Jan. 28

I love my family!  I managed to get both brothers to my parents last night for family dinner.  First time since Christmas we've all been together.  One brother did salad, the other brought steaks, and I did stuffed potatoes and a pound cake.  Oh, and I brought rolls.  The cake was a new recipe for me... from a Paula Deen cookbook.

It's one of the prettiest pound cakes I've ever made, and it tasted as good as it looked.  The potatoes were pretty good, too.  Here are a couple that were leftover.

You can see the cheese and the bacon bits.
After dinner, Dad showed us the scar from his knee surgery.  I took a picture of it, too, to send to my daughter.

He is recuperating very well.  He should be good to go in another month or so!  So happy for him.
