I haven’t baked since last Christmas. I thought, what’s the use. No one here to eat any of it and with me being a diabetic, I knew better to tempt temptation.
Today, it is nearing the big ho-ho-ho day so I thought, what the ____. I will bake some chocolate chip cookies. When they were done I of course sampled one. I was thinking they were too flat.
I thought they tasted sweeter in years gone by. I double-checked my recipe as I went since I am having some issues with forgetting things. Yep, I followed it to a T. Well I did it. They are complete and kitchen cleaned up.
Soon I will be getting a real tree to decorate and then I can stand back and smell the good things in my home, see the pretty tree, and maybe sneak one more chocolate chip cookie.
Who I am 
It is the simplest things that create the biggest memories. 🙂 You will never forget those cookies. And I can smell them from here! 🙂

A big hug to you too Terry! 🙂 I’m about to start baking for the holidays – I’m the only one in my family that is not diabetic or on the verge of being. I try to keep things in check. I send you Light to assist you on your road to health. 🙂

Thank you. I am beginning my baking also. Do you freeze your goodies until Christmas then?

No freezing. I’m keeping everything fresh – giving it away as I go along. 🙂

Oh a good idea. I am going to freeze my items since I don’t have the strength to do it all the last week. Do you think it will be alright? I have never done that before
