Easy Baking: Bear Claws

Hi Friends!

We had a nice rain yesterday. I was nervous that it was gonna be another huge hail kind thunderstorm, but it wasn’t. I did have to buy a sweater tho at the store as I parked far and didn’t wanna get wet ???? Come to think of it, I should have gotten umbrella instead since the store carry umbrella too, would have been cheaper than the sweater. In my defense, I do have 2 umbrellas in my car, just didn’t think it would rain, raining hard in fact, and that I parked far ? So I didn’t carry in umbrella with me to the store ????

Silly was. I purchased a bag, right. I was given a small plastic bag, so it didn’t cover the bag I purchased. It gotten some wetness. Meh. New bag, wet. I was more thinking of my head, so I was busy puting on the sweater and didn’t really think of the small plastic bag. My new bag ? Maybe I should return it and exchange. I don’t know yet. It was the only one I believe ?????

This morning is lovely, breezy and sunny. Tomorrow supposedly another case. Another rainy day ????

But you know me. It is a recipe sharing, not really about the weather ?
