Well, plans change – often for the better.
In this case, all those cookies are now cupcakes. And beautifully decorated! Below is a sample of the craftsmanship that keeps you coming back for more. These culinary delights will be delivered to seniors over the next while. Sorry, we can’t add any more to the list — you’ll just have to savor the picture of delight!
The last few days I’ve run an additional virus checker on one of my computer. I had heard of some problems on other machines lately, and some of them being friend’s computers. There were a few non-threatening tracking cookies (what a great name — someone needs to do a dissertation on words and their changing image in the computer age). Other than that . . . nothing seems out of place.
So, tonight our youth group is actually doing something with cookies. Tangible, real, able to be baked, cookies! We are preparing for distribution of these cookies to our seniors in our congregation (numbering just over 30 people).
Tonight we will do the baking. We had hoped to get to the baking last week, but circumstances dictated otherwise. Some of the kids showed up looking forward to the baking time! Today we’ll cap our evening with that excitement — baking cookies.
Now, I have to admit, my daughter has some fond memories of baking cookies. I even remember trying my hand at cookie baking with my kids.
I guess there really is something to the “ordinary” things of life providing “extraordinary” experiences! Let’s all get out there and join us “Bakers”!
Well, there are just days when you feel awake, alive and well. And things just jump out at you and hit you. Like the corner of a table, or someone you thought you could get around, or just picking things up — awkwardly.
Yes, that was today. By the end of the day you are watching before, behind and all around. Could make one paranoid. Unless you decide to have selective memory and chose not to remember previous experiences. In which case, there may be greater things to consider!
So, I’m in my pajamas now, ready to end the day and hoping to jump into bed soon. As long as I don’t wipe out on the mattress first!!
The pictures of my knees were taken today. I carefully examined the x-rays and they looked good. The doctor said they were good too. A bit of swelling in the right knee, but hopefully nothing to worry about.
Overall I’m in good shape. While I was there one gentleman had a knee that had been done the second time, and another knee that needed done, a heart condition that needed his sternum reconfigured and his back has had surgery. Another young fellow had the ACL blown out — his sports career was forever gone. And a grandmother with her granddaughter just enjoying the time together.
Nothing better than a doctor’s office to get in an extended visit!
