CUPCAKES MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER

HAPPY for another better day up and around.  Even enjoyed getting out to Walmart (I must be sick!)  Weather has something to do with it.  I'm going to enjoy this next week while I can before the next surgery.     I wish swelling would ease up and give me some relief, but I'm glad to be overall learning to push through the discomfort and pain and feeling better over all.

NOW waiting on pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream icing to be out of the oven.  Love baking with my Sami!  We're trying a recipe we made up for Fall, will pass it on if they turn out as good as we're hoping.

Looking forward to church tomorrow and enjoying the love and kind faces of my Christian brothers and sisters.  Everyone has been so undergirding and supportive.  Then to Beef's to celebrate my brother-in-law's 60th B'day where I know they'll be tons of laughs and story telling with my family.  God is good!

OK...the cupcakes came out of the oven and were delicious!  I'm adding the recipe w/ a picture on the right side of the this blog page.  Enjoy!
