More Favorites from Mother's Day

You know that old saying:

When Grandma gives you Lemons...

(or life, for that matter)

 ...make Lemonade!

we did.

 I'd never made fresh-squeezed lemonade before, but with a bag full of them, I thought we'd better try it out...and it was amazing!  

The trick, I think, was boiling 1 cup of water, and then dissolving the cup of sugar into the boiling water before adding the lemon juice to it.  Yum!

 Jeff surprised me with a bouquet of Pink Tulips on Saturday night...love it, and especially love that I had a pretty vase sent to me from the D-backs Scouting department that says: "A Mother's Love is Always in Bloom".  Those Dbacks sure treat their moms well!

....and last, but not least, I made these amazing cupcakes:

Salted Caramel Cupcakes (crack)

oh, my, their good...if you have a crush on caramel, like I have a crush on caramel, you better try them out.  You have to inject your homemade salted caramel into the fresh-out-of-the-oven cupcakes before you frost them...sigh. 

want one? come over before I eat them all!
