Joes Birthday Weekend, Fried Cornbread, Mayonnaise Cake, School Cafeteria Spaghetti

Joe had a wonderful birthday celebrating with good friends and family.
He was blessed to have his good friend. Gary, replace rotted fence posts around our paddock, had dinner with Gary and his wife, Donna, and had a birthday lunch with 2 of his sons and their families. The School Cafeteria Spaghetti was delicious and most everyone went back for seconds. The Mayonnaise Cake was super moist and Joe had 3 pieces before the day was over! Thanks for watching and Keep Walking In The Light in this very dark world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE
On a sunny day in June
He made the family swoon
When everyone came to see
That baby of Malcolm and Gradalee.
He kicked, screamed & cooed
But his mother wasn't fooled
She knew that baby boy
Would bring her so much joy.
She taught him many things
And every day he'd sing
He loved his mountain home
And over the hills he'd roam.
Took his fishin' pole to school
A race track he would rule.
Gradalee wasn't thrilled
When he traded for Ole' Bill.
He'd laugh, tease and play
As he charted life's way.
The army called his number,
He kept night fires without slumber.
As the clock of life kept ticking by
He fathered 3 sons, the apples of his eye.
He married Joanna Lea one day
And made their home in Gray.
Two grandsons now in the family tree,
And he is as happy as he can be.
Today he's a ripe ole 74,
But one things for sure, he's not a bore.
Loves his family and friends
The hearts of all he wins.
His cornbread everyone wants
LaCareta is his favorite jaunt.
So Happy Birthday to my Joe,
I love your sweet heart of gold.
May God's blessings come your way,
As we celebrate you today!
With all my love, Joanna.

New sub here, you had me at Mayo Cake, years ago when I played bingo at a local Samoan church in CA, their dessert specialty was chocolate mayo and tomato cake, sold out so quickly that they limited the pieces bought and I usually bought 4 extra for kiddos at home, glad to be onboard, Aloha from Pahrump Nevada

That was a very nice gathering, and beautiful photos at the end. I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while, I was glad to see this one come up on my feed. Happy belated Birthday, Joe! What a nice home and family you have. Thank you for sharing with us. I loved the poem! Your meal looked so good.

I wish Mr Joe many more years full of energy and good health to do things he likes! I am Gemini also, mine was on Saturday. Lovely recipes, I have never had corn bread like you showed it...fried in bacon grease. I will try as I love so many of your recipes you give to us. I am European married to an American man and I am learning your cuisine. Take care..Regards Jana
