Productive Day

Bernie's Fruitcake has been assembled, baked and marinating in the fridge until time for serving. I love Bernie's fruitcake so when I share with you it is special.
 Here is Bernie's recipe.

In addition to the fruitcake I cleaned out a couple of cupboards...and then of course we did do our two walks in 47 degree weather. It really isn't too bad once you are dressed for it and had a day to get a bit more used to it. Also the bubble wrap for covering the windows has been a help not only with the cold but also the condensation that also goes along with cold weather in an RV.
