Weekend

This has been a hard last few months.  I had the flu right after Thanksgiving and it came back right after Christmas with a vengeance, I was sick for 3 weeks I just couldn't kick it.  Finally I feel human again it has only been a few weeks and I am still trying to get my house and work back in order.

The big thing I have changed in my life is to give myself permission to take my time.  If it takes me all day to get a few rooms clean who cares??? No one cares no one is here but me and the dogs on week days most of the time.  I love a clean house and I love to cook and decorate but there are days it just doesn't happen.

Now I have had the time and it is back to living and moving.  I have so much research to do on my green house and garden. I want it to be off the grid... so I have to have heat in the winter and I need a shade cloth and fans in the summer.  So if anyone has any great ideas for Oklahoma greenhouse growing please SHARE!!!  I talked to one of the ladies in town who has a green house that she has kept going for years and she was awesome.

I have to get some things made up this weekend for Thomas and myself to have during the week.  I will be letting you know how those go.


I wanted to give you something maybe new to try.  I did this one a few months ago and it was pretty good...we enjoyed it and it just got better the longer we had it.




1 white cake mix
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:
Prepare cake according to instructions on package. Bake in a 9x13 inch pan. Allow to cool. Make holes in cake with fork. Combine pineapple and sugar in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Spoon over cooled cake.

In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add vanilla. Add pecans and mix well. Spread cream cheese frosting over cake.

Enjoy your weekend and I will be back next week hopefully feeling like my old self or maybe I will be a better old self...xxoo everyone...
