The boy turned 18 yesterday and the Marines are calling

I did not make these cakes they were make for him by a friend of his. I made a chocolate cake with strawberry icing all from scratch.

So he turned 18, got his arm piercing re-done as his father had him take it out a few years ago, bought a pack of cigs (just great) and has been getting calls from the recruiting office of our local Marines (oh joy) thank goodness he hasn't been answering them.

18 years ago I gave birth to a baby boy - goodness me. That was a long time ago and so much has changed since then said the grandma from her rocker.
