Good Afternoon!! Celebrating President’s Day with a nice 4-day weekend!! And it was nice indeed. I planned myself a me-time getaway, and it was absolutely wonderful!! I didn’t go far, just stayed at one of the Hilton hotels about 30 minutes away. It was relaxing, quiet and oh so needed. When I checked in, the guy at the desk asks if I would be staying alone, and I was like, Oh, yes, and told him it was my me-time getaway. He said when he worked at a hotel in Florida, a lady would check in the same time every week, and he finally asked her what it was that brought her to the hotel so frequently, and she told him it was her time away from her husband and kids, it was her Calgon moment. She would order food in and spend time in the Jacuzzi. That must have been one happy lady, if she was able to do that on a weekly basis, lol 😀 I still have today off, then we’re back at it on Tuesday, but silently counting down to Spring Break. 😉 Hope everyone is doing well, here’s to another week!!
Linking-up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

FAVORITE RECIPE:
Here is another one of my favorite family recipes, I am the 4th generation to make this cake. It’s simple yet so delicious, perfect with coffee.
Milnot Coffee Cake
3 cups flour
3 t baking powder
½ lb. butter or margarine
1 can Milnot (Evaporated Milk)
2 cups sugar
2 t Almond extract
4 eggs
Pinch of salt
Cinnamon and Sugar mixture
Blend flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter until crumbly. Take out 2 good sized handfuls (about 2 cups) and set aside. To the rest add eggs, milk and almond flavor. Pour into greased 9 x 13 inch pan and sprinkle crumbs you set aside. Then sprinkle top with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
HAPPENINGS AROUND TOWN:
Our library also has an Adult Game night. When my mom was at the book club meeting, she found out that this month the Game night was for Scrabble. So her and I went. We played with two other ladies, one that I knew from the Adult Coloring Café, and the other lady my mom knew, neither of them had ever played Scrabble before. It was fun, my mom actually won at our table. There weren’t any prizes, but it was fun to get out and play, as well as chat with friends.
