Orange Dreamsicle Cake
Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 box (15 ¼ oz) white cake mix
1 cup cold milk
½ cup orange juice
½ cup vegetable oil
1 oz French vanilla pudding mix
3 oz orange Jello
4 large eggs
For the Frosting:
8 oz whipped topping
20 oz can crushed pineapples, drained
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded coconut
1½ cups white sugar
½ cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, milk, orange juice, vegetable oil, pudding mix, orange Jello, and eggs. Beat the mixture well until smooth and well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting:
In a medium bowl, mix the drained crushed pineapples, shredded coconut, sugar, sour cream, and whipped topping until well combined. If desired, stir in chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the Cake:
Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate. Spread half of the frosting evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and use the remaining frosting to cover the entire cake smoothly.
Decorate:
Optionally, garnish the cake with additional pecans and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a decorative and flavorful finish.

So true!!😌💗🥰

From Janis Mirynech
“Yesterday I witnessed something that took my breath away. I heard a sound at the window of the cottage. When I looked, a cedar waxwing had hit the window and fallen to the deck. It’s mate stood beside it. It was clear that the fallen bird was dead. I turned away for a moment and when I looked again, it’s mate had hopped over. It lay down beside its partner, their heads touching. It closed its eyes and passed over to Spirit with its mate. The sadness and beauty of the moment was such a privilege to witness. If anyone has ever doubted that animals feel emotion and love, this moment was absolute proof of both. Nature truly has much to teach us.”

Last Minute Appointment -

"If you see me in your garden, give me food and water.
Raw unsalted meat, ground meat, I also eat cat nuggets or canned meat but not with fish. Don’t give me milk cause it gives me stomach issues and I will die of dehydration. I'm naive and as soon as I see milk I drink it!
Don't throw pesticides, don't set traps... I’m definitely a danger to myself.
In the garden I help you, because I feed on all the insects and insects, that attack your vegetables.
If you see me on the street, don't run and kill me.
Help me cross the road safely and find a field or den.
My species is disappearing.
Help me to survive.......
Help and support them, they are our wonderful forest elves

The absolute worst

When people tell me they don’t want to be a foster parent because they are scared, I always think of this night.
This was one of our little foster children’s first night in our home. She had only met us hours earlier. We were complete strangers & she was scared. While we were introducing ourselves, we promised her that she was safe in our home, just as we have done with all our foster children through the years.
When it was time for bed she cried & said that she didn’t want any monsters to get her. We didn’t know her whole story yet, we didn’t know if “monsters” had indeed hurt her at night before. My husband calmed her down, said a goodnight prayer & asked if she needed anything else before bed. She asked him again to promise no monsters would get her if she fell asleep. He promised, & to put her at ease, this is how they slept.
This is a child people are too scared to help?
Foster Care is scary, I would be lying if I said I don’t still get nervous sometimes, but I PROMISE you that it’s worth it! You too can help keep monsters away! You CAN do it.

I can't take him to the beach for a walk because it annoys you and disturbs the vacation... I have no right to rent a house if I have a dog, nor can I take him on public transportation.
However, I can take it to the rubble to find you after an earthquake, in the woods after you got lost in the mountains and had no map or gps; under the snow because you took a detour forbidden off the track; in the water because despite the red flag you have entered the sea, and your life is in danger!
And finally ...
He is just a dog, but he or she will find you. And it will save you!!!
Dedicated to all who DO NOT love dog.

Love is always undifferentiated - it never judges.

Identical 😍😍

My son loves collecting albums to play on the record player, but the cool kids now call it “vinyl” and “turntable” 😂
