Dog lovers, cat lover, for all of our furry friend lovers here at Arboretum Apartments,

We know you can’t adopt every animal that needs a home.  You might have the compassion for it but there are lots of other things that you could do to help.  Your local animal shelter is always looking for support and here is how:

1)  Do you have any old blankets?  Donate them. You can gather up all of your old towels or bedding and take them to the animal shelter.  They can use them for baths and bedding for the animals while they wait for their forever homes.

2)  Donations via gifts.  Do you have an anniversary or birthday coming up? Rather than accepting gifts, you could ask that people write checks made out the local ASPCA or shelter in your area.  Their is a  tax-deductible on most donations plus, the karma points you receive are way better than any cheep neck tie, boxed DVD series or candle.

3)  While you socialize start a donation drive. When you go out to hang with your friends or when they com over to the apartments let them know about what you are doing  for the animals in neighborhood.  You don’t have to be a pest just ask if they’d like to contribute with your purpose.  Ensure them that you will do it with their participation or not.  This will give them confidence of your successful venture.

Ask around the office, your church or the here at the property for donations.  Every donation doesn’t have to be money.  Often times people have food that their pets can’t or won’t eat, toys they don’t play with, crates they’ve outgrown and collars that no longer fit.  All of these things can be donated to the local animal shelter.

Preston Animal Hospital is only minutes away and you can get started today.

Ever wonder what a Cary Morning is like?

I’ve been using Google Voice for a few eeks now and I can safely say that I really like it.  I was privileged to have exclusive access before it became public, I think Google likes me but tell anyone.

My phone was down one weekend do to some technical difficulties but thanks to my Google Voice number I never missed a call.  So convenient!

I couldn’t even begin to tell you all of the great features that it has.  But that’s what the video is for.  I will say this though, get your free account today and have a great weekend.

The summer time is one of the most anticipated times of the year. But we all know that with the excitement and fun opportunities to play outside also come the summer heat.

I know you’re tough but the truth is that if you don’t protect yourself properly the consequences could be fatal. Our best advice is to think cool thoughts. In conjunction with that here are a few unique ways to stay cool this summer.

The best thing that you could do is to stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water is critical. You won’t know that you have become dehydrated until you are dehydrated. I’ve also seen people with large shaded hats or umbrella’s. That’s a great idea!

Eat for the season. This bit of advice can help you if you are looking to manage your weight a little more also. If it’s 97 degrees outside you will feel very uncomfortable if you go to a buffet and have a plate of turkey, mac and cheese, dressing, candy yams, greens, a glass of diet coke, a biscuit and some chocolate cake. Use your energy in a better way and eat light. You might consider eating lighter meals more frequently throughout the day. Eat for fuel not to get full.

Take time during the day to just relax. Find some air conditioning and take it in. Breath easy and let your body feel the cool breeze. You can’t take the A/C outside with you but you can bring the cool thoughts along.

If you do all of these things remember this. Don’t engage in conversations about how hot the weather is. You’ll just think it’s hotter and hotter. The way you think about the situation will have a big impact on how you deal with it.

We thought that you would enjoy this video of America The Beautiful song by Ray Charles at the age of 91.  He still sounds great.  This clip was recorded Live At The McCallum Theater.  Great performance enjoy this video and have a splendid holiday weekend.  Happy Fourth of July From us at The Apartments at Arboretum.

The best way to do this is is by following the step by step instructions while you cook. so here are the ingredients you can check to see if you’ve got them already or make time to go to the store and pick them up.

The first thing that you’ll need are Nilla wafers- 24 of them. If you try to use the knock-offs (vanilla wafers) on this one we can’t promise you the same great results.

Next would be an 18-oz package reduced-fat cream cheese. No need to refrigerate, just keep it at room temperature. A 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract is next. 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup pureed beets (canned or steamed) and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder should do the job. Oh yeah, make sure you’ve got a 12-cup mini-muffin tin and some paper liners.

Our fabulous mini red velvet cheesecake cupcakes are almost here. By the way this recipe came from KitchenDaily, they have a bunch of good stuff over there.

Okay, that was a short commercial break and we’re back!
Preheat your oven at 300°F. Line a 12-cup mini-muffin tin with paper liners. Place a Nilla Wafer into each muffin cup.

If you’re on a lap top you can bring it as close to you and your oven as conveniently possible, other wise keep walking back to view the screen…

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth or just go old fashion and use your arm. Add the egg white and the vanilla, and mix well. On low speed, beat in sour cream until just combined. Reserve 1 cup of the batter and set aside for the swirl or simply beat in the beets and cocoa powder for an all-red cheesecake.

Now the is how you get the swirl. For the swirl, fill each muffin cup halfway with the white batter. Spoon a dot of the red batter on top of each, and with the tip of a knife, swirl the red batter in.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges of the cheesecake begin to firm while the center is still soft. Remove cheesecakes from the oven and cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.

You’ve got it! Prepare this dessert with your friends or family and make it a special time. Enjoy, compliments of The Apartments at Arboretum via KitchenDaily
