I imagine your mum to be the type to be a good cook and always have some cookies in a jar for the neighbour-kids right? Kind of nice.

OMG, how did you know? Louisiana cajun and Southern cooking. Also, we used to get the 20lb. bag of sugar. She'd made "teacakes" we called them. They would melt in your mouth. Today, they're called sugar cookies. And with the remainder, she'd make popsicles with popsicles sticks stuck in old-fashioned ice cube trays that pulled up with the handle in the middle. Finally, she'd make preserves and jams. It's a wonder we didn't overdose. But we played outside all day burning off those calories. Enough of that...but those were the days!
Talk to you later.
Now why wasn't I your next door neighbour! I would have been over for treats every day! :)
You know, this is how it used to be back the small country town I grew up in, exactly the same. I miss those simple times.
Yep, me too. Have a good weekend.
My mom too. Long as they lived on the farm, the neighbor kids were welcome-Even when they weren't kids :) The first thing every one of them did was check the cookie jar.
My brother and I both had numerous friends that would stop in to see if we were around-even when they knew we weren't. They'd have a cup of coffee (and cookies) with my mom and move on.
