Hi Everyone!! We got back into town Sunday afternoon from our trip to the Southwest. We had a really great trip and loved everything that we did and saw. I can't believe I am over 400 pages behind, so there is absolutely no way I can catch up. Can anyone provide a summary of the last 12 days or so?

Our trip took us to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and back to Las Vegas. Everything was perfect, until I threw my back out on the way home in the Chicago airport. So my back is killing me and it is hard to sit at the computer. I went to the chiropractor today, and it actually was way worse after. I had to call my DH to drive me home it hurt so bad.

Also I have offered to make autograph books for a co-worker who is leaving Sat. for a WDW trip. His daughters are 3 and 1 (celebrating her b-day while there). I hope I can do it in time, with all the catching up I need to do, and with the back problem everything is more difficult.

I will be trying to keep up again... I hate not being able to read all the old posts.

I wish I could say I am glad to be back, but vacation was a lot more fun than coming home to work, housework, back pains etc.

Welcome Back Ellen, sounds like a busy adventure. Glad you had fun, just jump in anywhere and go back and read if you have time. Kate started the Pixie Dust Zone which will be having thread cliff notes for those that get behind. The link is in her signature.

Hi DDA! I have a whole lot of pages to catch up on, but I got the following in an email today and thought I would share, since it is sort of the way the DDA is - touching each other's lives.



With one small gesture you can change a person's life.

For better or for worse.

That story always makes me cry!!

Paul,
What was the final prognosis on your shoulder?

Tendonitis and acute deteioration, I think that means I'm getting OLD...

I go to PT twice a week and get to see a specialist on May 15th

Trust me - there is always bad with good, but with Paul there is more good than bad. Please lets have a lot of the DDA pixie dust - the big lug is up for a great job that I think he wants; we could use all the crossed fingers and toes that we can get!!!

I am only up to page 1725 and have so much to go. Here is what I have to say so far………




Ok I lost the Strawberry Daiquiri Cake recipe. Can I have it again please?

Paula, here is the cake recipe:

Strawberry Daiquiri Cake

Cake:
1 package of Supermoist White Cake Mix
3/4 cup water
1 package (0.14 oz) of strawberry Kool-aid mix (powder)
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
3/4 teaspoon rum extract
1 10 oz carton of frozen sliced strawberries, thawed and undrained.
3 eggs

Lime Frosting:
1 tub vanilla frosting (I like the pourable kind best)
2 teaspoons grated lime peel

1. Heat oven to 350. Grease bottom of 13x9 inch pan or line cupcake pan with liners. (will make 24 cupcakes)
2. In large bowl beat all cake ingredients with electic mixer on low for 30 seconds, then beat on medium speed for an additional 2 minutes scraping the bowl occasionally.
3. For cake cook 30-35 minutes. For cupcakes cook 18-25 minutes. Both are done when toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before icing
4. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons of lime peel into icing and stir. It helps to heat the icing for about 20 seconds in the microwave first, and makes it easier to poor or spoon onto the cake.
5. Top with fresh, sliced strawberries.

Note: I put strawberries on the pieces I serve so the left over ones don't go bad. I also keep leftovers of this cake in the fridge, it keeps a lot better.
