Flowing Through Mountains

It was great to see Kerri today, and I got my puppy fix too.  I love puppies! :)

We’re in Chattanooga now for a few days, and I’m hoping the weather improves tomorrow.  It was very gross and rainy all day today.

Finally done baking…but I never got to the cookies.  Ah well.  There’s always next year.

I ended up making 5 different flavors of bark, and they all are yummy!  Endless number of trays of that stuff were created these past few days.  Plus, 6 loaves of banana bread.  :)

Tomorrow we head to Tennessee.  First, we’re stopping in Pikeville to visit Kerri.  Then, we’re off to Chattanooga to spend Christmas with Will’s family.

Should be fun!!

I had great plan of writing something good tonight…but I’m exhausted and heading to bed.

Another day maybe…

Baking, and baking, and baking…

Day 2 of baking craziness has been mostly a success.  I made 2 more loaves of banana bread, a mint chocolate brittle, and a chocolate/pretzel brittle (to be tested in the morning). 

I did have one failure today as well.  I was trying to make a chocolate/white chocolate swirl brittle…and ruined it.  I didn’t think about how sensitive white chocolate to heat, and I’m pretty sure I over cooked it.  Ah well.

Time to bake!!

It always seems to happen that when the holidays roll around, I get this huge urge to bake a bunch of fun treats.

This year I’m making banana bread, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and a new brittle candy recipe.

I might make some more stuff, but I’m not sure yet…we’ll see what happens.

I don’t normally post more than one picture…but here are a couple more for fun!  :)

The clouds this afternoon were very picturesque. 

Also, interesting note…today I am halfway through my 365 day photo project.  Exciting!

5 more days until vacation time.  I’m looking forward to it so very much!! :)

This has been my life this week.  Working doubles, making money, coming home…exhausted.
