Hard Knocks

When age comes upon us 

as more than a number, 


when our youth has passed, 

our adulting years, 


when we come to the years 

when we were supposed to


become wise we find that 

wisdom is nothing more than 


lessons from 

the School of Hard Knocks


through the years that have 

slipped by and through us. 


“If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches.”

~ Carolyn Kenmore, from Daily Peace,

For Tomorrow and Beyond


 



Soft silence fills my home

as day becomes the night; 

afternoon laughter and caring 

with friends are sweet memories 

for tomorrow and beyond.







“As long as there is friendship, today is beautiful.”

A Delicious Research Project


 

I really wanted to eat a ginger cookie, 

but had none. It was time to put my sourdough starter to work ~


Sourdough Ginger Molasses Cookies

Delicious

Soft 


Now the only problem will be 

my poor self control when it 

comes to cookies, especially of 

the ginger/molasses sort. 

(I may be a distant relative of the Cookie Monster! )


Next project will be

Sourdough biscuits


“C is for cookie that’s good enough for me.”
