my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a wonderful day :) This morning, we had a sweet new day, rising and shining :) when i first came into my computer room this morning, it felt chilly cool :) i used my nice blanket that Holly crochetted for me, to keep my shoulders warm :) it was nice, and pleasant, having a cool morning :) i love to wish my family and friends a happy baking friday :) i share your sweet happy baking friday wishes with my family :) thank you angel friends, so very much! :) You all are so nice, and sweet :) The morning was awesome! :)


i got a nice big bowl of goodies for our nature friends, and went outside for my early morning nature walk :) the air is so nice, and refreshingly cool today,and yesterday too :) The nature is so inviting, i love it! :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard, bird sanctuary area for our nature friends :) they love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) i checked in on our plants, they're doing awesome :) we'll be harvesting popcorn cobs soon :) i picked 5 more tomatoes today too, for a total of 40 tomatoes so far this season :) it's our biggest tomatoes growing season we've ever had :) it's awesome :)


i began to gather baking friday supplies, and decorations, and went out into our kitchen, to begin setting up, and decorating our kitchen, for our super fun adventure :) i decorated with a nice theme, our kitchen looked awesome :) i displayed some of our lovely new cards in our kitchen today :) i prepared a nice lunch around mid-day, and went outside to tend our plants :) i gave our plants a nice watering :) i've been seeing lots of butterflies, and bumble bees in our front yard too :) it's awesome :) i enjoyed some nice time here on ds, writing to friends :) my mom and dad went out to shop a bit today, they got some drinks at dunkins, they got me a blueberry iced coffee :) it's so nice of them :) Cheers!!! to family, friends, and to the awesome spirit of summer time :) my niece Alyssa got baking friday supplies for us today :) it's very nice of her :) We're so happy and excited, we love baking friday :)


Jenn brought Mikey and Hunter over, around 2pm :) Jenn went to her dentist appt.i mentioned about 2:30pm, as a good time to begin baking :) Each week, we love to use our nice baking friday supplies, and decorations we've recieved from family and friends over the years :) i wear my apron, and we use our oven mits, kitchen towels, all of our supplies, are a big part of our baking, and cooking each week :) our kitchen was all set, and ready, and we were ready to get the flour flying in the air in the kitchen :) calling all cookie monsters! :) cookie monsters unite!!! :) it's time to bake! bake! bake! :)


We began our super fun adventure! :) Kayla, Hunter, and i were in the kitchen :) We got our picture taken, and then began to prepare the goodies :) i said to Kayla, "pick out the best egg ever" :) She loves to pick out the egg :) Hunter loves to help us bake, he and all of the kids have been learning a lot about baking :) it's so nice, and a great joy, all of the awesome memories being made :) Hunter was helping Kayla and i add the ingredients to the big bowl :) We got some flour flying in the air in the kitchen too, it's a cool baking friday tradition over the years, clapping some flour in the air! hehe! :)


We began to super stir the chocolate chip cookies dough :) baking friday teamwork! :) We were sharing smiles :) my mom, and Mikey came out into the kitchen at times too :) we were having lots of fun baking :) i used butter to grease a baking pan, and we put some cookies onto the pan, and i then put the first batch of cookies into the oven to bake! :) as the cookies were baking, we began to get ready to prepare the cheerios cereal bars :)we made a small pan of them last week, they were so popular, everyone wanted us to make some more :) we got a cooking pot on the stove, with a stick of butter melting in the cooking pot :) We then added the marshmallows into the melted butter, and stirred the marshmallows :) They were melting nicely :)


Once the marshmallows were fully melted, we then poured cheerios into the butter/marshmallows, and stirred :) Kayla used butter to grease a pan, and we poured the cheerios into the pan, and Kayla spread the cheerios evenly, and we put the cheerios bars into the fridge to chill :) the first batch of chocolate chip cookies finished baking, i brought them out of the oven to cool down, and put a 2nd batch of cookies into the oven :) we were all hanging out, i did some cleaning in the kitchen :) my mom and i were talking about the upcoming month of september, and fall season baking :) when Alyssa and the triplets visit tomorrow, they'll be so excited to enjoy some cookies, and cereal bars :)


The 2nd batch of chocolate chip cookies finished baking nicely :) i made a plate full of cookies, and the cheerios cereal bars for Jenn, Mikey, and Hunter to bring home :) the cereal bars and chocolate chip cookies came out great :) Jenn's appt. went well, she arrived back to our home here, around 3:30pm : i thanked Kayla, and Hunter for helping bake:) we had so much fun baking, and cooking today :) We love these awesome times :) we have many more super fun baking friday adventures to look forward too :) a very special shoutout, for family and friends :) Lots of great baking, and cooking this week :) we love hearing about the nice goodies and foods you all bake, and cook :) We're with eachother in spirit, in our kitchens :) i wish we all could gather to have a big baking friday picnic :) Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Cheerios Cereal Bars, dedicated to our wonderful family, friends, and to the awesome spirit of the season :) We love you all, so very very much! :) many great memories made, to always cherish and treasure :) baking friday, we love it!!! :) August 24th, 2018 :) Happy baking friday everyone! :)

Hi Chris...I'm glad you all enjoyed Baking Friday! Can't go wrong with chocolate chips and Cheerios. Congrats on the bumper crop of tomatoes! : ) You obviously have a green thumb. Hope you and Holly enjoy paranormal night! Love and hugs. PS...Would love to see a picture of the blanket Holly crocheted for you, but only if you feel comfortable sharing it.

Hi Chris, the goodies you all made look yummy. Tell Mom I said hello and have a wonderful weekend. You grew a lot of tomatoes this year. I eat a lot of tomatoes since my heart surgery I eat even more. Had to cut out so many foods. Thank you for sharing your special times with us.
