Exceptional




Today was grandma's day. Amelia wanted a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich for lunch. While she was eating I asked "is your sandwich okay" the answer "grandma it's EXCEPTIONAL".

Guess that would make anyone smile, especially a grandma. Then on to cookie time. Thought I would make Nan's - Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies


It made about 3 1/2 dozen. Good with my tea and a glass of milk at night.


Nan, thank you

What a sweetheart your grandaughter is and a big word she used at that.You must be very proud of her!

I have never tried cookies or even heard of using sour cream in chocolate chip cookies. I guess I will have to make these very soon, along with that yummy sounding pumpkin bread.

I want to make that and pumpkin roll for family and close friends for a thank you during Thanksgiving. There is so much to be thankful for and sometimes it takes life's trial to see how good we have it.

Have a great day!
hugs~ Renee

Those cookies look good enough to lift right out of the picture to eat.

The flower pot on your porch is simply beautiful, as is the sweet little girl sitting next to them.

Simple , heartfelt comments from children , unconcerned with etiquette and other things, are things to be treasured and remembered....and for your granddaughter to think and qualify her answer with the word "Exceptional", while she was herself totally immersed in enjoying her yummy sandwich, is ..... well, super exceptional.

Greetings, to you and yours..

Your granddaughter is such a cutie. The cookies look yummy. I am a cookie monster, too. I love the pictures of your Nannie below in Lexington. Is that house still standing? It looks familiar for some reason.

I can't believe we left without trying one of these delicious sounding cookies! ;)

Judy this home is no longer standing. Ugich thank you for the kind comments. Jamie you left too quickly. Now more for me and hopefully I will gain a couple of pounds - know I am the only one wishing that.
