Taken from an e mail : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * I am considered the 'CAKE' expert at work as I remember the favorite cake for each co-worker. For years, I was always asked to bring in the birthday cakes. This one is sooooo easy and everyone loves it. (It became my best friend's favorite). It is a very dense cake and I usually make it in the morning while I'm getting ready for work - that way it is still warm when I arrive. I have actually had people come out of their offices and follow the smell. I consider it a winter cake, but it is good anytime. I keep the ingredients in the cupboard so if I have guest coming I can quickly make a cake. Enjoy! 1 package Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix 1 can Apple Pie Filling 1/4 cup oil 2 eggs Coat bottom of pan with oil, then add the rest to the mix. I use an oblong cake pan, it's really too heavy to stack. You could spray the pan with Pam, and add all the oil to the cake but I've never had any problems with this cake sticking to the pan. (I serve it out of the pan.) The apples make it very moist. Mix all the rest of the ingredients (by hand...no mixer) together pour into pan and bake 350º for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake looks done. Serve warm topped with whipped topping or sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Well, good... that was my intention.. :0) I will keep your friend-daughter in my thoughts today.. I'm sure that everything will be fine. Love ya too.

Folks, it wuz a few years ago that me'n Ol' Tubby Joe Stottlemeyer figgered out a way to get rich. We looked the whole world over and finally found an area that was not tied up already. Folks, we got the exclusive chain saw distributorship for the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It wuz only after we got to thinkin' about it that we decided we should have gone for beachwear. You see, the beach on the Red Sea extends all the wan inland to meet the beach coming from the Persion Gulf. Shoot! We almost had it made.

Some of you may remember Crystal. She is like a daughter to me. She was rushed to the emergency room last nightwith what was thought to be an acute apendicitis. Turned out to be a gallbladder attack and they are operating today. Would you all please say a prayer for her~? kath ~*~*~ Kath ~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~ ~*~ mzmouser@earthlink.net ~*~ ~*~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~ ~*~*~*~

Thank Heavens! That little angel sure is appreciated. Glad it is not any worse Kara. {{{{{{{Kara}}}}}}} Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kara Hosman" <klhlvn@hotmail.com> Well, it finally happened. I have driven the same route to work for the past 18months without any problem. Then Sunday, Mother's day, at 6:00am I hit a dear on my way to work. I have been back past that area twice since and the dear isn't there so it must have ran off after creaming my car. Luckly I was able to drive the car to the nearest town where I called 911 for the police and an ambulance. The hood is buckled up on the pasenger side, the headlight is smashed on that side, the sideview mirror on that side is gone, the windshield is cracked, and both airbags deployed. I am sooooo lucky. Even though my car may end up being totaled, my only injuries are some scrapes and bruises on my right arm, chest and abdomen. These are all from the seatbelt and airbag. I also have some muscle spasms in my left shoulder and neck. I could also have ended up stuck out in the country, with a pretty long walk to the nearest town. Instead, I ended up with an ambulance ride to work (I work at the hospital that they took me to). The ER doctor would not let me work that day, so I just took care of getting my car to the dealership (which was closed) and then waited around till 7:00pm when another nurse got off work, she lives near me and was able to drive me home. I live 45min-1hr from where I work. I told them at work that my guardian angel must have been sitting on my shoulder during the accident. I am not as stiff and sore the last two days the way I was told that I would be. I was given an rx for vicodin in the ER, but so far Motrin has been able to take care of the soreness. Yesterday my rt forearm was purpleing up really nicely, along with the red from the scrapes (very pretty). But now the bruising just looks like I need to wash my arm. I was so blessed in how this all turned out. I could have been hurt much worse than I was. God is good. Kara

Oh my Kara~! You are very fortunate indeed~! <gasp> {{{{{{{{{{{{{Kara}}}}}}}}}}}}} so thankful you weren't seriously injured I mean beyond the painful scrapes and bruises which are bad enough.. When you think about how badly your car was damaged........ You are one lucky/blessed Lady~! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Kara}}}}}}}}}}} <nutherhug> Kath > Well, it finally happened.

Kara: My son hit a deer at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. I don't, for the life of me, see how one small animal could cause so much damage. They do though...they do. Bill Covey Author of Watson Is Where It Wuz http://billcovey.50megs.com
