Beach Finally

After our plans were flooded last week from hurricane Matthew, we finally got down here around noon.

Everything was well with our camper. Its 87 degrees and sunny. There were men working on getting the dunes back that were washed away.

 

Nick prepared for damages and bought new vent covers for the top before we left. He was thinking IF we needed them, the supplys would be hard to find down here with all the damage. He thinks like that. Always expects the unexpected. Not me, I keep an optimistic view on things. But there have been times that im glad he was thinking ahead. 

Since he had to climb on top of the camper to assess any damages, he went ahead and replaced one of the vents that was old. He also did some caulking around the seams as he seen a corner that was needing some attention. Again, thinking ahead.

While he was working on the roof, I got the car unloaded, food put away, sheets on the bed and made a few tomato sandwiches for lunch.

When I was finished, I sat back in the chair and looked across the park. It was rather empty as I gazed across to some newly built houses beside the campground. I thought about how nice it would be to own one of those. Then I noticed just a couple spots over, between me and my view, sat a vintage camper that I would also love to have. Then I thought, what if I was given the choice? That would be a tough one.

 

Now we are trying to stay awake to see the Orionid meteor shower that suppose to happen tonight. How cool that would be to see over the ocean. 

Cream Cheese Pumpkin Squares

I have to admit..."I'm not a big fan of pumpkin flavored foods". But I found this simple recipe that is out of this world....Well, I want go that far, but it is really good. 

I was in one of those moods to make something and I just happen to have all the ingredients to make this.

• 1 box angel food cake mix
• 1 15oz can Pumpkin
• 3/4 Cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 8oz pkg.cream cheese

I sat my cream cheese out for a couple hours while I went on a nice little walk with my husband. It was such a great evening to and I admired the beautiful leaves along the way.

Once the cream cheese was soft, I put it in a bowl and mixed it until creamy. I added a little water to help in this process.

In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Just look at that Angel food cake mix fizz!!!

Add half of the pumpkin mixture In a 9x13 (cooking sprayed) Pyrex and dabble some of the cream cheese on top. Repeat this process in layer with the other half of mixture and top again with cream cheese.

Use a butter knife and cut through and swirl around until you have a nice marble look. Then pop it in the oven for 35 minutes at 375 degree.

Finished! 

Just look at that yummy chunk of cream cheese in the center!

I'm one of those that can't wait to dig into a fresh cooked batch of anything. So I immediately cut into this and ate a piece. I was a little surprised that it was not as sweet as I expected and seemed a little gummy. So I let it set for a while to cool down and later, It was perfect. I cant wait to get another piece later. Its full of flavor and heavenly goodness!
