Katie and I went out this afternoon to see about an ice cream cake as her birthday is tomorrow. On the way we stopped off at “Codes Country Lanes” to book a lane for tomorrow as they were not answering my phone calls.

Back to the birthday cake, we looked for them in the frozen food section of the store but there were none. I asked one of the workers and he directed me to the bakery section, where they have their own selection of little freezers. Katie picked out a “Cookies & Cream” one, and then we went looking for candles. As she’s turning 16 we looked for “1” and “6”, but they didn’t have any. As a result, we picked up a pack of individual candles so she will have 16 individual candles on her cake this year.
