Hi folks and Happy June!

It's hard to believe that June has arrived already!  Man, time really 
does fly whether you're having fun or not!  From the looks of the 
forecast on the Weather Channel, we're set to start in on about a week 
of days with temperatures up in the 90's.  That's a little early to 
start that as far as I'm concerned, but I wasn't asked.  I'd be willing 
to rock on for several more weeks in the 70's or maybe 80's before we 
broke into the extreme temperatures. 

Our second Gear Up camp starts today, and we have Upward Bound going on, 
so we're going to be pretty busy feeding kids for a while.  Some people 
have the mistaken notion that we close up during the summer or that it 
slows down, but a great deal of the time, it seems busier than ever with 
all the various groups coming and going, juggling schedules, etc.

Yesterday ended an era at Eastern.  Hank Mooney, long time Director of 
Public Information here at Eastern, officially retired after decades 
here at his home away from home.  I see a lot of fishing in his future.  
He ate in the Cafeteria yesterday and was telling me about having gone 
fishing this past weekend and his granddaughter skunked everybody!  I'm 
sure they were both proud!  Sounds like Hank will have a little fishing 
buddy for sure there.  He did promise to be back every week for Kiwanis 
meetings, though, so we'll be able to see him and keep up with all his 
goings ons, hear some more fish stories, etc.

Our menu for today includes:
          Pork chops
or      Chili dogs and Fries
          Mashed potatoes and gravy
          Fried okra
          Navy beans
          Brussels sprouts
          Cornbread
          Biscuits
And for dessert, choose from a selection of pies, including Lemon, 
Chocolate and Butterscotch.

And don't forget, the Cyber Cafe will be open today!

Have a great day at Eastern,

Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

This has been a short and sweet but busy week.  It sounds like the mass 
confusion that had taken over the bottom floor of the Library building 
with all the offices moving is coming under control somewhat, now that 
the offices are temporarily relocated into Choctaw Hall.  I  haven't 
ventured over there yet to see for myself, but I'll have to sometime 
today as I have bills to be paid and need to get some change and check 
our mail.  I'm glad Linda Enis sent out a list of "who's on first" over 
there.  I've printed that off and will definitely be taking it with me.  
I've only been in that building a couple of times, so I'll definitely 
need a "map".   

Congratulations go out to Bookstore Manager Ali Martinez, who recently 
achieved a goal many people never do.  She earned her Bachelors degree!  
She is now the proud and knowledgeable recipient of a Bachelor in 
Science degree from Southeastern in Durant, with a major in 
Psychology.   It's wonderful that the technology is in place so that 
students can do this entirely on line, as Ali did, and not have to move 
to a bigger college town, or drive back and forth every day.   I know 
she struggled to find time to do this amid her other activities, working 
full time as our Bookstore Manager, helping with PAWS, attending church, 
and still having time for her family and her beloved dogs.

PAWS will be having a meeting this evening at 6:00 in the Latimer County 
Public Library.  This is actually our May meeting which was postponed 
last week in order to allow us to hold an adoption day to find homes for 
several pound dogs, as the pound was becoming overcrowded, and sadly, 
when this happens, sometimes the decision is made to have the dogs 
killed.  We wanted to avoid this if at all possible, so decided to 
postpone our May meeting until June 2 in order to have the adoption day, 
which turned out very successfully, allowing several wonderful dogs to 
find homes with families and not have to be returned to the pound and an 
uncertain future.

I'm happy to report that tomorrow my mother, Lillie Hayes, will 
celebrate her 94th birthday!  Born in 1917, she's certainly seen a lot 
of changes in her lifetime.  Like many Okies, she resided in California 
for a while in order to find employment, but moved back home many years 
ago and has lived in Oklahoma (Bengal and Wilburton) for the majority of 
her life.  She still has a way to go to catch up with her mother who 
lived to be 99 years and 1 month, and her older sister, who recently 
passed away at the ripe old age of 108!

Our menu for today includes:
            Cube steak
or         BBQ on a bun with Fries
            California blend vegetables
            Green beans
            Corn
            Hot rolls
And for dessert, get dirty, with some Mississippi Mud Cake.

Have a great weekend,

Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

Man it seemed like my weekend was busy and the heat didn't help any!  
Friday was Mom's 94th birthday and we went over to spend time with her, 
and made her a birthday cake, but she felt too bad to eat any.  I wound 
up spending the night with her just to make sure she was going to be 
okay.  Saturday I had PAWS pen duty, and Sunday I had to take my 
daughter and some friends to church camp at Honobia.  I hope they get to 
swim a lot or find something else to do to keep cool, as this is 
supposed to be one of the hottest weeks for this time of year in quite a 
while.  I thought I saw Bigfoot crossing the road on my way back, but it 
might have just been a deer.  I was looking for him though!  If it was 
him, he was probably heading for somewhere cooler!

I have been enjoying sitting outside in the evenings when it cools down 
some.  Our mimosa tree is blooming and you can hear the hummingbirds 
visiting the blooms way up in the tree, and I've got a bunch of 
beautiful, bright yellow day lilies in bloom.  My clematis vines are 
full of purple blooms and covering my arch and trailing down the fence.  
The only downside is the hungry mosquitos, but if I spray something 
around for that, they back off and then I can enjoy the nice evening 
temperatures!  

This year's Gear Up camps finished up on Saturday, so that crew can get 
some rest now and start preparing for next year.  I'm sure they're all 
breathing a sigh of relief!

Our menu for today includes:
          Chicken alfredo
          Baby carrots
          Mixed vegetables
          Brussels sprouts
          Steamed baby red potatoes
And for dessert have a piece of Cheesecake!

Have a great day at Eastern,
Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

Looks like another hot day coming up in a string of them.  Seems like 
we're getting plunged into summer all at once instead of little by 
little this year.  The best time of the day as far as I'm concerned is 
in the evening when it cools down.  My days are spent alternating 
between my cold office and hot outdoors, but the evenings are great, 
sitting outside enjoying the outdoors, (as long as I've got mosquito 
repellent).  I've almost got some little cherry tomatoes ripe, and some 
of the larger variety on the way, Gary's squash and cucumbers are coming 
right on up, and so far my little cantaloupe plants are holding their 
own.  I noticed a toad in the bed with them the other morning, so maybe 
he'll keep the bad bugs off them for me. 

Anyone interested in helping with the next EOSC Picnic should attend the 
meeting today at 1:00 in the Library Conference Room, and everyone is 
welcome to attend the Staff Council Meeting immediately following. 

Our menu for today includes:
            Brisket
            Mashed potatoes and gravy
            Corn on the cob
            Spinach
            Macaroni and cheese
            Baked potatoes
            Hot rolls
And for dessert, have some Apricot Cobbler.

Have a great day at Eastern,

Hi folks,

Looks like another really warm day coming up.  I've got an umbrella here 
in my office in case it rains, but I'm thinking of putting it to use to 
keep the sun off me when I have to walk to the other building!  At least 
a little shade would help.  Don't forget to leave plenty of water for 
any pets you may have to leave outdoors in this heat, and make sure they 
have a shady spot they can get in to avoid the extreme temperatures 
caused by exposure to direct sunlight.  And make sure and water your 
outdoor plants as they will dry out pretty quickly in these temperatures 
with no rain.

Be sure and tune into Mountaineer Radio at www.radio.eosc.edu and listen 
to Dougo from 8:00 to 11:00, playing great music, sharing  stories of 
interest, interviews, and lots of other informative and entertaining 
goodies.  And the great music doesn't end when he leaves.  You can 
listen to Mountaineer Radio 24-7 from your internet connection, so go 
ahead and tune in!  

Our menu for today includes:
          Pork loin
          Mashed potatoes and gravy
          Green peas
          California blend vegetables
          Wild rice
          Hot rolls
And for dessert, have a piece of yummy Chocolate Cake!

Have a great day at Eastern,

Hi folks,

Well, for most of you here at EOSC, this will be the end of your work 
week, but here in the Cafeteria we have one of our busiest days coming 
up tomorrow with the big annual Choctaw Nation GED Graduation Dinner 
being held here on campus tomorrow evening.  There are people from all 
over the area that attend this graduation ceremony and the following 
dinner.   They always seem to be well pleased with our new Student 
Center facility and the wonderful dinner they are served.

Our Board of Regents will be on campus today for their monthly meeting 
and luncheon. 

The Sunbelt Classic is coming right up, as is the summer Children's 
Theatre Workshop. 

My little cherry tomatoes have started ripening the last few days, and I 
went out and had one as a little pre-breakfast snack before I came to 
work this morning.  I'm looking forward to more and bigger home grown 
tomatoes as the summer wears on.  I've been faithfully watering them 
every evening, so I'm hoping they'll keep producing for quite a while.  
This is my first year to really grow any tomatoes (outside of pots, and 
that didn't work well), and I'm really amazed that I haven't killed them 
yet!

Our menu for today includes:
          Lasagna (Love It!)
          Green beans
          Corn
          Sauerkraut with little smokies
          Garlic bread
And for dessert, have a helping of delicious Blackberry Cobbler.  It's 
especially yummy with some of our soft serve vanilla ice cream on top!

Have a great day at Eastern,

Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

Man, it's hard to believe it's the  middle of June already!  Time really 
does fly!  No wonder it seems like I'm paying the monthly bills every 
week! 

My family and I had a good time at a family reunion (my side of the 
family) this weekend.  There was a good turnout and it's always nice to 
get together with family you don't get to see that often and catch up on 
everything.  

According to my calendar for this week, the Sunbelt Classic is going on, 
and our Children's Theatre Workshop will be in session, also.  We hosted 
the annual Choctaw Nation GED Graduation dinner Friday evening on campus 
once again.  Those people who think campus just shuts down during the 
summer really need to think again!  Sometimes it seems we're even busier 
at times during the summer months than we are during the regular school 
year. 

We have a great menu for you today, including:
          Roast beef
          Mashed potatoes and gravy
          Corn
          Green beans
          Brussels sprouts
          Hot rolls
And for dessert, have your choice of either Cheesecake or Pecan Pie.

Have a great day at Eastern,

Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

Looks like another warm day coming up.  I found out yesterday that 
evidently our so called garden needs watering both morning and evening.  
I don't believe I got around to watering it yesterday morning, so 
yesterday evening, everything was really droopy!  I'm sure I would've 
been too, if I'd been out in that heat all day without a drink.  I made 
sure and watered this morning before work.  It's actually nice out in 
the mornings and evenings.  It's the middle of the day that has us all 
hunting for shade trees or air conditioning.  And always remember to 
have plenty of water out for any pets that may have to be outside in 
this heat.  I have a couple of water tubs that I always keep filled for 
whatever comes by needing a drink.  I have peeked out at night a few 
times and seen a 'possum sneaking a drink before wandering on its way to 
find some dinner.  (Sometimes they go around front and eat cat food 
which irritates my cats, but they have sense enough not to make a big 
fuss about it.)   And of course, the birds love a good bath in the morning.

Happy Birthday wishes go out today to instructor Jan Meins.  I hope 
she's having a wonderful summer break, and has a fantastic birthday.

For those of you on Rural Water, don't forget the Rural Water meeting 
tonight at 7:00 at the Wilburton High School Commons Room. 

And I'm sure all the local rodeo fans are looking forward to this 
weekend, as the Wilburton Roundup Club hosts the annual rodeo.  I hear 
Belle Starr may even show up for the parade on Saturday, so keep an eye 
on your valuables!  She has been known to rob a few banks in her day.

Our menu for today includes:
             Baked chicken breast
or         Salisbury steak
            Mashed potatoes and gravy
            Corn on the cob
            Fresh asparagus
            Catalina blend
            Hot rolls
And for dessert, have some homemade Banana Nut Cake with Cream Cheese Icing.

Keep cool,
Rhoda   8-)

Hi folks,

I was glad to get the rain we got last night, but not real crazy about 
the loud scary clap of thunder it started with.  It was so sharp and so 
loud and seemed so close that we thought something at our house had been 
hit!  At least I didn't have to water everything this morning, and one 
of my water barrels filled up for use later.  The other one, 
unfortunately, cracked right around the bottom during the extreme cold 
we had last winter and I need to figure out a way to fix it.  Anyone 
know a surefire method for this?   These barrels have stood up to cold 
temperatures and freezing before, but this past winter when we had 
several extremely cold days in a row must've been too much for it.

Remember, today is the deadline for turning in all bills, etc. to the 
Business Office!  Let's try and keep Linda Enis happy! 

I think a fireworks stand must've opened somewhere.  I was hearing lots 
of popping in the neighborhood yesterday evening.  (And that's before 
the big clap of thunder!)  We have a couple of dogs that will probably 
be hiding out a lot the next few weeks. 

Our menu for today includes:
          Grilled pork chops
          Mashed potatoes and white gravy
          Pinto beans
          Fresh cabbage
          Turnip greens
          Hot rolls
          Cornbread
And for dessert, have a helping of Poke Cake.

Have a great day at Eastern,

Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

I'm hoping the cloud cover we've got today will keep it from getting too 
very hot, but I'm not holding my breath on that.  It's not officially 
summer until next week, but it's sure been feeling like it for some time 
now.  I bet, hot or not,  there are a lot of fathers out there looking 
forward to Father's Day this Sunday and probably the rodeo Friday and 
Saturday evenings.   I heard Dougo say on Mountaineer Radio that 
there'll even be a rodeo parade on Saturday at 4:00, so get downtown and 
check it out.

Happy Birthday wishes go out today to EOSC's Director of Nursing, Betty 
Wharton, tomorrow to instructor Kathy (Couch) Tackett, and Saturday to 
Assistant Registrar, Teri Overbey.  There ought to be lots of cake 
floating around and celebrations going on within the EOSC family during 
the next few days!  I hope you all have a great time!

For anyone in the McAlester area, or who might be going there tomorrow, 
our Wilburton PAWS, (Partners for Animal Welfare Society), group will be 
having an adoption day at PetSense tomorrow. Get in there and see all 
the wonderful pets just waiting for you to take them home to love!  Or 
maybe dad could use a great sidekick for Father's Day.  You know a dog 
would be much more loved than a tie or a new shirt, and it would love 
him right back.  

Our menu for today features:
          Meatloaf
          Scalloped potatoes
          Carrots
          Navy beans
          Green beans
          Fried squash
          Garlic cheese biscuits
And for dessert, have some luscious Lemon Delight.

Have a great weekend,

Rhoda    8-)

Hi folks,

I hope you all had a great weekend, and were able to find ways to keep 
cool.  If swimming is your answer, be sure and apply plenty of sun 
protection so you don't wind up with that awful sunburn you hate to see 
on other people or feel when it's on you.   I don't even like to get out 
of the house until the sun has almost gone down, or maybe early in the 
morning before it gets hot. 

Here's an invitation to anyone who might wonder what the Latimer County 
Arts Council is all about, or might be interested in joining.  There 
will be a Summer Membership Supper tomorrow evening, Tuesday June 21st, 
at The Gallery at 108 West Main Street, (across from Adelita's), from 
6:00 to 8:00.  A light summer buffet will be served and Michael 
Ginsburg, fiddle/violin player extraordinaire and a friend will be 
performing for your musical enjoyment.  You don't have to join the Arts 
Council to attend, but please come and check us out, and find out more 
about the wonderful programs we have brought to the local schools to 
broaden the cultural horizons of local children, and you may just be 
impressed enough to want to become part of our wonderful organization.  
Hope to see you there!

Our menu for today includes:
          Smoked sausage with roasted potatoes, peppers and onions
          Black eyed peas
          Seasoned rice
          Fried okra
          Hot rolls
And for dessert, have a helping of either Blackberry or Strawberry 
Cobbler.  Yum!!!

Keep cool,

Rhoda   8-)

Hi folks,

Being off yesterday kind of threw me off mentally.  It felt like a 
Friday or Saturday and I was half convinced that I would wake up this 
morning thinking it was a weekend and I didn't have to get up and go to 
work, but I remembered to set the alarm to shock myself awake before I 
got any silly notions about staying in bed and having another day off.  
Darn it.

Even though yesterday was the first official day of summer, it's been 
feeling like it for quite some time now.  My tiny garden has needed 
watering twice a day for weeks, and I've noticed leaves falling off the 
trees already.  That usually doesn't happen much until later in the 
summer after weeks of heat and little to no rain.  There were lots of 
clouds on the horizon last night, and lightning in the distance, but no 
rain for us.  The little creek down the hill that was at one time this 
spring a mere mud puddle, then a raging river, is now back to being 
drier than a mud puddle.  I hope we get some rain before too long to 
help get us through the rest of the summer.  I've been keeping a tub 
full of water right outside my bedroom window for anything needing a 
drink, and my little dogs will go on high alert at night if they hear 
anything outside taking advantage of it.  Hearing them start sniffing, 
growling and woofing to let me know something was out there the other 
night, I picked up the flashlight, crept to the window and flicked it 
on, aimed right at the water tub.  Our local, busy armadillo was getting 
a midnight drink and the light flashing on right in his face so startled 
him that he jumped and landed right in the water tub!  Of course that 
shocked him even further and he immediately jumped right back out and 
took off for somewhere dark and safe, without nosy little dogs and 
bright lights, and I'm still laughing at him!

Our menu for today includes:
            Real fried chicken
            Mashed potatoes and gravy
            Fried squash
            Macaroni and cheese
            Biscuits
And for dessert, have some yummy Banana Pudding.

Keep cool,
Rhoda    :-)

Hi folks,

Well, we've made it through another week, and are creeping up on the 
long 4th of July weekend.  Also, FYI, our Food Service Manager, Mildred 
Whisenhunt will be starting an actual, full, two week vacation next 
week!  It's very rare for her to be able to get away from here for that 
long, (or very long at all), due to the responsibility of running the 
Cafeteria, so she's really looking forward to this time.  The rest of us 
will still be here holding down the fort while she's gone, ready for 
business as usual, and if there are any after hours emergencies, I can 
be reached at 918-448-7494.

Birthdays in the EOSC family for this weekend include:  Ag Instructor, 
Mr. Leland Walker who will be turning one year ornier tomorrow, and one 
of our "Sister Acts", Joyce Bills, our Human Resources director, and 
Karen Clark, our new Registrar, will be celebrating their big days, 
Joyce on Saturday, and Karen on Sunday.  I hope they all have a 
wonderful time.

There will be lots of guests on campus this evening as we host the 
annual Upward Bound Parent's Night Dinner, so please make these special 
guests welcome.

Our menu for today includes:
          Beef stroganoff
          Baked potatoes
          California blend vegetables
          Sweet peas
          Fried okra
          Hot rolls
And for dessert, have some All American Apple Cobbler.

Have a great weekend,
Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

I was very saddened to hear this weekend that we had lost one of our 
EOSC family, with the passing of Diamond (formerly Mills) Taylor, 
Administrative Assistant in Mitchell Hall.  She was always pleasant to 
be around and seemed to have her life heading in a positive direction 
with the recent publication of a book she had written, and plans to 
write and publish more.  She will be sorely missed by all those she 
worked for and with, and even more so by her family and friends.  
According to an email sent out to EOSC by Pres. Smith, viewing will be 
at Waldrop Funeral Home Wed. from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and her 
services will be at Bowers Baptist Church on Thursday morning at 11:00.  
Please keep her family and loved ones in your prayers during this time 
of sadness.

Just a reminder, this week and next, our Food Service Manager, Mildred 
Whisenhunt will be on vacation so if you need anything from the 
Cafeteria, please call my extension, 712, for assistance.  For after 
hours emergencies, I can be reached at 918-448-7494.

Our menu for today includes:
          Hamburger steak
or       Grilled chicken
            Mashed potatoes and gravy
            Green beans
            Carrots
            Zucchini and tomatoes
            Wild rice
            Hot rolls
And for dessert, choose from a variety of Cake.

Have a great day at Eastern,
Rhoda   :-)

Hi folks,

According to the Weather Channel on my computer, it looks like today may 
not be as hot as yesterday, with temperatures only expected to go into 
the low 90's.  That's not exactly a cool front, but it is an 
improvement, and we've got a chance of rain to go along with it, so 
things are looking up today.  I went out to water my tomato plants 
yesterday evening, and as I walked up, it looked like a swarm of 
grasshoppers flew off of them.  Of course the stink bugs stick around 
until I knock them off.  I'm not using any pesticides on my plants, but 
I think I'm going to have to investigate some other options to help 
control all these hungry bugs!  They've definitely got me and my 
tomatoes outnumbered!

It's Day 2 of Mildred's vacation and so far so good.  She hasn't called 
us about anything, (if you don't count the message she left on my phone 
last Friday), and we haven't had to call her for anything.  (I'm hoping 
she caves first, because I do have some questions I need to ask her, but 
absolutely HATE to have to bother her when she's finally getting away 
from this place for a while.)

Our menu for today includes:
          Spaghetti and meat sauce
          Baked potato bar
          Green peas
          Corn on the cob
          Fried squash
          Hot rolls
And for dessert, choose your favorite flavor from among our Assorted Pies.

Keep cool,
Rhoda   8-)

Hi folks,

We got a couple of light showers on campus yesterday, my daughter says 
it POURED at McDonald's where she was working, and we got not a stinking 
drop at my house where I was really hoping it would rain to help revive 
my poor drooping plants and refill my water barrel.  Lately the drip 
from our air conditioner has been supplying more water for watering my 
plants than my water barrel.  I've kind of been conserving the water in 
my barrel, not knowing when we'd get more rain to refill it, and the air 
conditioner drips constantly when it's running, so I keep a 5 gallon 
bucket under it to make use of the water rather than let it run all over 
where it's of no use and evaporate.  Yesterday evening was wonderful 
though.  It was at least 20 degrees cooler than it had been for weeks 
before, and it really felt good to sit outside and enjoy it without 
sweating to death!  I could go for some more of that!

And please remember in this extreme heat, to leave plenty of fresh water 
out for any pets or other animals that may have to stay outside.  With 
temperatures like we've been having, a source of drinking water is a 
MUST, especially if you have to be out in it for any length of time.

Happy Birthday wishes go out today to Mr. Roland Newby, evening 
librarian and receptionist at Eastern's McAlester campus, (as well as 
being a published author).  Cafeteria worker, Sandra Kuykendall, is also 
celebrating her birthday today, and she probably really is celebrating, 
as she's off on vacation this week!

Our menu for today includes:
          Pork loin
          Pork gravy
          Red potatoes
          Broccoli and rice casserole
          Corn
          Black eyed peas
          Hot rolls
And for dessert, have a piece of delicious Cheesecake.

Keep cool,
Rhoda   :-)

Dear Friends,

I have just learned that a local animal rescue group, (not PAWS),  is 
currently having all its dogs confiscated with the intent to destroy 
them due to the conditions they were living in.  If you can adopt or 
foster one or more of these animals, please go to the City Pound, off 
Hwy. 2 South next to Daisy's Paradise Mobile Home Park,  immediately and 
do so.  Dozens of lives are at stake.  To contact the local Animal 
Control Officer for more information, call City Hall at 918-465-1006.  

Please help,
Rhoda

Hi folks,

Well, we've almost made it to the long, HOT 4th of July weekend!  
Personally I think we need to schedule more holidays in the Spring and 
Fall.  It seems like all the good ones fall in times of either extreme 
heat or extreme cold.  Not that I'm complaining about  having a holiday 
now, mind you.  I just wish we'd get a cool front or some more rain. 

Our local PAWS group will have our regular monthly meeting this evening 
at the Latimer County Public Library.  This meeting will be moved up to 
6:00 due to a scheduling conflict.  We encourage anyone who loves dogs, 
and is concerned about the welfare of area homeless pets to attend this 
meeting.  We are always in need of  monetary donations to help get us 
through the summer months when we can't have adoption days due to the 
extreme heat, donations of dog food, people to foster dogs until they 
can be relocated to a permanent home, volunteers to help at our pens, 
and various other things if anyone is interested in helping us in our 
mission to care for and find homes for the homeless dogs in our area. 

Our campus Chief of Police, Mike Nowlin, is sure to have a BIG 
celebration this weekend as he celebrates his birthday on July 3.  He's 
finally catching up to me.

Our Grants Manager, Debbie McIntyre, will have the whole country 
celebrating with her as she celebrates her birthday along with America 
on Mon. July 4th!

Don't forget to attend the great fireworks display on Monday evening, 
July 4th, at Robber's Cave State Park.  Our local fire department always 
puts on a great show to celebrate Independence Day, and there'll be lots 
of people from all around out there enjoyiing the spectacle in the 
beautiful setting of our state park.  

Our menu for today includes:
             Ribs
             Steamed cabbage
             Navy beans
             Macaroni and cheese
             Hot rolls
And for dessert have a piece of Fresh Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

Have a great 4th of July weekend and be safe,
Rhoda   8-)
