Thankful for good neighbors.
You read about them so often you've got to be wondering if we're serious, but again last night we got together, sat around the fire pit, we made cookies* & brought them out, the men played poker, the ladies talked, and the kids ran around doing what kids do until their bedtimes. It sounds so simple, but we feel very blessed to be able to run to so many people located so close to us if something's wrong, if we're stranded in town and need a ride, if we need half a cup of flour, if we need someone to talk to, and we love to be able to be that last minute babysitter, or pick up their kids from school, or make the goodies they need in an hour, forgot to make & aren't home to do it. It's WONDERFUL.
*About the cookies, it was Janie's recipe - non-dairy (technically vegan actually) - for Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles. What it really tastes like is a spicy molasses cookie - yumm. It was a toss up, though, for liked them and who didn't. (More like who LOVED them and could eat 6, and who could take a few bites and not finish.) It was about half and half with our neighbors. The thing is - you have to like the cookie itself, and you have to enjoy a little spice with it. I thought they were super yummy, and so did Bryan, so if you're interested in Janie's recipe, I can get it to you.
