Birth of a Baker and the Cookie Takers
My youngest daughter (10 years old) has been bitten by the baking bug. She's been wanting to bake easy cookie recipes all the sudden.
Yesterday, I allowed her to bake some, with the assistance of her older sister.
As soon as these cookies were cooled, they dissappeared. I asked her what she did with them.
"I'm hiding them so they won't eat them all."
Later in the afternoon, I saw her eating one. Then later, another. I asked her, "Did you hide those so you could eat them all?"
"No."
Just about dinner time, she was walking around the house trying to sell them to her sisters for $1.00 a piece. Her brother was at work. I got a giggle out of this.
Her sister's were not paying for cookies, tackled her, and stole them from her.
(giggles)
In the end, everyone did get a few cookies.

Italian Tasting ~ Taco Sauce Recipe ~ Family
Grab a cup of coffee or tea. This blogpost is a bit long.
The morning here today is cool, and so pleasant. Rain is in the forecast. I planted this Morning Glory from seed and it is just now blooming.
The fall weather is bringing in blooms of all colors, including this purple. I cannot tell you
the name of this flower without looking it up. It's been moved from two houses and still growing strong. The hummingbirds, butterflies and bees love these flowers.
The kids wanted another party - Italian. There is no way I can possibly whip up another successful party, with all that food in one night.
