Hello Readers,
What a beautiful holiday weekend. I hope all my readers out there had a fabulous weekend. Lets give a salute to all Past and Present men and woman serving in our Military.
Can you believe that we are almost into June. Summer is creeping up on us. I am so loving the Season's now that we live in Pennsylvania. I would love to share this Chocolate Cake that I made for the family. It is so rich, moist and to die for. If you are a chocolate lover, you will so enjoy this cake.
