Here is what was a close up of the Picture Of The Day.  It is a wedding cake Christi had to make.

This cake was beautiful and very large and heavy.  It was a carrot cake and the bottom layer is a double 14” round, and topped with a double 12” round.

  We weighted it just for fun and it weighted in at 28-1/2 lbs.  I know it was delicious as she had a little extra left over so I was able to taste it.  Good job with the cake Dear you do wonderful work.

Hope everyone has a sweet day,

Dale & Christi

Picture Of The Day

Here is what you were looking at.  It is a close up of a Duck’s nest at our church.

         This duck has been laying eggs by our church for the past several years
         and decided on a new spot.  You cannot see where the nest is even if you
         walk right up to it.  The nest is underneath the bush on far left, right under
         the window.  In the past he has always chosen a spot about 30 feet to the 
         right of where we are looking.  But each year his nest gets invaded by an
         animal of some sort, I’m thinking it might be a woodchuck.  So we found
         the nest by accident as we were putting new wood mulch around the church a
         week ago.  So today I took some pictures of it.  She was not too happy and 
         stood in the parking lot waiting for me to leave her alone.  Hopefully her new
         well-hidden spot will allow her eggs to hatch this year.

Answer To The Picture Of The Day

These pictures were taken of a beautiful Rhododendron bush on the side of Joey & Melissa’s home.  There was a busy bee that landed which I tried to get a close up of.  I had a hard time getting him to stay still long enough to snap a shot.

I hope everyone is enjoying their spring, as the weather in Michigan is just starting to be beautiful and warm, but not hot and muggy yet.

We miss you Mom & Dad

Thanks again to Phil & Sherri for purchasing a beautiful arrangement of flowers to go on Mom & Dad Waite’s gravestone.  We are starting to notice less and less flowers being put on gravestones, which I think is sad.  I am so thankful for them for doing this every year at Mother’s Day.  Christi mentioned that it may be a tradition that is going away, and when we pass from this earth this will not be anything done anymore. As long as we are able we would love to keep up this thoughtful remembrance of our parents.  It’s hard to believe Mom has been gone 17 years and Dad 7 years.  There is not to many weeks go by that something comes up or you see a photograph that brings back a good memory of them, or brings a tears to your eyes.  We love you Mom and Dad, and look forward to seeing you again someday soon in Heaven, where flowers will never fade.
