A Spring Table Setting and a Cookie Recipe...

Happy Wednesday to you all...

How are you?  I am a bit late in posting today..

This morning was spent with two of my best friends...

Pam and Tammy..

We always enjoy each other's company so much:-)

Bless you sweet friends...

We have had a very busy week so far.. Our church hosted a convention the last few days.. It was such a blessed time..  

Here is a pic of a little tablesetting I put together.. 

Spring...

Spring has finally arrived here although it is still chilly at times.

There are lots of Spring flowers and the leaves are almost out on our Maples..

I love this season... new beginnings...

Terry helped me put a wee lunch on at the meetings and one of the things we served is this old recipe that is popular in our family...

MOLASSES COOKIES..  

I think they went over well as there were only these 2 left.. smile..

Here is the recipe for you...

1/2 cup shortening

I just wanted to mention to you dear faithful readers that the bathroom is still not finished.. We have been running the roads and have not had time to do it.... BUT....
