Saturday 12-2 Baking

Baking desserts

We decided to start the day out by going for a walk to Temple Lake Park. We walked the opposite direction then we normally do. This time of year the Corps of Engineers closes the park for day use except for the boat ramp. You can't drive your vehicle in the park but you can walk in the park. When we got to the park we decided walk down to the point where people swim. By walking to the point we walked 3.25 miles. We had a very pleasant walk.

Larry had read in the newspaper that there was a Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair at the Frank Mayborn Center. After our walk we went to the show, it was very small so it didn't take long to walk through. The last time there was an Art Fair at the Frank Mayborn Center it had more paintings, prints and other art works. Today, there wasn't any, the vendor had more of the arts and crafts items. We didn't find anything we needed. On the way home we stopped by the Temple Library to donate some books and we checked out the first season of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

When we got back to the house Larry did a couple of small project before lunch. It's the beginning of the month and Larry puts bleach in the septic system. This time of the year Larry makes sure that the boat battery is fully charged so he connected the battery to the charger. When he finished we had lunch.

Tomorrow, we going to our monthly DBD Dance in Baircliff, it's their holiday dance and they have a potluck. We signed up to bring dessert so I spent the afternoon baking. The other day when we went grocery shopping we picked up a few desserts. One was Krusteaz Cinnamon Roll Mix, they give you a couple different ideas for using the mix. Larry thought it would be nice to have something different so I baked Apple Fritter Rolls and Cinnamon Roll Muffins. I also made Betty Crocker Reese's Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bars. Larry was my guinea pig to make sure they tasted ok. I also tested them. We gave them two thumbs up.

While the desserts were baking we finally got caught up with the GizWiz. We were still behind due to our fall trip.

In the evening we watched YouTube videos. Afterwards we started watching the series we checked out from the library. It's taken from the novel by Alexander McCall Smith. It's a cute series about a lady opening her own detective agency. We had a super day.
