It was a perfectly wonderful do nothing day.

I did do some cooking. We had scalloped potatoes and ham for our dinner with broccoli and salad for our noon meal. Then I napped or tried to.

Last night was kind of broken up. Chelsea woke me up at 12:30AM or so and then again at 5:30AM. This time, I fed them and went back to bed until 8AM. I just don't seem to be able to get rested.

I did some wash and baked a cake too. I have somehow or other acquired to many red delicious apples and looked for recipes for them. I found a German Apple Cake recipe and it is to die for.

I will share.
