MORE on...COOKIES !!!

Oh..it's so hard waiting for those wonderful COOKIES to come from the oven...nothing is as delicious as a warm cookie right out of the oven..baked together..with love and laughter !

A COOKIE and A KISS
A house should have a cookie jar..for when it's half past three
And children hurry home from school, as hungry as can be,
There's nothing quite so splendid in filling children up
As warm fluffy cookies and cold milk in a cup.

A house should have a Mother, waiting with a hug..
no matter what her child brings home..a puppy or a bug!
For children only loiter when the bell rings to dismiss,

If no one's home to greet them with a Cookie and a Kiss.
