A couple weeks ago was my first
Grandchild's 19th birthday . My
how time flies, he has now finished
one year college!
His mother, my daughter, ( I did help her),
made him Strawberry Cake cookies,
he loves anything and everything strawberries.
he loves anything and everything strawberries.
They turned out so good!
And
Was so easy to make,
That
I have to share them!
That
I have to share them!
I'll put the recipe at the bottom
of the post.
His cousin, Morgan, is quiet a good
Artist!
Johnathan wanted her to paint him a
picture for his birthday, this is what she painted.
This is what it reads.
"Family is forever no matter how low the valley,
or how impossibly high the mountain may appear,
your family is forever."author unknown
He framed it and put it on his wall in
his bedroom.
My heart fills with joy and my eyes
with tears of how close my children
and grandchildren are. God has richly
blessed me!
Today I'm having Strawberries with
glazed scones and Green Tea,
for my afternoon snack.

years ago by another tea sister, also
whose name is Sylvia.
I love it!
It hangs on my kitchen wall.

So delightful!!! The Strawberry cookies look delicious!...and yes, the mountain/valley painting is so appropriate. Love the lace tea doily...and the teacup, etc. All in all, I'd give it a 100!!! Enjoy your time with your beautiful family. You are truly blessed.

Oh my those cookies look good. I have a recipe for strawberry jello cake that is similar, and we love it! I must say, that table runner is gorgeous, I love how 'old-fashioned' it is, perfect for your pretty tea cup and cookies.
These biscuits sound so easy to make and loo absolutely delicious. A pretty teacup and wall hanging as well.

Good morning dearest Sylvia...oh, I just had to stop by after seeing your delightful strawberry cookies featured on Stephanie's blog:).
I haven't had much time for blog visiting lately, so I am enjoying a lovely catch up this morning!
I think your tea cup is adorable, and what a special painting...how wonderful to have such a close family - I pray as my sisters and I get older, we too will draw closer together!
