Wow, wow, wow!

This is one heck of a wonderful present!

And it came at the perfect time: today we've had hail, winds over 50 mph, and now it's snowing sideways. We're expecting 4-6 inches tonight.

What better night to sit at home, much on some wonderful cookies, sip some tea, and read!

So, sugar cookies are my all time favorite. I figured I'd pull one out just to taste-test. Since opening the package I'm almost finished them!

And those stuffed cookies were made out of pure yum.

The biggest surprise was the mint-chocolate cookies. Oh. My. God. I'm so glad you don't bake around here. I'd weigh a ton.

I haven't opened up the box of Frittle from frittlefactory.com, but I am so looking forward to it. The ingredients make me think that I will love it! :)

I've arranged the abalone on my computer so it feels a bit more like summer here. The picture doesn't do justice to the beautiful colors on them. That iridescent sheen just warms me up.

My only criticism: You said you didn't think your life was interesting! What? Beaches and books and wonderful treats! I think you have just found the best parts! I'm envious.

Thank you so much for the wonderful package. And tonight I'll break out the earl grey and begin 'Grant and Sherman' and think about running on the beach.
