In February after the graveside service for mom we ate together with family at mom's house.
Three year old David asked who would make him cookies now.
Mom always tried to have molasses cookies for the great-grands to eat when they came to her house.
She even sent cookies when we flew to NYC to visit Liam and David.
Martin and I got together a box to mail for Liam and David's May birthdays.
I made molasses cookies to include with the lab coats, books, and other treasurers.
The cookies aren't exactly like mom made them but I hope they are a comfort to David.
After I found mom's recipe file and while we are staying safe at home, Emily suggested that we make a family recipe book to share.
I pulled recipes from mom's file, my collection of saved recipes, mom's 1949 Good Housekeeping Cookbook that has had the covered loved off, the Calvary Cookbook, and the Brownsville Baptist Cookbook. I have retyped 9 pages of favorites so far. It is a good activity to work on in spare minutes.
This week I started reading The Enchanted Forest series.
I heard about the books on a teacher's book blog.
Ordered the box of books from Thriftbooks.
The series is for middle grade readers and is a fun read.
The first book was very engaging.
Started the second book last night
and the main character that I really liked has not appeared yet.
Still a good read. I would have loved these books as a middle schooler.
Of course they were not written until I was grown.
If you like magic kingdoms, dragons, humor, and mild suspense, you would like these books.
What are you reading today?
