Wet Was the Word for Wednesday

…plus a chocolate/raspberry treat

The cold, dampness seemed like the perfect afternoon for a cup of coffee.

One of these raspberry-mousse-filled chocolate cupcakes hadn’t even entered my mind, until I made the fourth of a planned five stops on an afternoon excursion today:

STOP ONE – drop off sample programs at Theda’s house (for Ladies’ Fellowship at church) for proofing.

STOP TWO – pick up TFC items at Faye’s house.  She stitches names and the TFC logo on shirts, jackets, etc. for our staff.

STOP THREE – go to the paper supply store to purchase plastic tablecloth, napkins, and small plastic cups (fruit salad), for the High supper on Friday evening.

STOP FOUR – get crushed pineapple and mayonnaise at the grocery store for Friday’s meal – because I forgot to get those items yesterday.  It was here that coffee and something sweet became a temptation – all because I walked by the store’s bakery and was reminded of the yummy raspberry mousse-filled cupcakes at a nearby restaurant/bakery. 

STOP FIVE – (unplanned stop) yielded to the temptation to buy a cupcake, and saw a piece of maple/pecan baked oatmeal that I knew Cerwin would enjoy for breakfast. 

He came home from West Virginia tonight.  They only saw a few deer, without any good shooting.  However, it sounds like they had lots of fun being together.

STOP SIX – take eleven trays of mail (three chaplains mailings) to the post office.

 

 

These delicacies are so rich and sweet that I can only handle a half at a time. 

I shared the second half with Cerwin after he got home tonight, about 7:30.  It is good to have him here again – for a few days.  He’s leaving on Sunday for another hunting trip – this time with Jere (our son) and Josh (Jere’s son).
