Howdy, hi! When our first daughter was little she would always had to have a cracker in each hand. A small child holding a single Cheez-It cracker appears monstrously big in a tiny hand, not to mention adorable. To this day anytime we’re snacking, I might say to DH, “I’ll take two crackers, one for each hand.” The same thought process applies to all foods really. Having potato chips? I’ll take two. How about cookies? I’ll take two. Alright that’s pushing it a bit but I will have two halves. DH is the cookie monster in the family and the first sketch in today’s art collection I drew with him in mind.
It’s interesting a few weeks or so ago while out driving, we were listening to SiriusXM when I noticed an all-girl oldie band called, The Cookies. Have you heard of them? I don’t remember which song we were listening to so I did a quick look and found their first hit song released in 1962, Chains. I found it interesting that song gained popularity after the Beatles covered Chains in 1963. I prefer The Cookies version to those mop-top fellas. 🙂
Last Wednesday I shared this gify I made. Cookie Monster said he was guarding the chocolate chip pecan cookies I made DS for his birthday, but I think otherwise. What do you think?
I’m sure you have a chocolate chip cookie recipe but here’s mine. Pretty much the same, except mine are almost world-famous, at least in my world. LOL
This week’s Thankful Thursday…I’m extremely thankful for our middle child. Tomorrow, she celebrates her 31st birthday. For us it seems like yesterday God gave her to us. The sands of time slipped by much too fast. Not only does time to continue to escape us but we’re separated by many, many miles. I’m thankful for technology and the ease of staying in touch. Life in modern times offers many blessings.
I’m winding things up today with Kat’s Writing Workshop using one of her prompts. I’m going with choose a photo from a previous May and write a poem or post about it. That seems easy enough, so I’ll give this one a try.
Over the years, we’ve taken day trips to Brevard, NC located southwest of Hendersonville. I believe that’s actresss Andie McDowell’s hometown. Brevard is a quaint town. There really isn’t a lot there to the passing eye but it draws a good crowd on during the summers. I suspect it’s because its home to the Brevard Music School one of our nation’s preeminent summer music teaching and performance institutions. We were told once by a local retailer that Steve Martin has a home in the area and has taught at the school. While that’s all fascinating to know, what I really love about the small community is its home to the white squirrel. Yes, it’s a real critter, folks! The city even has a festival to honor these little cuties. We were fortunate to spot several on our visit in 2016.
This little guys was super friendly. At one point, he scurried across the parking lot and I thought for sure he would jump through the window. I made a made panic to raise it before he had the chance. He certainly wasn’t camera shy in the least. I think he was hoping we’d throw him some food scraps. Sorry, that’s not gonna happen! The festival got cancelled this year thank you not Covid-19 but I read the North Carolina governor plans to do away with all pandemic protocol beginning June 1st. Hallelujah, I hope all states do the same!
In honor of my little girl, I’m sharing a TBT tune that was the #1 dance track in America. Here’s Vogue by Madonna!
I’m heading over to Rain’s Garden to browse the gallery of artistry for today’s prompt, “Cookie” to see how others were inspired. Have a doodletastic day! X💋X💋, Cathy
