I hope you have a great October! Halloween is coming up and I have to get my candy corn!
So many people hate it, but I just love it.
September has been crazy for me. Things were so busy. I only got to page 5 of a 20 page edit from one of my critique groups for the writing project that’s taken up most of my time.
Thankfully, I can go onto the next project and begin those submissions to two different critique groups.
I have to read a submission from one of those groups and all the others from the other two.
Then I have to read for a writing contest.
Whew!
Am I busy, or am I busy?
But I can’t let normal life escape me. I have to get back into cooking and exercising. How good it feels!
I’m experimenting with a cookie recipe. I found cream cheese chips in the supermarket. I decided I’d make a very small batch of cookies, using 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup each of white and brown sugars, 1 teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda, and egg, a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a bit of cinnamon, 1 cup of chips, and 2 cups of flour.
I put them into the oven at 350 degrees, for about fifteen minutes.
In the midst of this, I want to commemorate my mom, who died over three years ago this year.
This is her third birthday in heaven. I’m thankful for the blessing she was in being my mom.
So much of what I’m able to do today, it was through her hard work and support.
Thank you, Mom, and Happy third birthday in heaven.
Love you!
