The Roof Cake!

Ok, So here's the story...

Once upon a time there was an 89 year old man who lived out in the middle of Nowhere, VA.  He was a very fit 'ol chap -- having outlived 2 lovely wives.

Well, every fall he enjoys getting up onto the top of his roof and blowing the leaves out of the gutters with the leaf blower.

Well, this past fall, he was up on the roof blowing the leaves, and you'll never guess...  The LADDER FELL FROM THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.  yup.  So the 'ol chap was up on the roof with no one to help him.  Being so clever, he decided to make a lasso out of the extention cord.  He lassoed the ladder and was able to pull it up to the side of the house.  The 'ol chap got down safely!

So, this weekend as he and his family celebrate his 90th!!! Birthday, they thought this an appropriately themed cake.

Enjoy!
