Fourth of July Cookies.... and a funny.

Happy Fourth of July Everyone!

This one is for Nky....

I remember when I heard my first gun shot.  

Like real gun shot- not the movies or fake ones.

I was at my first 'real' job in a bad neighborhood.

I heard a 'pop' and I instinctively dove under my desk. 

My boss thought that I was nuts.

No one else even batted an eye at the gun shot. 

Sadly, I too became immune to the sound.

I heard lots of 'pops', 'ratatatats' and 'popopopop' noises while I worked there.  

Sooooooo...

There is no easy way to transition from gun shots to cookies.

Here we go...

I made cookies.  

Not for me.

Rather- for a bake sale at work.

Phew- transition done. 

They have their usual imperfections.  

But, they did make a pretty plate of cookies. 

If I have the energy, I may try to make up another batch before the actual holiday.

Happy Fourth Everyone.  

I hope that there is lots of burgers, fireworks and sweets to fill your weekend!

Smiles,
Marci
