Cookies in the Mail

My friend Nicole at Life's a Batch http://lifesabatch.com/ choose a word this year, and I believe her word was "Give".

I piggy backed off her word and I have tried to do just that during the past 11 months.

I've tried to give my time and talents this year and these cookies are going to two well deserving recipients...that don't have a clue that they are on their way. 

I sent my husband to the post office after he got off work this morning...he wasn't too pleased to be the 15th person in line waiting to mail something...especially since the post office was closed yesterday.

James' Birthday Tradition

My husband celebrated his birthday on Monday, and I made his traditional birthday dinner and cake. His traditional birthday dinner is meat loaf and his favorite cake is a Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

My 5 year old picked the heart shaped pan, and was all set to help make the cake until he realized that there was some football going on in the back yard and I was left on my own to bake it. All my boys enjoyed the cake (I'm allergic to pineapple so I never eat his birthday cake).

Happy Birthday James!

50 and Fabulous

Any idea what this post is going to be about? I'll give you a hint; it has to do with a special lady who happens to be celebrating her birthday today.

 She happens to be 50, and I wanted to do something special for her, but also for her co-workers. I made up a box of cookies just for her and her family, and a plate of cookies for her co-workers at the Clipper's Mate.

 Happy Birthday Deb!

Enjoy!
