Where did the weekend go?

It flew by~ Work.. garden.. birthday party..
and a bit of cooking..
6 week muffins..that we now always have on hand but with addded flaxseed and wheat bran and plumped raisins..I like them with my coffee and so does J..
I also made my daughter's Oatmeal cookies.. kinda like the CCSC cake..everyone has a recipe..I have..(many;))..but you know how good something tastes when someone else makes them for you?The taste just stuck to me..
You just have to make them yourself:)


Lots of raisins again:)

We have a stocked cookie pantry..my dear neighbour decided to bake yesterday afternoon..it was cloudy and raining.. she brought us chocolate chip cookies.. so we are set here for a few days~~
