What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living "for, and what is worth dying for?
The answer to each is same.
Only love.” ~Johnny Depp

"A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful,
full of wonder and excitement.
It is our misfortune that for most of us
that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct
for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring,
is dimmed and even lost
before we reach adulthood. : ~Rachel Carson

Kindness is always an act of beauty
Hand made hat from their friends
Being content with what you have, is priceless.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
~Lao Tzu
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.

Elvis Presley cake

Thank you
Elvis Presley had a reputation for loving good southern cooking, like most southern men do. I don't know if this cake got it's name because it was a cake his cook, who he employed for years, made for him or not. Howcver, it does seem like a cake Elvis would have probably liked. Regardless of how it got it's name, it's a dang good cake and so easy! Here is what you will need:
1 box white cake mix (plus the ingredients called for to make it)
1 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
Bake the cake according to the package directions. Remove from oven and poke holes in the top of the cake with a pick or a meat fork works well.
Place the pineapple with it's juice (don't drain) and the 1 cup sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Pour evenly over the cake. Allow to cool.
Beat the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Add the confectioners sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Spread over the top of the cake. You can serve immediately. Refrigerate the leftovers.

Get ready for the biggest and baddest Supermoon of the year on Sunday!
A supermoon happens when a full moon coincides with the time in the moon's orbit when it's closest to Earth. And according to NASA, in comparison to other full moons, supermoons can be up to 14 percent closer and 30 percent brighter.
But this Sunday's is extra special - because the moon will become full during the exact same hour that the moon comes closest to the Earth - so it'll outshine other full moons & supermoons.
So check it out after sunset on Sunday.
If you miss it, there's another supermoon coming up on September 9th.

* The moon will turn full on Sunday at 2:09 p.m. ET. The moon will continue to look bright and full Sunday evening, leading into Monday early morning.
Now that is a FABULOUS quote! A great looking recipe, too.
