I spent the day today at my Grandma Janzen's baking traditional Mennonite peppermint cookies with two of my cousins. I have baked with my Grandma before but never with my cousins and never on such a large scale, think upward of 200 cookies. I left with my heart feeling warm and cozy, I am very conscious of time I spend with my Grandparents and this day definitely made the top five list of good memories.
Sometimes we get so caught up in getting stuff done (or not getting anything done) and moments slip away quickly. Today I was reminded that our time is precious and at the end of the day it feels best to use it wisely and with love.
Hope you're all having a great weekend!
I came by half an hour after you left Grandma's to test the results. Those were the best of the best peppermint cookies! Of course you were working with the queen of peppermint cookies. I hope you will make some more soon. Grandpa only gave me 4 to take home. I think he liked them too!
