I stayed home Wednesday. I was quite domesticated. At least I didn't do any housework. I'd might have to have myself committed.
It was still too cold to walk. I spent the time going through pictures. I have lots that need labelling and editing. Bonnie is sending me photos to edit so I best get caught up on my own.

It would have been even better with double the sugar. But in the end, the cookies just don't seem worth the effort. But I also got rid of some nagging guilt by finally using the cookie press.
