Lovely to see something different other than a butterfly! Cookies are great and warm from the oven, made by grandma! I only need to be young to have as many as I like! Lovely write! Congrats on your top win!

Isn't this the truth. Sometimes I can't even get them to the cooling rack! Can almost smell the heavenly aroma of chocolate cookies in your poem! Congratulations on your winning placement. Take care. Happy baking!

Sounds delicious. For me ... it was always my mom that did all the wonderful cooking, more-so than my grandma.

When you go for walks with your son, explain the birds and bees to him and, "Time is of the essence!". Thanks for laughs! Aloha! Rico
