The pink roller skate cake has been featured on the Cake Mom’s Birthday Cake Month! Be sure to check out her post. And, as a side note, I’m trying to talk Adam into going to the roller derby with me. He thinks it sounds boring, but it’s only $5 each so if it’s boring, we …
Ok, if my last post didn’t make you smile today, this one should do the trick. This sign was seen hanging outside of an Asian food market in Gainesville: I’m not kidding! Adam spotted it and snapped the photo with his iPhone on Monday. This place is definitely a vegetarian and vegan paradise!
A couple of weeks ago, I went to a lake in Gainesville on some official business. There were a lot of ducks there, and they assumed that every visitor was there merely to feed them! Since we were not aware of these ducks before the visit, we didn’t have any food, but that didn’t stop …
