I bake. I am an older women. My grandson's favorite type of cake is chocolate.
I have a lot of stress. My parents are divorced. My wedding is next week. My dad no longer cares for my mother.
How was your visit with your grandchildren? Do you bake often for your grandson?  I love chocolate cake, too.  In fact, one tier of my weeding cake will be chocolate. I love to bake for my grandson. What flavors beside chocolate do you want for your Wedding Cake? It's an interesting mix--one coconut layer, one chocolate layer and one white chocolate layer,  Somehow the flavors all seem to work together.  Have you ever baked a wedding cake? That sounds delicious. I've never baked a wedding cake, it sounds challenging. How is the rest of the wedding planning going? All done, thank goodness.  I have the pre-wedding jitters primarily because I'm not sure how well my parents are going to act.  There is animosity between them.  The divorce is still fresh, especially for my mom. I'm so glad you have it all set. I am sorry about your parents though. Have you tried to talk to them about setting aside the tension for your wedding? Oh, yes, I have talked to both of them.  And, of course, they both say they will be fine and for me not to worry.  But I was talking to them one-on-one; not sure how it will be when they are in the same room with each other.  Cross my fingers. I will be thinking of you all. Maybe you can put a family member in charge of each of them, so that they can be kept apart. Then you won't have to worry so much. That is actually a great idea!  Thanks for suggesting it.  I will let you know a couple of weeks after how it all went.  Thanks for thinking of us. No, problem. I remember my own wedding and how stressful it was. I wish I had been able to relax and enjoy it more. That's what everyone says.  It would be nice if we could actually take others' advice to "relax and enjoy it."  That's what a wedding should be like, not worrying about things going wrong.  Most of those "things" don't matter.
