Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, I hope you have a fantastic day. My niece from Grand Forks has planned a potluck get together for our families for that day in Moorhead. It seems that we only see extended family at funerals and an occasional wedding, confirmation or graduation. So far as I know, we will have only 2 high school graduations in our family, but my husband and I have three of our grand kids graduating from college this year. Our daughter from Williston and her husband plan to visit this coming weekend so I will test this recipe on them that I found on Facebook. I told one of the granddaughters that I need a tall girl to climb on a ladder and clean the tops of the kitchen cabinets for me with the payoff being Cinnamon Roll Cake. I don’t think she is hungry or does not have any time to spare with finals as I have not yet seen her!
