Smoke Filled Sunset

According to the Washington Post sunsets here in Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia are showing the smoke from the fires in California.

This is last night's sunset.

Here's the article with other sunset photos.

A Lovely Weekend

We had our youngest granddaughter here this past weekend.

16 months old and learning to walk.

She knows right where the toys and the books are.

She likes to play "Hoot Owl" with us.

Looking forward to having the other two granddaughters visit after Christmas along with daughter and son in law.

Baking

It's that time of year when lots of baking happens.

We have a granddaughter here this weekend so I knew that baking would be out of the question.  I baked these two apple pies on Wednesday and delivered them to friends on Thursday.  Dan was the driver for me because of the snow.

I was going to bake another pie today, Saturday, but realized that I better plan to take cookies to the church Thanksgiving potluck instead. 

Baked these oatmeal almond chocolate chip cookies on Wednesday as well.

Next week I'll be making two pumpkin pies to take to the family Thanksgiving gathering on Thursday.

Then it's on to baking cookies for Christmas!

Vexed

... with Blogger.

Now the problem is that I can't see my sidebar unless I sign out of Blogger and sign back in.

What gives?

11/17 - Issue seems to have resolved itself.
