Signs of Early Dementia

Yesterday morning, during church, Mary Alice tapped me on the shoulder to inform me that I had accidentally left a sponge roller in her hair that morning. Here she is, with her hair beautifully fixed, with a bright yellow roller dangling off of the side of her head!

Today, Mary Alice and I were making rolls and apple pie. I got the idea of putting the rolls in the oven to warm. I turned the oven on at a low temperature, then turned it off, thus creating the perfect environment for my rolls to rise. Unfortunately, when I warmed the oven to bake my apple pies, I forgot that the rolls were still rising inside the oven. I turned the oven to 425 with the rolls still inside!!!! Thankfully, I remembered that the rolls were in the oven just in time. Only the edges of the towels that covered the rolls were singed. The rolls still turned out okay, but they almost didn't!!!


Tonight, while coming home from BUNCO, I turned the wrong way onto a one way street. Headlights were coming toward me....quickly. Not to worry....I thought fast and jumped across the median into the traffic that was going the right way.


Back to that pie I made earlier....This particular pie was made to accompany a dinner for a new mom. I made an identical one (dinner and pie) for our family. When I got home from BUNCO, I asked Josh how dinner was. He said that it was great, but that the pie was a little bit sour. I tasted it. A little bit sour??? That was definitely an understatement! A dinner meant to help out that poor new mom just might make her sick instead! I'm blaming it on the apples. With all that has happened over the past day or so, though, I think it might more likely be some mistake I made.

I hope tomorrow is a better day. I feel like I am losing my mind!!
