So our state government is in shambles, we pay an arm and a leg in taxes, our freeways are almost always congested, and our school system is sub par... but spending a gorgeous November day like this, makes it all worth it... right???
...and why not top the day off with a little Cafe Rio!
I got this recipe from my friend Kyra and love it!!!
1 1/2 c. shortening 1 1/3 c. sugar 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 3 1/2 c. flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp soda 1 (14 oz) bottle maraschino cherries chopped (save juice)
Cream sugar and shortening; add eggs and vanilla. Sift flour, salt, and soda together. Add sugar and shortening and egg mixture. Add chopped cherries. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 minutes.
Frosting: Mix cherry juice, 2 tsp. vanilla and 1 cube butter add powdered sugar one cup at a time, until desired consistency.

love it, and love that it is supposed to be 80 degrees this weekend...it beats a white Christmas any day in my opinion!
Jealous! I'd love to get outside and enjoy some sunshine...no such luck here.
Your family is adorable Melissa. You have twin girls and boys, they look so much like each other!

Looks worth it to me!! I can't decide which beach that is. And of course I'm jealous of Cafe Rio too!
