Thank you so much Lastel! Click here to see her wonderful blog! I really appreciate this great recipe! My husband and son both loved them. The recipe made about 5 dozen cookies!

For those of you in the ‘know’ Craig called from basic this morning, he sounded great and was headed to Church! It was so wonderful to hear his voice, I asked him how he liked having a uniform he said its ok, nice not to worry about what you’re gonna wear from day to day! I made a statement ‘I bet you look good in that uniform’, (here’s one for you) He said “Yes I do!”. That’s my boy!

Hope you guys have a great week, not sure how much blogging I’ll do, but will post blog candy update tomorrow!

Hugs,
