I slept so little last night that by 8 this evening I was totally wiped out and went to bed. But I woke up about a half hour ago and watched the late news. A lot was on about the tornadoes around Dallas. What a terrible time for them!

Sis went on a bus tour today to Brenham, Tx. They toured the Blue Bell ice cream plant, went to the Washington on the Brazos State Park, a nice restaurant, and more. They left around 7:45 this morning and she didn't get home until after 6 p.m.

After I got home from work this afternoon, I made a loaf of bread in the bread machine. It was a little different. I used 2 1/2 cups of bread flour, 1 cup of yellow cake mix, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 1/4 cups warm water, 2 1/4 teaspoons of bread machine yeast, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup slivered almonds. It raised nicely and tasted good when it was done.
