Well, actually, if we were staying home today I'd have baked one. A couple weeks ago, grand daughter Meadow and I baked a Red Velvet cake from scratch. Something she told me she wanted to do. It was the absolute best! Anyway, we had a ton of frosting left and I froze it. (seems the recipe had a measurement telling how much to put between the layers, of which there were 4 but she didn't tell me 'till after the fact.) I was at the check-out at the store and saw a box of Red Velvet cake mix. I picked one up since I had the frosting. Hunter reminded me that I still have the cake sitting there to bake. And I would bake it except we are supposed to go out for the day in less than an hour. I will make it when we get home.
We hope to visit a friend in the nursing home. She is like 90 and way cool. I am not quite sure why she is in there other than the fact that she told her kids it was time. This woman is sharper and funnier than I am. And then-wonder of wonders-we are going to Gander Mountain. Yes, a hunting store. Hunter said to see if my daughter would be home and we would stop there and take them out to dinner, not fancy, I am pretty sure she works until 7 tonight and that Meadow also has a group thing at school. It's something they do every Friday night.
Tomorrow. Tomorrow. I will freeze the fresh pecans Hunter brought back from Texas. Best pecans in the world! We usually order them to be delivered before Christmas. And I have a ton of laundry to do. Tomorrow. Procrastinate much?
It's cold. 20's and low 30's and windy. I checked the weather for our up-coming trip and it looks to be an average of about 80 degrees. Can't wait!
Nothing clever or witty or disastrous here so.....
I will just say bye and have a great weekend!
