Weekend story......Kindness in the world !!

Hi everyone, 

I just have to share something that happened this weekend.  My spouse and I went out on Saturday night.  OK now that might be a normal thing for some but with 4 kids, we don't do that often.  So, kids were at grandma & grandpa's and we were headed out of town to find a theatre to watch Paranormal Activity 2.  Not every one's choice i know, but we like those kinds of movies.  Anyway, we end up finding a theatre playing that movie and it's a 7:05 show and it's 5ish so we decide to go out for dinner.  Outback is a favorite and we settle in at the bar, order drinks and an appetizer and our dinner.  Shortly after receiving our appetizer, a couple sits down next to us and the gentleman strikes up a conversation about the football game playing at the time.  He's a Michigan fan and us Michigan State fans, the men definitely had things to discuss.  The gentleman's spouse joins him and we really strike up some conversation, discussing our families and jobs, how we met and what we did in our spare time, including my writing.  We covered everything.  This couple was so nice and we wish now we had just simply asked their names, how foolish to let that one detail slip away.  We ate our dinner, delicious by the way, and finished our drinks but the wonderful couple had finished their drinks first and decided it was time for them to be going so we said our goodbyes and they left.  We then placed our credit card on the bar with the bill and the bar tender then tells us, "you're all set, the couple that just left paid your tab."  We were both in shock.  We had never met that couple before that night.  How unbelievably kind was that and how many people are there left in the world that do that sort of thing.  They were the kind of people we really hit it off with and would love to keep in touch, and of course repay the gesture in some way.  I did give the woman my blog address and email so i really do hope i hear from her.  We would love to at least thank them for that most generous gesture. 

Anybody every have something that nice happen to you?

Tuesday's Recipe of the Day

Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

Time continues to get away from me and it drives me crazy :)

Before i lose the whole month and in honor of the season, i am posting a yummy sounding recipe, another that my wonderful mother found!!



Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

Ingredients:
Cake:
1 18 1/4-ounce package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:
1 15-ounce can of pumpkin
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 16-ounce box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg


Directions


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To make the cake, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Pat the mixture into a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Prepare filling:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter and beat together.

Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well.

Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.

Serve with fresh whipped cream.


Thanks Mom, this sounds really good !!

OCTOBER ~ the colorful start of many things to come......

Where in the world does the time go?  October is my favorite month and Autumn is by far my favorite season.  The leaves have been turning in northern Michigan and its just breathtaking.  It's unfortunate that i can't remember where September went.  Before we know it, Winter will be here and I am so not ready for Christmas.  However, i am excited for December as i will be doing an interview with a fantastic author and a great friend, Renee Vincent.  She has graciously scheduled my blog in on her book tour for her newest release,  Mac Liam, Book 2 in her Emerald Isle Trilogy and i couldn't be more thrilled.  Mark your calendars for December 7th and i will send out reminders as we get closer.  Can't wait :)  To find out more about this great author, visit her website; http://www.reneevincent.com/.  You can also find the link on the side bar of my home page under Authors.
