Thank You Cookies for Doctor

Throwback Thursday - Cruise Ship Cookies

Throwback Thursday!  This great set was made last year for the first time, but has been made many, many times since.  I've made them for people to eat during departure (instead of partaking in a celebratory drink), I've made them for people to surprise/tell their kids about their upcoming vacation and I've made them as thank you gifts.  I still love them as much as I did the first time I made them!

Olympic Cookie Countdown!

Today's cookie celebrates the parallel giant slalom, a snowboarding event that involves head-to-head racing.  The parallel giant slalom has been an official olympic event since 2002.  At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, all the snowboarding events are taking place at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park on February 19th and 22nd.

Groundhog Day Cookie - Good News and Bad News

Oh, the news is bad.  This is the worst winter we have experienced in a very long while; a lot of snow, ice, frostquakes and freezing cold temperatures.  Days and days of not leaving the house, children not being allowed outside for recess at school, dogs being kept awake in fear of the loud booms in the night (the frostquakes) and the shovelling just never ends!

And this morning, Wiarton Willie predicted six more weeks of winter!

But the news is also good.  Today we heard the statistic that Wiarton Willie has been right only 37% of the time.  With that lousy track record, we can hope that he is wrong with his horrible prediction.
