Happy 29th Birthday to my son Matthew!

Wow!  I can hardly believe that it's been 29 years since the day I bake apple pies and banana bread ALL DAY LONG!  I had a bushel of apples and a bunch of bananas - and I rolled out pie dough all day long....and baked....baked...and baked some more!  I knew I was in labor...and I didn't want to have apples to work on when I got back from the hospital.  Maybe that's why he likes to cook.  Ha ha!

My son Matt....I am soo proud of him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT! 

 I LOVE YOU AND AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!
