In the middle of the afternoon we received a text that there was a package waiting on the porch for us. Could there have been a better gift than chocolate chunk cookies, warm from the oven?Showing no self-control, Ken and I enjoyed a couple of them immediately, before remembering I hadn't yet posted a photo this weekend! Here, to send with my thanks, "Cookies by Kristen!"
What no one knew, was that Ken and I were baking warm, yeasty Pretzel Rolls with plans to deliver them to the neighbors as well!
We don't see much of each other, but it's like living amongst Secret Santas!
How thoughtful you all are to share your lovely treats! When we arrived in our new home Denise the owner popped round later with a delicious cake she had made for us! Such kind people in this world and it makes me happy! Love your display of your gift!
@pamknowler I really do see people pulling together and sharing; if we didn't know before, we're learning how much we need one another! It really doesn't take a lot to give a neighbour a smile with a small, thoughtful offering... You're really staying in the homes of some lovely people!
@jamibann We count ourselves so fortunate to live close by these terrific people! Of 5 of us on a cul-de-sac, 3 are original neighbours & the newcomers over the last five years fit right in...it really is a joy!
Oh YUM, Louise! What great neighbors and sharing of baked goods! It does seem like Christmas in April baking is going on and definitely brings smiles and happiness when stuck at home. I love your vase of flowers too. How did the pretzel rolls turn out? :)
@gardenfolk@joansmor@twalborn@wendytel Thanks for sharing in the fun (if not the actual cookies!) Offering the Pretzel roll for a mid-day snack this morning! @seattlite@ginnys@merrelyn@domenicododaro@rosiekind@pusspup@sangwann@annied@gilbertwood Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a message! If we could *actually* be together, I might just share the milk and cookies... but meanwhile, as I was taking that photo, I was busy making pretzel bread... We may have to begin "Neighbourhood Weight Watchers" if we're not cut free soon!!!
@radiogirl Really REALLY fun!!! @koalagardens *Sweet*, warm and chocolaty, indeed! @allie912 I have a follow-up photo for a laugh... At this time it's fun to be handed fresh ideas for photos and a good reason to enjoy the props again!
