~A COOKIE PHOTO SHOOT"..~

If God was mad at me he must have forgiven me because...
my teeth aren't hurting, Howard is getting better every day, AND....

Saturday, daughter Mary called me and asked if I wasn't too busy, would I come and taste a few of her new cookie recipe's and give her my opinion. She said her son Brock (Alex to us) was coming to do a "photo shoot" for her. She is doing the planning for a little business she is going to open.

Was I too busy to taste fresh baked cookies and give her my opinion? etc.??? I THINK NOT!

So...off I went and when I walked into her home, the smell of fresh baked goodies was enough to make a grown woman weep for joy!

This is the sight that greeted me....


Talk about overwhelming!


Um....so where do you want me to start???

Pure heaven!!
You have GOT to be kidding!!


I need to sit down....pink? Is that pink???


"Just have a seat Mom..." as she rushed by...notice the blurred picture...this girl was on the MOVE!
" I...wait....Sunflower cookies? Canna I have one... " (already I was beginning to have a slight whine in my voice! )
The photography begins. This is Brock Carter, my grandson...and Mary's oldest.
His beautiful wife, Natalia, is helping him while his mother and I look on.....

I don't know if any of you caught the Discovery channel the other night. They did a show called "Pitchmen." It was all about the men who pitch new items and inventions to the public. Grandson Brock Carter is one of the editors of that documentary. I admit to being excited when I saw his name appear in the credits! MY GRANDSON! I was so proud!


This is a wonderful big bread board!



I love the blue...and I am not really a "blue" person...but who could resist those bluebirds...( I should probably taste one....)

And the PINK! These were enough to make an old lady swoon! Yes! I said SWOON!


I DO love this kitchen! Fantastic for baking! Wish I would have had a kitchen like this with the a family of nine to cook for!


Thes are some of my favorite dishes...I have NO idea WHY my daughter won't give them to me.

I mean...I would give them to her! Well...I would!!!!


Notice she likes her silver unpolished. No use talking to her. I've tried. Yep...ah well.

div> I just keep going back to those bluebirdies!!


See the hunks of chocolate in the middle of the cookies...DO YOU SEE IT???






Chocolate cupcakes on green dishes... makes one smile all over the place! I need to chat with her about those green dishes...I probably have something she might trade for.....






LEMON cupcakes. These were SO lemony! I loved them..but only had a tiny one.....honest...



These are the lime cupcakes...and just delicious! (So...do you recognize the green cupcake stand?

Right! (I loaned it to her for Easter Sunday...lol :)

Oh...well...now.....


Close up of those Lime cupcakes...soooo yummy!
*SIGH*

*DOUBLE SIGH!*
What an afternoon! You should have been here!


Just looking...I swear...


This is so tiny...what could it hurt?

I tell you, this was an afternoon to die for! What fun! And..I went home with a load of goodies...

Love you guys!
