Afternoon all. Hope your having a great Sunday. The cookie factory opened here in our home at 9:30 this morning. I&#39;ve already made the chip cookies (chocolate, white chocolate and peanut butter), m&amp;m (3 kinds), oatmeal , candy cane , peanut butter and plain refrigerator cookies for my dad. Still have 3 more batches at least, press, sugar and macaroons. The last 2 will definately be tomorrow as I&#39;m reaching the end of my stamina for today. I have no idea how many cookies I&#39;ve baked. So glad the taste tester is here, my son...LOL&#33;  He loves his job&#33;  If I tasted them all I&#39;d be a blimp by Christmas&#33; LOL<br /><br />Sounds like all the Crazies are having bad weather. Please stay safe all&#33; Cold front coming through today and into tonight. Going into the low 40&#39;s here in central Florida. Tomorrow only in the 50&#39;s. <br /><br />Thanks everyone for the kind words for my Daughter. She is one terrific kid&#33;<br /><br />Shari, how wonderful you stopped in. We really miss you around here. Glad your enjoying Isabelle but I bet she tuckers both you and Marc out. Your ornaments in memory of your mom sound wonderful. <br /><br />Cheryl glad Greg got home safely.<br /><br />Jackie, at least you only have 1 more present to get.
