Baking, Visiting and Getting Ready for the Wedding Convoy! Wednesday....

I'm in Fort Worth tonight as I write this journal entry.

It's nearly 9:00 and I am about to go to bed in Nita and Mike's guest room.

I spent the entire morning and early afternoon baking pumpkin things.

This was seriously delicious and I didn't add the whipped topping. 

That would have put it over the top!

Next time!

I'd made this before using a spice cake mix but this time I used the yellow one.

Then I baked three dozen spiced pumpkin muffins for our Wedding Convoy to Arizona.

Poor Louis Dean. 

I have baked quite a bit lately and given it all away.

When I get home, I'm going to have to bake him something special all his own.

It's been pouring down rain all live long day. Soaking heavy rain.

I drove slow and steady all the way to Fort Worth.

The Dump Cake was a big hit with both the staff and the ladies.

That's why I made it in two pans.

I visited with Lillian for a good long time showing her all the funny videos from Kailey and the hockey pictures from all of the them. She laughed and admired every single one.

I showed her pictures of my Santa wall and all the things we've been doing.

The hospice lady was there giving Mother her bath so I went down later to see her and took her some of the cake. She liked it and we had a nice visit. Mother has a new room mate so I introduced myself and visited with her for a few minutes. She says Mother is quiet. I don't  think she remembers when we tell her Mother can't talk. They pretty much keep the curtain pulled between them all the time.

That might help.

It was dark and still raining when I got to Nita's this evening.

I was finally able to give her the birthday present I've been itching to show her.

I just loved this wine picnic basket and had so much fun filling it up with all sorts of things.

They will be going on to Las Vegas after the wedding which is why I will be riding back with Deanie.

I thought this would be perfect for their trip.

I also gave her a wine cooler bag that holds three bottles of her favorite wine.

I think I did good on this gift!

It made me happy to get it all together and gift it and it made Nita happy to receive it!

Win! WIN!!

I went in and took off all my jewelry awhile ago and put it on the bedside table.

I wore this silver bracelet Sabrina gifted me a few years ago.

It has the Serenity Prayer on it.

I love all the things people have given me.

Everything has a memory attached to it.

I think mine and Sabrina's spirits were in touch with one another today because I thought of her as I wore the bracelet and she sent me a text message on my way to Fort Worth.

I got this in the mail before I left today.

I just love this sunflower tray from my friend, DeeDee!

And a big bonus was the box full of packing peanuts that will dissolve in water!

The next time the quads are over I'm going to do a science project with them!

AND - I'm going to mail some to Rayne!!

Bet she will get a big kick out them!!

Okay, I'm heading to bed and I think it's kind of funny that I'm going to be getting up earlier than Sandra - aka the Mad Snapper!!!
