Three Gifts ~ One Baked, One Stirred, One Eaten ~ Day 7

Another relaxing morning in West Virginia...this morning awakened to snow falling...which now has turned to a slight rain.

This morning's focus is Day 7 of the Joy Dare...one gift baked, one gift stirred, and one gift eaten.  You can geta copy of the daily dares here, if you'd care to join in.

 

1.  One gift baked ~ luscious cinnamon rolls filling the air with the aroma of comfort.

2.  One gift stirred ~ the small air bubbles forming in the wisked pancake batter.

3.  One gift eaten ~ golden silver dollar pancakes with warm syrup on a tray with fresh coffee and milk.

Now this is not part of the three...but probably the best gift mentioned...ready?  It's a secret...just between us...

Edster made all of the above for me... she said as she waddled across the room.

Making Memories

Today was a wonderful day...Sunday morning at Maranatha...then Edster, me, and Noah (my oldest grandson) left there and succumbed to a donut stop at Jubilee's (Hey...it's a holiday weekend, okay?).

Noah had been with us since Saturday and we were going to live in the moment!



I know these look like donuts...but they are really hips in the larva stage.



But we had to stop at Jubilee's...



And Noah had to have chocolate sprinkles...



Once at Mamaw's, he said, "Mamaw, NOW may I please have a donut?"



Obviously, Mamaw said yes...



And he was in heaven...



Savoring each bite...



Your humble correspondent (aka Mamaw) broke down and ate this big old gut log...Edster ate apple fritters.



And then Noah was on #2...



And milk was Noah's drink of choice!



Then it was down to business.  Time to roll up our sleeves and make Acorn Cookies.



Melting the bottom of a plain Hershey's kiss on our pizza stone that had been heated...



And pressing it on top of a mini nutter butter peanut butter cookie...



Like this...



Noah was great at unwrapping the kisses...



He had it down to a science...



Then you do the same with a milk chocolate chip for the other end...



And wallah...(as Kim would say) there you have it...



Over and over again...



Good enough to eat...



Two with a cuppa coffee...MY drink of choice...

Oh...from hearing Pastor Craig preach from Hebrews to Jubilee donuts to time with Noah making memories and an extra day at home with my Edster this weekend....how God's mercies were flowing today!

With gratitude,
