On one Christmas visit, I woke early to spend time with Dad who habitually got up at 5 am and walked the ranch pastures with a hoe and eye out for cattle trouble. To spend time with Mom I had to stay up past midnight when she usually spent the time hacking educational programs to use at the local school.
On this particular visit, my brother accidentally brought back incorrectly labeled caffeinated espresso beans from the market, instead of de-caf. After three days of minimal sleep, I had very little recollection of the flight home.
Just bring out the cookies and share them – but eat faster than anyone else so you get more if that is what you want.
Mother Nature is confused again. We should be getting daytime temps well below freezing – like near -20C but instead today it is +9C. The ice on the lake is covered in water and slush now so no new ice huts appearing – probably not until next week when the weather goes back to normal. Ah well, there is still enough snow for the world to be white.
My dad and I have traditionally made spritz cookies for the holidays, which we make using a cookie gun. Due to our troubles with the equipment, however, we haven’t made the spritz for a few years—and they’ve now officially become the Cursin’ Cookies. Ha. Good for a laugh each holiday season.

Does private mean eat all the cookies?

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d just go eat the cookies. If I didn’t want to share, then I would have eaten them earlier.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Friday! Have a Happy New Year, all!

Did anyone else ever drink Hershey’s chocolate syrup right out of the can? Please.
