What I did today.

Early this morning I went over to the Super Mercado - very slow and carefully. Everyone greeted me with smiles, especially when they saw I had my cookie container with me. I brought along almost all the Mounds Balls. They loved them! Now I have to make more. I picked up the ingredients I needed and made a very large batch of Oatmeal Raisin and a batch of Thumbprint cookies. The thumbprint cookies have either chopped nuts or coconut on the outside and strawberry preserves. My recipe I have been using for years has you put the preserves in the center after they are baked. This one has you put it in before you back it. I tried a different butter/shortening and both cookies turned out good. I haven't quite figured out what I am using. This one is white. Could be lard for all I know. Or some kind of margarine. Works good whatever it is. I tried one of each and didn't get sick so it must be safe.

As to my back, it is even a little better today. Still have the soap in my bed. No spasms last night. I was very careful when I turned over. Donna, do not worry, I can sit and I can walk. We are not canceling our road trip.
