Revelation

In my opinion, if you are going to have angel food cake, it cannot be store bought. I am not in any way saying that it has to be made from scratch - although if anyone has a recipe that is from scratch I would love to try it - but the store bought stuff just does not compare to what you get with a little help from Betty Crocker. The only problem I have encountered is that while baking you get a bit of overflow from your pan onto the bottom of your oven. Then it starts to burn, stink up your house, and create a lovely mess that no one has extra time to clean up. That is until now. This time when I was reading directions I noticed some really tiny print that gave some added directions for high altitude baking. I tried it, and guess what? No more overflow! Although the cake was not quite as fluffy either, so if I am honest, I may continue to ignore the tiny print and add to the burnt on mess that is waiting for me on the bottom of my oven.

Puppy Love

Gray has always been a big fan of Dash. I will not say that Dash is as enthusiastic about the relationship, but he 'plays' along when being chased by the vacuum attachment, pulled around by his leash, and getting sprayed down with water from the hose better than I had ever hoped he would; although when he has had enough he can be found lying just out of reach under my bed. That being said, there are moments like these when words are not enough to describe how it makes me feel to see the bond that these two have with each other. Maybe a little like watching the bond between siblings too.

Celebrating

I hope all of you enjoyed your holiday weekend as much as Dash did!

I love you stars and stripes!

There is something so magical about a child, a swing, and a hot summer day...
