Altitude Sickness

My cupcakes got altitude sickness. I declare that they did! There really couldn't be another reason because I DO know how to follow a recipe! Mom Strubhar says that with this altitude you've got to cut the baking powder back, and I didn't know it, so I didn't do it. It had to happen on Saturday night when I wanted them for church potluck on Sunday morning, and already past time to be in bed! But I made some carrot cake to take their place on Sunday morning and so we managed. Darren declared it to be superb, so maybe it didn't hurt that the cupcakes flopped. He got something he liked even better.
Here's what what the mess in my oven looked like the first time round....

And here are some more respectable cupcakes, because really, you can't have a birthday with no cake can you? John didn't like the idea that Mommy wasn't having cake for her birthday, so when I got over feeling so sick, we had cake a few days late for my birthday. A little cupcake party just the four of us here at home.

I'm pretty sure that a major part of my feeling so ill, is the infected tooth that I'm supposed to have taken out tomorrow. I just LOVE dentists! (NOT) and I'm so excited about sitting in that comfy chair! My palms are getting sweaty just at the anticipation of that lovely thought! But this too shall pass... I hope some of you will be praying for me tomorrow! :) So long for now.
