Boy oh boy oh boy OH BOY!
Mickey is the one who suggested that we should have a party. We stopped for lunch in Chatannooga, TN at a place called City Cafe. They had the most amazing display of cakes and cheesecakes that, of course, Mickey saw. During lunch she asked me if I had seen them. Her way of asking for a piece. Now, how did she know that those displays had also caught my eye? Did she know that I baked? Did she know that it was my weakness? OF COURSE SHE DID, THE MASTER MANIPULATOR! I tell you this because I want you to realize that we know she's not perfect. She is an incredible woman. End result? I picked up 3 pieces of these lovely cakes at $6.00 each. One was peanut butter blast. One was called a hummingbird cake and the third was a white chocolate raspberry. OMG!!! Well worth every single penny, we each only ate half and are saving the rest for tomorrow. Wow, manipulation has its' payoff, huh?
I learned something this mind-boggling adventure. It was my intention to fulfill a wish Mickey had told me years ago, one I thought would never be possible. The idea was that we 3 sisters would gift her with this trip. Now here is where it really gets sappy! I know now that the gift wasn't ours to give, but hers. I have received much, much more than I gave. Today, as we were driving through Tennessee, it was snowing as we were going through the northern part. All I could thing of was the legions of angels that have kept us safe this entire trip, surrounding the car. As she touched the hearts of so many people, she so touched mine. I have a new respect for her and I love her so much, well you know, grab the kleenex with me. All together now. Thank you, Lord.
With great love,
Cheri
