Perfect autumn evening...

With a high today of over 70 degrees, it felt more

like summer. But the colors Betrayed the climate...

The warm weather didn't last into this Evening either...

It got down-right Chilly. Not that we minded...

We just Snuggled up under a blanket in our

hammock spot and Watched the leaves fall

And then he said... You know what I feel like? And I said, No,

what do you feel like? Warm chocolate chip cookies, he said

So after a little while I left my Warm spot by the fire pit...

And my Smiling tree...

and Comfy hammock spot...

To go inside and whip up some Ghiradelli chocolate chip cookies!

Some with Walnuts and some without. Because I prefer mine without!

No one minds the Chocolate though!

Then, someone popped in from the Yard and

told me he thinks these Cookies will be too big...

Honestly! Who thinks Chocolate chip cookies can be too

big? More importantly, who says such things Out loud?

Nevertheless, one must Do what she should

to Preserve her own matrimonial harmony

Besides, there's a very special US Army Ranger that's never,

ever complained about my Baking. I'm sure he won't mind if I pack

up some of these, too-Big cookies and send them to him on his...

Very first Veterans day. I miss

you, Moo! Thank you for your service!
