As our long time Fans know, we Raleigh Housers are ourselves Fans--of cake. In particular, we are fans of the cake that comes at least four times a year--i.e. the traditional Ekkers birthday cake: Duncan Hines classic yellow cake with strawberry jam between the layers and chocolate frosting. As many of our Fans also know, today was an occasion for just such a cake. Ted turned 37! Besides eating birthday cake tonight, he got to open birthday presents this morning.
Ted made out pretty well, but next year promises to be even better. We know because this morning Joe told Ted that next year, he would go out to the store with Mommy to get Ted a "stuffed animal friend" for Ted's birthday, you know, "to snuggle with." Fans, we know. Your heart just melts like a birthday cake candle! We're just 364 days away from meeting this new stuffed animal friend, and from celebrating again the guy who makes every day seem like an occasion for birthday cake around here.
He is special! Grandpa Tom
