Our vacation here in Missouri ends tomorrow. Our next stop is Memphis! We will be in the land of Elvis for just two weeks. We will also be very close to the track where I did most of my racing. We will stay in a private campground to start and then we will move to a state park. We would have liked to have stayed at the private park the entire stay, but the weekly rate is pretty high. We are not staying at the state park the entire time because they do not have full hook-ups which means we have limited water. Mama really does not like not having full hook-ups. We are currently in a state park without full hook-ups and our water supply is running low. The folks are taking showers in the bath house and no laundry can be done. They do not have a laundromat here.
While we were here, Dad celebrated his upcoming birthday with the family. His brother's birthday is in July and his birthday is in August. They had a joint celebration. A friend of Dad's sister made their cake. It took her four days.

The cake was huge! It was very moist and tasted great according to the folks.
Hopefully, we will get back on track with regular blogging now that our vacation is ending. Mama is really behind on her restaurant blog.

Hope you got a little piece of cake to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThat isn't a cake, it is a work of art! Happy Birthday to your dad. Hope you get a campground with full hook up soon.

Dear Joey, you are such a treasure, to write about the birthday celebration, and NEVER even mention whether you got (stole) a piece of cake! The cake was beautiful, but WHERE are the Greyhounds in the cake frosting?
ReplyDeleteBetter wear your blue suede shoes at Memphis!
That is one amazing cake!! Happy birthday to your dad.

What a cool cake! Someone has A LOT of talent!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing your mom's first order of business when they get to the private campground will be LAUNDRY. Boy, do I feel for your folks having the limited water. I would not like that, either.
As always, wishing you safe travels as you head to your next spot.

That is the coolest cake i have ever seen!!! Happy Birthday in Augest!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll go look and see if I can see one or two of your beautiful Greyhounds!
Memphis! Oh boy, that's going to be fun. Please tell the friend of Dad's sister that that is the most awesome cake I have ever seen. Wow! Safe travels and I know we're all looking forward to your new adventures.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks too fantastic to eat! I'm glad it tasted as good as it looked.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to have your mama go and visit the track in Memphis where you used to race?
That would be kind of cool. Mom has been by the Memphis track a few times, but she never got to stop and look there.
I hope you have safe travels on your way there!
