Sunday, March 08 was my dad's birthday.

I say "was" because my dad passed away in 2007.

It is also the First Year Anniversary of the unveiling of his monument at the Grotto.

We spent a whole day, barbecuing and just having a wonderful picnic at the Grotto.

I don't have photos myself, but I'll ask for some from family members that did take photos... hint, hint hint. :)

I also made some banana cake (4 trays), 1 better than sex cake (who ever named this cake is seriously lacking excitement behind those doors..LOL!), and 2 rum cakes. My poor rum cakes, my sister had an eye on them, she attempted to stash one of the cakes for herself.. LOL.. (yeah my rum cakes are that gooooooooooddddd!!!LOL) I promised to make one for her lastnight, and I did. I delivered a beautiful rosette style rum cake to her last night!

Happy Belated Birthday Dad, we love you and miss you so much!!!
