Yummy Blueberry Muffins

What a gorgeous day we had in MA today!  The comfy temps and the bright sunshine made it a perfect day to visit Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA.  Admission to this outdoor (1830's era) living history museum with original buildings was free courtesy of the Highland Street Foundation.  Today was the last Friday of FREE FUN FRIDAYS 2011 sponsored by this generous foundation.  Families enjoyed their visit and everyone learned while having fun!  What a great place to visit and the large number of visitors all lived in another century for the day!

It has been a day filled with fun!  Tomorrow, we will finish preparing for Irene who will be visiting us in MA on Sunday.  Tomorrow, lawn chairs and planters will be stored and drains cleaned.  Yes, staple foods have already  been purchased and we'll hunker down.

A couple of weeks ago I had baked Yummy Blueberry Muffins.  One batch yields 22 muffins.  Sometimes, there is enough batter for that one extra muffin.  :)  These muffins are delicious and also freeze very well, so some were stored in our freezer for another day.  Sunday will be that day!  Tomorrow the last remaining 6 pack of Yummy Blueberry Muffins will defrosted.  WooHoo!
