I took it easy today. I decided mid day to make cookies. I enjoy molasses cookies. I like the crispy outer layer and chewy soft inner layer. I have a great recipe.
I also wanted to try cookies using cookie butter. So I looked up a recipe and tried those.
Mid cookie making I asked Avery if she wanted to come over and get some cookies for her and Kendall. Avery came over and we happily baked cookies.
Avery even brought her own Tupperware. She was ready. She went what we call “shopping at Mom’s” where she combs the shelves for things she needs at the apartment. She is not currently nor has ever been a “taker”. She takes what she needs which is never excessive. Today I asked her if she wanted to go “shopping at Mom’s.” Today’s find was black beans. Could she be any cuter.
We chatted for a while and we got onto the subject of if you had 5 minutes to pack your most valuable possessions what would you pack? It was a conversation about how things were nice to have but in the grand scheme of things it is really the people and pets in our lives that make us rich. Avery has found her appreciation for Mema’s expression “giving the gift of time.”
Ethan had his friend over. They also went out to check out some store that sounded like it sold men things. I am glad Ethan got out to get the “stink blown off of him.” (Another great Mema saying) Ha!
Paul was off doing Paul things.
As I was getting ready to book excursions for our Grand Bahama trip, I realized there are two “swimming with the pigs” excursions. One that has raved reviews and the other one that has sub par reviews.
The excursion with rave reviews is 300 miles from where we are staying……ugh! The one close to us is more of someone that lets you come to their pig farm and feed the pigs. It was very disappointing.
I quickly got over it as it just means we have another island to visit. We are looking at a stingray excursion as well as a dolphin encounter. So that should keep things exciting.
But still at stupid mistake! I won’t live this one down.
Tonight I went to bed with another man. This guy is a gentleman. Paul won’t be too jealous when he figures it out.
