If you did not get a cupcake this morning, you are obviously born under a bad sign.   12 cupcakes today because we missed last Sunday with Mary Ellen's Memorial & brunch.  We actually left them home accidentally

Rosemary's Blessing:          

May the God of the dawn awaken you

May the God of sunrise stir you up

May the God of morning bless your work

May the God of noon renew your strength

May the God of sunset bring you home

May the God of dusk soothe your soul

May the God of night bring you rest.
