I recently had a birthday and had such a wonderful time that I thought I would blog about it and since you all are dying to know what kind of cake I had, I thought I would share this with you.
We went to the Marietta Diner for our dessert which is supposed to be a famous place of old, in Marietta. It is located near Sam’s and the Big Chicken on 41. We didn't eat it there, since we had just finished a delicious dinner of Veal Gorgonzola at Vincent’s on Barrett Parkway, (there’s a plug for you Paul!) so we just got the cake to go and went home to eat it.
It was a little after nine when we got home so I missed Skype-ing (that was such a bummer) with my grandbabies. But that’s another story.

Needless to say this goes for Kennesaw homes and other cities we serve too.
You want to be sure to have your lawn cut, edged and your flower beds weeded. Fresh pine straw is always great. If you have trees that have created bare spots just put pine straw around the tree and turn that bare spot into an island. Also, if you have small areas were there is low drainage (a wet spot) you can always plant bushes and then pine straw it.
