And that song by Alison Krauss called A Living Prayer is so peaceful and comforting, it's just bring tears to my eyes! Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm going to have to put together a cd (yes I know, I'm behind times) of your songs for my car.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing with me about your friend Dennis. I'm really hoping this passes and that the CFS is something I will get over. I think I fell apart this year. How unfair to have your body do this when there's so much you want to do. I never knew joints could hurt so bad. The Dr. says the pain might be Rheumatoid arthritis or Osteoporosis. <br /><br />Thanks for being such a wonderful friend to me. Oh' I better go "Where have you been" is playing now and the tears are going to really roll.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend. <br />Love you, T:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643279791342765171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-31752626888684938642011-08-05T21:05:47.490-05:002011-08-05T21:05:47.490-05:00Lovely cupcakes, and delicious too!

Besides, you're still growing and learning! Life is a process! We kinda turn into our mothers sometimes as we get older, I am learning ;), (which is a good thing!) You're so sweet to speak of your mother that way! Your post is such a delight and I wish I had one of your cupcakes right now!Linda A.

I found a copy for myself and it is the same copyright year as hers. It is the best cookbook. The only thing mine is missing are all the notations mom has made in hers. If someday she should pass that on to me I hope to pass it along to one of my girls. It has the best tried and true recipes!

My grandma's that's in great condition....and my Mum's.......with no covers left and in sad shape. It's one of my very favorite things and actually have it sitting on my counter in the kitchen. She cooked so many things from that cookbook.... When I bake bread or pies it's still the only cookbook I use. I also have my Mum's handwritten strawberry rhubarb pie recipe... so precious to me... nobody will ever bake one like my Mum... :-)<br /><br />Your cupcakes are totally delightful! They turned out sooo pretty. I'm glad you had a chance to cupcake with friends.... <br /><br />Huggies!!<br /><br />Spence{Bellamere Cottage}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17808685184476519297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-33902526821999950842011-08-04T13:28:30.381-05:002011-08-04T13:28:30.381-05:00Hello sweet Rebecca,
