Welcome to The Psychic Cottage Blog. I hope your day is a blessed one.<\/p>\n<p>I actually wrote this yesterday but hello three blogs in one day not counting the ones I do for another blog was a little much. Time brings out the writer in me.<\/p>\n<p>When Bobby and I were out and I was getting his happy face cake for his birthday I remembered about the most amazing birthday cake in the world from my past. Many moons ago Eaton&#8217;s and Simpsons were connected by a tunnel and you could go underneath the street. My <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychiccottage.com\/blog\/?cat=1507\">Mom<\/a><\/strong> and I would go downtown and we would walk through. There would be these little carts zooming by on their way somewhere. I never quite figured the whole thing out but I remember it was such a special time. I&#8217;m hoping my memory is serving me right and this is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Where I&#8217;m going with this is that Eaton&#8217;s had a bakery and they had the most amazing birthday cake. They even had little ones you could get which I have to tell you I have bought even when\u00a0there wasn&#8217;t a birthday\u00a0in sight. The icing\u00a0tasted so delicious and hardened a bit when it was there for a day after. I have tasted nothing like these cakes ever again. If someone could duplicate this cake or if anyone knows of anywhere that makes cakes like this please let me know.<\/p>\n<p>I remember too the Christmas Windows in Eaton&#8217;s and Simpsons. We would go downtown for the Christmas Parade and look at the windows. What fun.<\/p>\n<p>Simple times really. It must be hard for children now as their lives are so fast. Esther Hicks talks of children\u00a0 coming down\u00a0computer ready as they are conceived in the time of the current energy so I&#8217;m sure a simpler time would make them a little nuts.<\/p>\n<p>What fun to remember these things.<\/p>\n<p>Quote for you:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Memory is a child walking along a seashore.\u00a0 You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things.\u00a0 ~Pierce Harris, Atlanta Journal<\/p>\n<p>Check out Cynthia&#8217;s Blog about this blog <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/cynfulcreationscanada.blogspot.com\/2010\/04\/simpsons-in-good-old-days.html\">here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Until we meet again, Sharon<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychiccottage.com\">The Psychic Cottage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Dear Friends.
