It has been a great day.
♥♥On my mind♥♥
I’ve been dreading tomorrow for some time. I have normally gotten my mammogram in February, but I was laid low with shingles,then co-vid, but last month the hospital caught up with me and set me up for tomorrow’s appt. with my imagination, Injust dread it every time.m..this time a bit more so because it has been almost 2 years since my last one. Plus this time I’m getting it the actually hospital instead of the satellite women’s center near our home where I usually go.
I will sigh relief when I get a letter that says congratulations all is Normal!

Cinnamon Streusel
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons cold butter cubed small
Pumpkin Cake
- 4 large eggs
- 1⅔ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Glaze
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
Pumpkin Cake
In a large bowl add eggs, sugar, canola oil, and pumpkin. Use a handheld blender, or a stand mixer, to beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir with a wire whisk to break up clumps.
Add half of the dry ingredients into the wet and beat together. Add the other half and mix until combined.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkled the cinnamon streusel over top.
Cook for 30-38 minutes or until center is no longer "jiggly" and looks set. The edges will be golden brown. Let cool on a cooling rack.
Once cooled make the glaze: beat the butter and vanilla extract until soft and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream. Keep adding heavy cream, in 1 tablespoon increments, until desired consistency is reached.
Drizzle over the cake and serve.
If you use 1% or 2% milk you will need less milk as it's thinner than heavy cream. Just start with 1 tablespoon of milk at a time and then add from there until it's the desired consistency. The glaze is much better with heavy cream!Mine was perfect at 35 minutes. You want to make sure the center looks cooked and not jiggly. You could also use a toothpick and make sure it comes out with no wet batter on it.If wanted, sprinkle some pecans over the glaze for a salty bite ♥♥To relax this week, I will::
Practice with my water colors! I love it!
♥♥Something I want to share♥♥
Less than three weeks until I’m wading in the surf!
♥♥On my prayer list♥♥
Our president and Melanie , for their recovery and recovery , regained strength wisdom, courage, clarity , and a definitive win come Election Day
For our government (William Barr) for justice to be applied to the corruption that has plagued our country for some time. Protect him as the indictments become known.
For this coronavirus to stop in its tracks and not spread any more... Lord, protect the elderly and those in compromised health situations. Protect the health providers and the families where the virus is bringing suffering. I pray that this week we will begin to see a great decline in the number of deaths and the numbers o f healed will increase in Jesus name!.
I pray for inner healing in our nation regarding the ongoing problem with racism and it effects in our society. May the rioting stop in the name of Jesus.. I pray that the Antifa group would dry up and disband in Jesus name. I have come to understand that the protesters, are really only wanting to disrupt and destroy our nation.. I speak to the evil one behind this and say, "Stop! in the name of Jesus! You have no dominion here. get out! "
I pray for exponential wisdom and truth to fall upon our media outlets. They seem to exist to keep turmoil riled up instead of bringing clarity to the situation. I pray they seek things of good repute to report on instead of always the bad..I pray they realize that pouring gasoline on a fire is more damaging than letting it go out of its own accord. All of this is for political reasons and yet people's lives have been ruined for that? I pray for people of every nation, color and creed to learn to live amicably together, that love would heal the divisions in our country. I pray the schemes of the devil that instill more and more unrest to stop in the name of Jesus. I pray that the demolishing of our national treasures will stop in Jesus name.. You can not change history through this distruction!
Oh, Lord, evil runs rampant in our nation.. the worst kind..straight from the pit! Oh Father, may your Spirit speak to your Children to pray more, pray specifically! We have government saying child moleststion is ok, we have men and women in high placing practicing it!We have evil men and women roaming our streets looking for unsuspecting people to attack, maim. even kill. Then they have so little respect for life they taunt for their death.. We have abortion running rampant .The respect for life and for your young people , our children, has evaporated all to appease the vile desires of the flesh. Our schools teach obscenities and lies trying to turn the minds of our young people. Oh father, we need You! We see a small outpouring of revival sparking.... may it ignite all over this nation and bring everyone to their knees! In Jesus Name!!!!
Special prayers for Hobert..a n unusual form of cancer that he ahs dealt with for years now and they cannot seem to find a means to bring it into submission. He bleeds through his pores and other symptoms that are just horrible!
The lost in these divers places , that they will realize their need for a Savior and turn to God through Jesus!
For God's mercy to hover over the earth and give people rest and the forbearance to continue to persevere in their trials and testings!
