due date and there was no sign that this baby was coming anytime soon. Patti brought us a chicken dinner including a lemon pound cake. We ate, went for a walk, and wondered when the heck I was going into labor. Little did we know that the lemon cake had magical pregnancy inducing powers. That night we went to bed none the wiser to what the next day would hold.
Today, as luck would have it, Cousin Patti was in town for a business trip. She joined us for dinner. We served chicken and she brought a lemon pound cake to commemorate the occasion. But this time she also brought a little chocolate cake with a “1” birthday candle just for little Carla Ann.
Thanks, Patti, for bringing this sweet girl into the world for us. Your cake made it happen!
