Saturday morning greetings to you - wherever you are in our beautiful world.
Whooo Hooo I have bought the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child - "Worth Dying For" and can't wait to start it, but I have to finish "Postcard Killers" (James Patterson) first.
Big Football Match again today - Go the Saints!.

Pink Cupcakes recipe today
Ingredients
- 5 cups self-raising flour, sifted
- 2 cups caster sugar
- 375g butter, melted, cooled
- 2 cups milk
- 5 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Icings
- 2 x 500g packets pure icing sugar
- red food colouring
- 2 passionfruit, pulp removed
- 1 orange, rind finely grated, juiced
- sugar flowers to decorate
Preheat oven to 190°C. Line two 12-hole 1/3-cup capacity muffin pans with paper cases.
Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre.
Using a fork, beat butter, milk, egg and vanilla in a jug. Pour into the well. Stir gently with a metal spoon to combine. Two-thirds fill paper cases with mixture. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, swapping trays after 8 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 40 cupcakes.
Make pink icing: Sift 1 1/2 cups icing sugar into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons warm water and 1 drop red food colouring. Mix well. Spread onto 14 cupcakes. Top with flowers. Allow to set.
My inspiration today comes from the girls who are fighting the breast cancer battle - they are amazing.
I have already told you about indulging myself with my new book - big smile here!!!.
Life is good - each day brings me blessings and I learn so much from others and their daily victories. I try to find "challenges" not "problems" along the way and to share even just a smile - makes a difference to people.
Be gentle with yourselves and find joy in the small things.
Love and hugs,

They came.
He pushed them and they flew.
