It was 17°when we got up this morning and only warmed up to about 45° today. We drove down to Austin after they measured all our windows so we didn't get to leave until almost noon. We chose to get all the way through Dallas before stopping for lunch and when we arrived in Austin it was rush hour so it was a tense drive to the RV park in downtown Austin. We thought we were going to make it more than 24 hours without an "incident', but no. Only a few blocks from the RV park we didn't notice a low hanging tree limb that scrapped down the side of the RV. It's not a deep scratch and the paint seems OK, but we sure would like to quit having "problems" with the RV.
To relieve that tension, we took a walk towards downtown. We found a Whole Foods Market where I thought we could run in and pick up a couple of things I needed. That short run into the grocery store took about an hour and cost us almost $100! We even had to grab a small bite to eat to tide us over until we could get back to the RV to fix supper. Why we didn't eat at Whole Foods is a mystery.
I decided this evening was a good time to bake Christmas sugar cookies. The cookie dough and icing were made ahead of time. I used a coke can as a rolling pin and I only had a biscuit cutter to make shapes. Its pretty amazing what you can do with a biscuit cutter! This is the first time I've used the convection oven. The cookies turned out ok, just not as crisp as I like my sugar cookies.
