I’ve been sleeping on the job to let October 14th go by without letting you know it was National Dessert Day because I don’t know what you think but in my home dessert day is very important to me. Although, as you know I’m on a diet and can’t have very many desserts but once in a while it’s okay to splurge, isn’t it?

What would you like for dessert today? I think instead of making something I will just get Hostess Suzy Q’s Chocolate Cake David got me at Walmart and a glass of Milk. Would you like to have Hostess Suzy Q’s Chocolate Cake with me, or I can look and see what else David has brought home for snacks.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
