Eggnog Bundt Cake



Ok Grandma this is a horrible pic of the cake because it was taken on my phone. I'll take a pic of it again with my camera this time. I just have to make another one. LOL My family loved this cake you could taste the eggnog, rum and nutmeg. Ron said he thinks its the best cake hes ever had. What a compliment! Thank you for your advice mixing the topping it was soooo good.

So I woke up late this morning 5:15 I look out the window and I see all the lights on with the calves I ran to the side door and guess whos out there feeding, Travis. Thank you so much Travis. That was so nice. He never went to bed so he thought he'd come over and help me at 4:30 he said he waited and kept looking at the house but nobody came. LOL He called me a liar feeding that early I said its the weekend and I was up with a sick son. Ricky has got this cold coming on hard hes already losing his voice he woke up with it Sunday morning. So he coughed all night next to my head.Sunday

So Ricky Lauren and I are sad we didn't even get to say GOODBYE to the donkeys!
The lady picked them up around 2:30, Ronnie helped load them and they were off.
Hopefully they went to a good home.

What's new!

Ron and I took Mike to the cardiologist today. Everything is stable with Mike we'll see Dr. Worsham in another 6 months.
Ricky on Sat night at the Halloween party really hurt his finger so we took him to the dr. yesterday and dr. McClure thinks its fractured and he put Ricky's finger in a splint. So we took him to get a xray of his finger today so we should know something soon. Ronnie came with us just to miss a school day. Then we went out to eat and came home and i got a bunch of stuff that gets away from me with everything going on all the time. Ron got to take a nap since he had to go into work tonight.
Sad news I think we found a lady to take the donkeys. She has 50 acres in Wickenburg. It'll be nice for them. We had fun with them but I really don't recommend them unless you're needing them to pack up a mountain. Billy's getting nuts with his hee hawwing at now 3:30 in the morning.
So the puppies will be ready to leave shortly to if anybody knows of anybody looking for a beagle mix cute little puppy.
