Tis the Season for birthdays. I made a couple pineapple upside-down cakes for Grampa’s 72nd birthday. Boy was it tasty. After realizing that I somehow didn’t gain any weight during the four-week sojourn into gluttonous other-people’s-food land, I’ve rethought my resolution to cut out sweets for a month. Maybe if I have to pay for a few cavities…
And here’s Grampa with his amazing Fly-Lady-sparkling sink — beautifully empty and shiny on no notice!!
Happy Birthday Grampa! And Rachel! And Liz! and Karin! (Karin asked for a tribute on her birthday, but then she said she was just kidding. I guess we’ll have to see how much energy the kids require tomorrow; don’t know if I’ll be in tribute-mode or not).


Awesome sink! Mine looks that good about once a week.
I’m so proud of you for not gaining weight on your trip! That is going to be hard for me when I go home.
I agree with Marcy about the sink. It would be nice to have a sink that clean. I clean the kitchen every day but don’t have it that clean very often. I have one day a week that is set aside to deep clean my kitchen and then it gets very clean.
Beautiful sink! Mine looks really good too, but then it’s a new sink and we pretty much only go downstairs to eat, so it’s easy to keep clean. But I have found a wonderful cleanser that works wonders, it will be on my top ten list tomorrow.
