Day 5: I ended up making a Pumpkin Cake w/Cream Cheese Icing for the bake sale today. It is so goooood and so fall-y.
Here's the recipe:

In a mixer bowl, beat together eggs, sugar, and oil until light and fluffy. Sift together flour, soda, & cinnamon and gradually add to egg mixture while mixing. Add pumkin and mix until blended.
Pour into a lightly sprayed 13x9 pan or tube pan. Bake @ 350 degrees for 35-45 mins. depending on type of pan you use.
CREAM CHEESE ICING
1- 8 oz. cream cheese-softened

This week is Fire Prevention Week at our volunteer fire dept.
Tonight, the annual fireman's dinner is being held at our restaurant. Peter was invited, so I think we will attend. It is usually a fun night, a great dinner, games, and just a great excuse for Peter and I to dress up and go out together!
I took this picture a few days ago in the doorway of the laundry room at the b&b.
This web has greeted me every morning this summer as I come in for work. No matter how many times I cleared it away with the broom, it just kept coming back. Finally, I gave in and just kept it there. I'm not scared of spiders at all, whenever I see a web, I can't help but think of the movie Charlotte's Web and the qazillion times I watched it with the boys. :O)
Have a T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C weekend!!! :O)
