A visit with my sister

Tuesday we decided to get away just for the day, so we went

to visit my dear sister that lives about 2 hours away.

I don’t get to visit with her very much so it was nice to just sit

and talk to her for awhile.

She baked the most delicious oatmeal cake for us to enjoy

together. It was so yummy!

Of course both our husbands enjoyed the cake too.
