I just had quite an eventful week. As my mom said, “I’m thankful to have so many wonderful things in my life to be thankful for.”
We celebrated my birthday with a celebratory lunch and a hike through the woods and along the beach.
Then we celebrated Thanksgiving with family, catching up, telling stories, laughing, cooking and eating.
Then we enjoyed my family’s annual Cookie Day, a full day of marathon cookie making. I think we made over 20 varieties this year!
Today, after hosting an early breakfast for the family before they had to hit the road, I took a nap, laid on the couch to finish my book. I can’t remember the last time I had such a lazy day. Now I’m refreshed and ready for a new week filled with creativity.

Cookies!! So glad you had a good week:)
I think I wished you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY but if not here it is. I missed this year of family for Thanksgiving, it was very quiet here with just my husband and myself. Im glad you had a wonderful day-week. The baking looks fantastic. Good job girls.
Hi Terri-
Happy Birthday! Your food looks good and the cookies look extra good!! Hope you had fun on your special day.
Hi Terri! Happy Birthday again! It looks that you had the best celebration on the beach! Your traditional cookie day is so great idea! I’m happy to hear you had so wonderful weekend!

Hello Terri,
Oh your baking day sounds like a lot of fun, You should make a little family recipe book for everyone. You could do the illustrations.
Happy days.
