BUTTERSCOTCH CAKE (AGES HOMECOMING) 2010

At one of our church's homecoming today one of my daughter's friends mom made this so very, very, very good cake. You hardly ever find a new cake recipe any more. I put one on last night for a german nut cake that is new to me. But this cake is one of the best I have ate  in a long, long time. You can not be on a diet eating this as you will want to eat the whole pan. lol.
 She was so gracious to give me the recipe and here it is. The puddings are the ones that are already made up in the little cups that come 4 to a pack around 1.00 at Walmart. Not the ones in the coolers but the ones on the shelf. I think they are made by jello or great value.

Butterscotch Cake

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
4 Cups of Butterscotch Pudding(made up in cups)
1 Cup Butterscotch Chips
1 Cup Chopped Pecans

Make up the cake mix but leave out the oil. Mix good. Then add the small cups of pudding. Mix good again. Spray a 13 x 9 pan. Pour mixture into the pan and then sprinkle the butterscotch chips all over the top  and then add the nuts and pat down with hands. Bake according to directions or around 30 minutes on 350.

TODAY IS A SAD DAY FOR ME

After returning home today from one of our church homecomings I pull up in the drive and noticed my mother-in-laws dog lieing out front on the road. I told my husband that she looked like she was dead. He went and checked and she was dead. We don't know what happened to her as she was alive when we left.
She was my best friend. Every step I made outside she was there beside me. If I went to the garden she was there. If I walked out on the porch she was waitng for me to come down the steps. If I walked down the road she was there.  I could always talk to her and she would be there waging her tail  just like she understood every word I said. I always made sure she was feed as my mother-in-law is very sick and sometimes could not feed her.
It is just like one of your children dieing. I have cried and cried. But she was getting old and maybe she just got to hot as it was around 100 here today and just died. With this heat make sure the animals all have some where to get out of the sun. I was at town the other day and someone had their dog in the suv with the windows just cracked a little. It was so hot and I know it had to be so hot. Now is not the time to take a dog or cat with you in the car unless the air is going to stay on all the time. It is just to hot.
I will sure miss you Skip because you were the best friend I have ever had. You never said a mean word to me nor did you ever hurt me in any way because you could not speak but you were always watching out for me and I love you so so much. RIP, Skip. I love you..........
