Let Them Eat Cake



The hand-held mixer did not have much time for rest with all of the icing and batter it had to mix -- three more birthdays with three more must-have cakes.

Autumn Fern's custom-made party included a New York-Style Cheesecake, cheeseburgers and macaroni and cheese for dinner, pink and white streamers and balloons. She received several gifts, all of which she is thankful for.

Main House First Lady Mom awoke to gift bags covering the dining room table as well as a peanut butter cake. One of the gifts of note consisted of three tickets to see My Fair Lady and dinner at her favorite restaurant.

While shopping for Mayor Asher Ply Wood, Main House President Dad and Mom weren't satisfied with the toy isle offerings. They went to the nearest home improvement store, where Dad purchased tools and hardware for a project. "I love my tools and want more of them," said Ply Wood. His cake was chocolate, decorated with nails.

If you like cake, this is a good time to visit Acorn Hill.

Dad's Late Party

Every year Main House President Dad quietly knows that it is his birthday, and every year he gives up his free birthday dinner at Scalini's. He spends his birthday with outdoor writers at their annual meeting.

A week after his birthday, Acorn Hill citizens threw a party for him. Main House First Lady Mom served lasagna for dinner. Dad opened gifts. Then Nathaniel Barn Loft lit the candles on his cake. Dad sat...waiting for the Birthday Song. No one started, and he didn't know when to blow. In the meantime Pastor Eli Hemlock blew out six of the candles. All got back on track once Dad re-lit the candles and Mom started the song.

Later in the month Dad and Mom get to have dinner at Scalini's where mom will get her free birthday dinner.

Daffodil's Gift Sticks

Free stickers! That was an opportunity that Sarah Daffodil couldn't resist. She ordered just the right ones for some of her closest friends. Daffodil's plan is to give the stickers to Mayor Asher Ply Wood and Autumn Fern as rewards when they have tried hard at their math. Ply Wood's stickers have his name on them with monkeyes. Fern's stickers have her name on them with a bear holding an umbrella. Pastor Eli Hemlock doesn't have math lessons. Therefore, he was able to have his stickers right away. His stickers have his name and a train on them.
