The Rare and Elusive Cookie

Dear Reader,

First of all, I would like to tell anyone reading, "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!"  I hope you had a wonderful holiday, filled with family and friends and good food.  If you were lacking in any of these areas, remember God loves you and He will not forsake you.  And with this I will tell you about how very THANKFUL I am that God gave me the ability to take pleasure in my senses, particularly my sense of taste.  I love eating, so today was a particularly fun day for me.  I might also mention that I thoroughly enjoy cooking so it was an all-out extravaganza.  I even baked cookies, which is a highly unusual treat around our house.   I may have eaten some of the raw dough as well.  Because, well, there isn't much better than cookie dough in my world.

Peace, love, and cookies,

Caroline

Shiny Sinks

No house cleaning thrills me quite like shining my faucets with a wipe of Windex.  Something about shine in and around the sink just sends me!

Gettin' Pretty

Dear Reader,

It's funny how, as women, we tend to primp and preen and "make ourselves pretty", not only for our beloved man, but for ourselves as well.  I kind of think it's the best thing about being a girl (well, except for that whole baby thing).  If I were a man, I couldn't slather myself with flowery lotions, sweet and heady perfumes, paint my nails a rainbow of colors, use rosy soaps, smell a food and think..."I should mix some essential oils to smell like that!"  I could, I suppose, but...

Another post for another day?  Haha!

This is what it looks like...

Dear Reader,

When I select an image I want to keep in my files, I just take a photo of it being as I don't own a scanner.  Honestly, taking a photo works just as well in my opinion.  I have a great camera and good photo editing software, so it all comes out looking as if I scanned it.  The primary difference I find?  I can be lazy in bed as I flip through the magazine.  Ahh...life's little bits of respite.

Lost in a Book

"The time passed all too swiftly, there seemed to be so many nice things to do, singing and reading and talking, skating and sledding, and doing little homely pleasant things about the house together, catching up for all the years they had not known one another."
