I should say….
My life is pieces of cake
I didn’t get a birthday cake last year. We had just returned home from our trip to Utah…. we were all worn out…. getting a cake just wasn’t a top priority…
but
let me tell you,
I have more than made up for it this year!
Cake #1 came early
My WIC (Women’s Improvement Club) friend, Joyce, brought me a homemade angel food cake with cream cheese and strawberry topping a few days before my birthday. It was Heavenly!
Cake# 2 was a Coffee Cake
Dear friends, Carolyn and Don brought over a yummy Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake.
It was the best coffee cake I’ve ever had. It made a delicious breakfast and a great way to start my birthday.
…
Cake # 3 is cream filled chocolate
John got it from Sam’s Club and it is really good. LouAnn, Craig and I all have birthdays the 1st week of August so we all got together to celebrate and enjoy this cake that was as pretty as it is good. Half of it is left if you want a piece.
Cake # 4 is a yellow cake with chocolate frosting.
Another sweet WIC friend, Re, brought me this cake that she made this afternoon. It is almost all gone already but if you hurry over you might get a small piece.
Cake # 5 is a spice cake with buttercream frosting.
Darlene, my long time friend from church brought me this delicious spice cake tonight. It is yummy.
…
So many sweet cakes from sweet friends. I am thankful for their friendship and thoughtfulness.
Well as you can see…. I can have my cake and eat it too…. literally!
I’ve been loosing weight…. but after these cake filled days I will probably find it again!
Not only that… but ….I also got a box full of sweet treats from Marie….
…
Silvija made me pies…. but I will tell you about the rest of my birthday on another post… I need to stop writing now and have a piece of cake…. It has been over an hour since I’ve had one.
If you would like to share a piece with me…. just pop on over.
Hugs, Lura

Ohh, so much cake Lura!! How ever do you cope with it all!! lol I have no cake in the house at the moment, but this post has inspired me to bake one today! (I need cake!!) I don't know if you have seen on the news what is happening over here in England at the moment with the violence, rioting and looting. Please pray for us. It is beginning to spread beyond London, up into Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham and Leeds. Very sad and very scary. I send love and hugs to you my sweet friend. xxoo
Oh my goodness Lura - I've never known anyone with so many wonderful friends as you! I'm sure wishing I was there to share with you - the cake and the friends too. :) blessings, marlene

Darn! I just swore off sweets...about 5 minutes before looking at your blog.
OH! I just read Marie's post. That is very scary. I will pray. We need to pray for ourselves too. It will surely come here as well.
Oh Lura what a testament to all the wonderful friends you have, and that you are so loved. I'm sorry I've been too sick to visit, let alone bring you a cake, but I'll make up for it when we finally have your birthday tea.
You are rich with cake, and spirit, and love. I admire you greatly and aspire to have the lovely qualities you have. I'm so blessed that you came into my life. Love you, Jan
OMG Lura How many and amazing cakes!! Im happy you received all this Lura!!What Fun!
Hope you feeling better my sweet friends, you look really georgeous in the pictures LOL, kisses and blessings,. gloria
Dear Lura,
WoW so much cake I have put on 10 pounds just looking at the photo's!
I thank God you are well on the road to recovery after the horrendous time you have had.
I find it fascinating that no matter how massive our planet is, how small our world is too.
I have made lots of lovely friends in Blogland and now there are physical connections.
Let me explain, you are a dear friend of Marie, I met her via her wonderful blogs. Then we met and have become good friends, we are spending this coming Friday together. Through her I have become a follower of you wonderful blog. Last year I was lucky enough to visit New England and New York.
During our visit I met two lovely blogger friends, one of them being Buttercup!! Isn't she lovely? :)
I feel there is a little net being knitted here and it is such a joyous feeling.
Sorry to have gone on so much, but I think it is wonderful.
Continue getting well lovely lady.
love and best wishes
