Cupcake

Last night we were watching Mike Judge on TV in anticipation of Beavis and Butthead returning tomorrow night when the doorbell rang. In walked our son and grandson with a 6 pack of cupcakes. They had just gone out to eat and stopped off at the local cupcake shop for some dessert- and they always think of us! Of course, they would be joining us in devouring these delicious foodstuffs. I don't quite understand all the hullabaloo about cupcakes. And they were $20.00 for six of them, and weighed a ton. There are shops everywhere- one in Georgetown, 2 new ones on 8th street Barracks Row, and a cupcake truck that circles the neighborhood. Regardless of what it is, we appreciate the thought. But we did send at least one back home to Mom- so she would not feel left out. Now that is a really good reason to live close by! We certainly would not have these little perks if we still lived in Wisconsin.

CURBSIDE CUPCAKES

A few weeks back, we saw the famous cupcake place in Georgetown. Last week we saw the Big Cheese Truck parked along First Street. Today was another cupcake truck parked for curbside service. It attracts customers like flies to honey. When I was walking home after work, a "Tasty Kabob" truck was rolling by. I don't think we will ever try one of them, but the colorful vehicles are constantly circulating around the neighborhood. Someone obviously is trying them, time and time again. I was told the going price for a cupcake was$3.00. How does that sound to you?

BIRTHDAYS AND CUPCAKES

We had a birthday party to go to in Georgetown this afternoon. One of my family member's hit a major milestone. The nice thing about it was all three siblings got together, along with spouses. After dinner we took a walk to the River, and then around Georgetown proper. On the corner along M street was the Georgetown cupcakes place, with a line of eager cupcake lovers cascading several blocks. We crossed the street and noticed a stretch limo and a lot of cameras. Not sure who was there, but Bill Maher passed us by on the way to where the commotion was. Interestingly enough, this is the same area that we just had lunch in after the DMV license renewal episode last week. Maybe an Oscar party? We were never able to get together in the cold country up north, so being together today was another good reason to move here. But of course, the day could not go by without some headache- we picked up a metal piece in the left rear tire. It will probably be flat by the morning.

A great evening for a stroll...we stumbled across the cupacke place

Not sure what the fuss is about....
