Lump and Loaf

This morning we decided we'd go to the city one town over to go to the bank and deposit our checks. Doug's mom gave him a very generous gift. And my mom gave me a birthday check.

When we got to the bank we discovered the "deposit" button on the screen was blanked out. Not sure why except that I haven't yet activated my NEW card for this NEW bank, after being told this card will work perfectly until I activate the new card. 

I haven't yet, because I need to make sure I account for anything out there that is pulling from the "old" debit card, and I have not yet. So. That's on the list of things to do first thing tomorrow. 

I do need to get bloodwork done tomorrow and that destination city is where I go - so IF I get my shit together and check any auto withdrawals on the old bank card, then I can go make the deposit. 

Anyway.

In addition to this failed errand we were planning to take a walk.  Doug figured we should go to Catoctin Furnace to check it all out. We took a leisurely walk, stopping to read all the informative signs about the place. The park is bisected by Rte 15 - straight up the middle. So there was a cool bridge to go over to get to the other side. Toffee was fascinated by the vehicles zooming under us. It was rather amusing. 

Just under a 2 mile loop. It was good to be out, and not cold... yet. 

We drove up through Cunningham Falls State Park, and initially he wanted for us to walk the quarter mile to the falls from the parking lot but it was going to be dark by the time we got back to the car, and that would be no fun. 

A stop for some new apples for baking things, home for football. I went to the market to get stuff for Thanksgiving, and make a quiche. It came out quite good. 

I had a recipe for apple muffins but again - missing things like the fucking muffin tins. So I opted to make an apple bread from the batter. Only I had too much batter... and put some in a square pan in a big plop. 

So we have a lump and a loaf. It wasn't bad, muffins would have come out much better. With a dollp of vanilla ice cream it was mighty fine in the end. 

Short week ahead, and I'm glad for it. Got things to do to get ready for Jess' visit! Can't wait to see them.
