Living life to the fullest

 There was an ice storm here in my neighborhood this weekend. Ever since my accident a few years ago, the one where I totaled my SRX, (see picture below) driving in less than ideal conditions is hard for me.
Especially now that I drive a little Insight. I won't do as well in Bluebell (yes, I name my car...don't you?) as I did in Violet. So, I stayed in the house all weekend. Didn't even go out to get groceries....

 I’m pretty lucky I think. I own my home outright, so I don’t have to worry about a mortgage payment.I do still have to work, at least for another year or two. But, because I own my home, and because my boss approved it, I can work a four day work week...

 I used to blog. A lot. I was part of several baking groups. I love to bake and enjoyed posting pictures of my baked goods. I met other bakers, learned about baking and taking photos, and made some friends.
I was married, living in the country and life was good. Or I thought it was. But, there was a cancer growing and after 26 years, I decided to leave my marriage and try life on my own....

I joined this group just last month, and this is the first post since joining. I am excited to be part of a baking group again. It has been far too long. :)
I chose to bake the Apple Weekend Cake. I am a sucker for anything with apple in it, so it was an easy choice for me....
