I am making cookies for a friend, pecan- etts (little pecan pies). It feels good to be baking. I am trying to find a job, but am not having much luck.

My nephew is in town, due to bad weather. His plane got delayed. So my daughter is having everyone over for dinner. She is a sweetie.

I should have some new pics this week. I haven't been very good about uploading what I have.

I am still training for the walk. I should have walked today but... too many other things got in my way.
