Wild Weds. 51/52 Elvis is in the HOUSE!

I went back to my archives to find a Christmasy image to share this week because even though I’ve been taking photos this month none are really Christmasy- back in 2010 on my way out of town for a photo shoot a friend and I stopped downtown to catch a little bit of the Christmas Parade and who should strut by? Elvis!
I can’t remember which Christmas song he was singing. I wish I had made some notes.
So, I went to YouTube to see if anyone had posted the parade and caught him crooning this number…well someone did post about him at the Parade! Turns out he’s Rick Torres a popular Elvis impersonator here in the Bay Area and he won the 2010 Holiday Day Parade trophy that year! Man, I love YouTube!
Since Elvis wasn’t singing in that clip so here’s some Top Christmas Songs sung by Elvis to help us keep the spirit of the season Merry and Bright.
From my house to yours, Wishing all of you that celebrate it a Rockin Merry Christmas!

Happy Independence Day!
Copyright ©2016 Deborah M. Zajac. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
I’m spending the day with my family, laughing, eating way too much, and being thankful for all my blessings; the freedom, and liberty we have in this country which was hard won by my/our forefathers. John Adams summed my feeling today when he said, “[L]iberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.”
― John Adams
I wish all my fellow countrymen and women a wonderful day full of fun, great food, and maybe some fireworks shared with those you love! If you’re not celebrating Independence Day today I hope you have a lovely day too!
I made this image a couple of weeks ago at the Rodeo with a Nikon Df & Nikkor 80-200mm lens.

I made an Irish Tea Cake as a nod to the Irish today. We’re all Irish today right? 🙂 So, here’s a slice of Irish Tea Cake,
I’m having Chamomile tea with mine, what would you like?
I used a recipe I found on allrecipes. com It’s delicious and super simple to make. You probably have all the ingredients
in your pantry already!
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time 30 to 40 minutes
Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 10
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract- (I used Madagascar vanilla bean paste.)
1 3/4 all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk ( I used whole milk)
1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar for dusting
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until
fully incorporated; stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too stiff a tablespoon or two of milk may be added. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack, then turn out onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioner’s sugar right before serving.
