Home Baked Goodies






Some longtime friends dropped by the other night with some home-baked goodies.  Isn't that what the season is all about?  It's a great chance to catch up on each other's news too and to know that everyone is well.

This past Thursday we had about 20 cms (7.8 inches) of snow all day.  It was so pretty.  I went for a walk after we shovelled the driveway, we actually shovelled twice.  I met this friendly dog in a pathway and his owner was not far behind.  She was on cross country skis.  She was about my age, at first I perceived her to be older then I realized that is what I look like!  I told her she had a great idea with the skis as I trudged through all the snow.

Looks yummy, I am planning to do some baking today. I know what you mean about meeting that lady, I am always talking about 'elderly' people, who are probably younger than I am! Valerie

Nothing like homemade cookies! I laughed with your comment 'then I realized that is what I look like!'. That happens to me, too :)

Those cookies look great. We are waiting for my sister in law's cookies to arrive by mail. She lives in Boston and is a terrific baker.

I'm glad we haven't had enough snow to shovel yet...and I hope it doesn't happen for a LONG time!

I think it is far better to shovel a couple of times. Easier on the body! How lovely to have friends with the time to visit!

What a nice treat. Those cookies look really nice. I have a friend who bakes for days to make gifts like that. It's a very generous gift.
