Happy Mothers Sunday, 36 yrs. ago today I was in labor with my Sweet baby James. He was born at 3;15 am tomorrow ...Almost 2 days of labor. I was proud of him then and even prouder now.
He arrived last night just before my Bro passed away. I think he was just waiting until someone from the family was there to help his kids...jamie is magic with kids.
he's at peace now so please don't make a fuss over me.
I have decisions to make but thanks to you all I made the right one and went to see him while he was still alive...I LOVE YOU ALL FOR THAT !!!!

Hi All

Just checked in after being sick for 3 days myself (not a hangover thank god) and I am very very sorry to hear the news Evie.

He will be at peace now, and I know you don't believe he has gone Evie- it was time for him to move on to the next stage, that is all.

I am saying prayers for you and your family.

Simnel cake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Simnel cake
Simnel cake is a light fruit cake, similar to a Christmas cake, covered in marzipan, and eaten at Easter in Great Britain and Ireland. A layer of marzipan or almond paste is also baked into the middle of the cake. On the top of the cake, around the edge, are eleven marzipan balls to represent the true disciples of Jesus; Judas is omitted. In some variations Christ is also represented, by a ball placed at the centre.
The cake is made from these ingredients: white flour, sugar, butter, eggs, fragrant spices, dried fruits, zest and candied peel.
Simnel cakes have been known since mediaeval times, and were originally a Mothering Sunday tradition, when young girls in service would make one to be taken home to their mothers on their day off. The word simnel probably derived from the Latin word simila, meaning fine, wheaten flour with which the cakes were made.
A popular legend attributes the invention of the Simnel cake to Lambert Simnel, although this is undoubtedly false, since the Simnel cake appears in English literature prior to Lambert's escapades.
Different towns had their own recipes and shapes of the Simnel cake. Bury, Devizes and Shrewsbury produced large numbers to their own recipes, but it is the Shrewsbury version that became most popular and well known.
