Life just got a bit busy!!
We've been doing some really fun stuff, but the result is that I'm too busy to post about it!!
We've done some art work, been out on several trips, including Beatrix Potter and seeing cows milked and I promise I WILL post some photos and tell more as soon as things calm down a bit.
We're taking a holiday next week and I need to get organised for that and before we go I need to make about 100 cookies to freeze for Father's Day. I'll explain. Every year we make sure to include all the women on Mother's Day. I have both been too far away from my Mum to see her or even talk to her on the phone on Mother's day, and I've known the awful heartache of loosing babies and so being a mum, but not having a baby to show for it because there are all in heaven, and hitting Mother's Day. Mother's Day can be both wonderful and incredibly painful! So we always make a fuss of all the ladies on our church, many who are 'Mother's in Israel', and give flowers to all.
This year, a couple of us ladies decided that perhaps Father's Day too had its heartaches and we would like to bless all the men that day. The question was what to do! So, we decided to bake a lot of cookies and tie them in nice bags to present to them all. The only slight problem came when we booked our holiday over Father's Day (not on purpose) and now it's just one more thing to get done before we go! Another lady will bake too and so everyone will get a mixture of cookies, she'lll just have to defrost mine! To those of you who thrive on baking this may seem like no big deal, but it is to me! Maybe I'll even post photos of my attempts! |
