Aldi lemon pound cake

I discovered the joys of shopping at Aldi last year before the pandemic hit. I love that store. There are only one or 2 things they sell that I don't love, one of them being the cream cheese. as you all know, every now and then I'll review different boxed mixes, because even a housewife can't always make from scratch. I love making treats to send to work with Frank for his guys, this time I found lemon pound cake mix, and decided that it would be perfect.... Of course its also a great way to try out stuff to find out how good it is. Obviously I had to taste test it, and it was fantastic. I believe that I would make it for a church gathering, or a family reunion. I was going to share pictures, however I need a new tablet. This thing is refusing to connect to my photos now. I'll be getting a new one in a couple of weeks.

Grief

Things here have been rough. On Thursday August 11th Bella our Walker Hound passed away. She got sick very suddenly. We went to the vet and found she was filling with fluid. Lots of bloodwork, and we scheduled to come back. By the time we got there for her return trip for xrays and further investigation she was rappidly going down. After an X-Ray we found that there was a growth on her heart and survival chances were minimal. We had to make that choice that nobody ever wants to make. The other three dogs are hanging in there. This isn't the first sibling loss for Sam and Jasper. It is for Mishka though. She's still looking for Bella though. Its going to take some time, but we will all be ok. I've been asked if we plan on getting a puppy anytime soon. No, not for a while. A puppy just isnt a good idea right now. We moved in with Frank's mom to help her, and she uses a walker and has bad balance. Then we have Sam, whose autoimmune meds are a bit expensive, and Mishka has young husky energy. I know I've been bad about not posting regularly, and I love posting on here. I plan on trying to share something once a month.
