My birthday cake with 4 very large cupcakes. As I said above, these were very large cupcakes. The top and bottom are baked seperately. We took the cupcakes on our weekend camping trip. Not sure what D is using to light the candles? Take a look below. Uh, yep, that’s a propane torch. What? Isn’t that what you light your candles with? My new slow cooker. (My other one died.) It has 3 different size crocks to go with it. Yes, it was in use when I took this picture. My birthday gift from D and Munchkin. I’m really hard…

We had a wonderful weekend camping. We rolled into our beach front campsite late on Friday night. We were exhausted and happy to head to bed. We woke up to an absolutely beautiful view.

This was not any easy challenge for me as I don’t care to take pictures of myself, but I decided to bite the bullet and take on the challenge. I chose not to get “all dolled up” for the picture, but instead to just be me… The Beauty of a Woman author unknown The beauty of a woman isn’t the clothes she wears, The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes; Because that’s the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty…
Saturday morning, Munchkin had her final basketball game of the season. The league were holding a mini tournament. If Munchkin’s team won their game, they would play in the finals. Her team went in as the underdogs against an undefeated team. No one expected them to win. They didn’t even expect the game to be close, but everyone was there to cheer them on. The game began. Munchkin’s team came out with high energy and scored the first points of the game. This energized the team. As the game progressed, their confidence was building. The score went back and forth…
