Finally mixed up the cookie dough this afternoon. Even though the recipe said to chill the dough I went ahead and baked one cookie sheet full for I have been wanting a fruit cookie for weeks. I can’t remember ever chilling cookie dough for I was always too eager to have a cookie. Working on [...]
Today was a gorgeous, sunny day but it was somewhat cold. The older I get the less I like cold weather. The Christmas cards were finished last night and I went a couple of minutes early this morning so that I could put them in the boxes before Sunday school. When I got to the [...]

I am certainly catching up on my sleep and rest. I went to bed last night about midnight and did not get up until almost noon today.

Their claim to fame is sandwiches but I just did not want a sandwich so I had broccoli cheese soup and it was delicious. I have heard of the restaurant but unfortunately there are none in Louisiana.
