"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
-Abraham Lincoln-

                   Almond Surprise Cupcakes!

This I found over on "Happier than a Pig in Mud" blog and it looks so scrumpious I had to share with you...where I also learned about a wonderful gadget that I bought called a cupcake corer Now this little tool pushes the cupcake right out and leaves a hole just big enough to fill with your favorite filling!! Yummy...and who doesn't love cupcakes??

Cherries!!!

 This recipe is from Food.com.  I love almond so this has to be the greatest taste .........

Almond Cupcakes


3/4 C butter, room temp
1 1/2 C sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 C flour
1 1/4 C milk
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and extract. Add the rest and beat till smooth.
-Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full, this makes approximately 24 cupcakes.
-Bake approximately 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and springs back when touched.
-Cool completely.
-Then I used my corer, and spooned cherry pie filling into the centers of the cupcakes, two cherries fit in each cupcake!
-Frost as desired.

Love Lights on Glasses and Lori's "B" Day

I bought these cool glasses [can you see me?] at Walgreen's yesterday, or I should say DH bought them for me. :) they are called Foster Grant's Light Specs They work so good and the best part is they were only $24.95 "buy one get one free" so I got two pairs. :) I used them last night and they work so good I feel like I should have had these on all the time. They are feel like you have an "Ott" light on your face. :)



blowing out the candles

 Yesterday we went to my daughter's and celebrated her 40th "B" day...wow makes one feel a little old????? If she's 40 then I must be????? oh my!!! but she is such a beautiful daughter and we had a wonderful day visitng and DD fised her fence for her too... :) Then she made hamburgers and hot dogs with lots of side dishes and we ate and visited ...it was  anice day and the weather was very nice.
