june and gary arrive today!

picture this....
the brits land around 3 today!
i'm so excited to see them.
gary wants to learn more about
"blogging".....so cute!

um, i just realized that in 2 & a half
weeks my sister and i start our
marathon cookie baking!
we've gone as many as 4 days straight!
i usually stay there and just haul
all my pans & stuff there.
gary gets to be a bachelor for the
weekend.
this has become more about
the memories of doing this together
than about the cookies over the years.

channel 5 got wind of it one year (thanks to
my mother-in-law) and they came out to
film us during their morning show.
we stayed up all night to prepare for them.
it took me a week to recover from that one!
God, we have fun. i have to keep reminding
myself of that, cuz things get pretty hectic
and we start to get serious. not this year!
(we say that EVERY year!)....seriously!
we plan to lighten the schedule and back off
of some of the recipes! last year we called
it "the year of FUN!" and it really was.
this is all a labor of love....we bake for 4 days,
and then give it all away to folks that we
do business with and friends and neighbors.
everyone looks forward to it!!
