Thank you so much for those kind words! I think the next try will be just a little bit better because it seems to get a little bit more like it should on each try. I think it's because of all the things going on in the cake, either that or I'm just not very organized. Although it looks like it was a lot of work making it, the first time was a little bit more than I bargained for but the second time was way easier because I knew what to expect. Yes! On birthdays there is no limit to what you may have. I tell them that the sky is the limit. One of these days I'm going to eat my words.

The commissaries are all different and some on a little tiny base like Pope Air Force Base was, in Fayetteville, was no more than a big corner store because of course, you had Fort Bragg right outside the gate to shop at. With all the base closings and the combining of forces, they have made bigger commissaries and fewer of them. Most are very typical of a high-end Market, where, as they used to be no-frills because the base supported them, over the years it has changed, and now they need to be self-supporting and use local sources. Harris Teeter rocks! That's the store that's closest to me. I had no idea until I looked today for some reason but Harris Teeter is wholly owned by Kroger's! Who knew? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving all your generous words!

#MarketFriday loves you!
