This would make Linds super happy. Never one to turn away a good cake, I'm still searching for a Linds photo on an early birthday, bib on, face-planted and fast asleep in a slice of chocolate.



So - on high, all around, wherever she may be -

I hope they're pulling out all the stops to celebrate her up where she is.

Love you Linds.
