100 Good Cookies
Day 306 of 365 Project11/02/07 Repost from Flickr 365 Project I did during 2007.
(I'm on a diet, so this is the closest I'll get to the real thing for awhile....)
100 Good Cookies
1 C White Sugar
1 C Brown Sugar
1 C Oil
1 C Margarine
1 Egg
¾ t Salt
1 t Baking Soda
1 t Cream of Tartar
1 t Vanilla
1 C Oatmeal
1 C Rice Krispies
3 ½ C White All Purpose Flour
Mix together all the ingredients in order given. Roll into balls about the size of a walnut by hand. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 11 mins, until lightly browned and dough ball is slightly flatten. Cool on rack.
The original recipe, which I don’t remember where I got it from, says to drop them by teaspoon, this method would yield 100 small cookies. By rolling them into a ball the size of a walnut, you will yield about 50 larger cookies; if you want 100 cookies, double the ingredients.
I had a small bag of cashew pieces at home, so I threw them into this batch that I made for the MSU vs. UM office tailgate party we had today.

Welcome to the World!
This is Alyssa Jo, my grand daughter. She arrived at 7:29 am today (02/16/08). She's 8 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long. She has a bushy head of hair. She must have gotten that from her Dad's side of the family....we were all bald!

A Sign...
This photo is part of my 365 Project I did last year and posted on Flickr. You can see the entire project here.
Day 9 of 365 (January 9, 2007)
Feathers mean a lot to Native Americans. Although, I and my children are not full blooded Cherokees, we are very in tune to our heritage and its spirituality.
To us a feather isn’t just something that falls out of a bird, it means much more. To us the feather symbolizes honor, strength, wisdom, power, freedom, trust and more.
In Native American cultures, eagle feathers are given as an honor. The person chosen is selected because they have done a brave deed, such as fighting off a bear or going up against the enemy.
Although this feather is not an eagle feather, I am taking it as a sign, a profound sign...
I found it laying in my front yard, right there, obvious, almost as though someone put it there on purpose. I saw it as soon as I step out of my car...and I was stunned.
My husband and I had just returned from seeing our son off on his second deployment to Iraq. My son is very proud of his Native American heritage and very proud to serve his country, so this is a gift, it is a sign, it is a symbol...and I am displaying it on my wall proudly.
