At Moms


Nov 28 2010
Still at mom’s having a good time. Bud and Dan have been scouting and mom and I have been shopping. I can actually say she has worn me out.
Thanksgiving was great. Michele and Jaimee came and there was so much food! They stayed for a few days. Friday morning Jaimee made the best pancakes!
I am a bad sister …. I bought my sister a two way lighted mirror one side was magnified and I taped a picture of myself on that side so when she would turn it she would see a picture of me! I packaged it back in the box and gave it to her when she came to moms. I had waited a whole day until she decided to open it….it was so funny I heard her say “Oh my gosh!” I was laughing so hard it hurt! Ok you had to be there….it was GREAT!

Family Traditions; Chocolate Chip Cookies


Forget homemade pecan, pumpkin and apple pies….bring on my mother’s chocolate chip cookies! My mother has been using her mother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe for as long as I can remember. Through the years I have tried to make them following the same recipe but they never taste the same. I am visiting her in Pennsylvania for thanks giving and we (well I watched) made chocolate chip cookies today. I have such a stomach ache….

 This is why I have a stomach ache!
