Bill’s Birthday

One week after Ben... it’s Bill’s turn to be celebrated!
We started the day with a nice breakfast. We bought a new bread machine that makes amazing breads, well, it is not only the machine, I have to say that Bill is quite an expert as he’s been making breads for many years now. But that machine helps a 100% whole wheat rise well. Usually we don’t go for "more expensive means better" but for this bread machine it is true. Check it out if you’re thinking about buying one, it’s worth the money!

Got a little side tracked here... Back to Bill’s birthday.

The kids and I made him a wind chime with one of the many abalone shells we have, sea shells and drift wood. We took advantage of Bill being gone one day last week to work on it. (Bill had to go back to Modesto for work) Turned out real nice!

After breakfast we packed a lunch (it’s all about eating, isn’t it?) and went for a walk through Caspar South to a marine reserve. On the way there we saw deers, quails and their chicks, wild turkeys and we also found some ripe yummy blackberries and some that were not. We had the beach all to ourselves that’s where we had our picnic. It’s a gorgeous beach with dark sand, surrounded by cliffs and so relaxing... just the sound of the waves.

We finished the day with a big carrot cake (Bill's favorite). We used a recipe from Evelyn our ex-neighbour from Modesto. The recipe is actually from her Mom. It is very moist and delicious. Feel free to email me for the recipe. I haven't had better carrot cake than this one but next time I need to remember to cut the quantities in half. It's way to much for the four of us. It made a good breakfast this morning, though :)

Happy Birthday!
