Happy National Cookie Day! Hope it was yummy for you!
I baked some Sour Cream Sugar Cookies today and was planning to head to Subway to get my free cookie there but never made it.
Just as well, I didn’t need another cookie anyhow. Mine were enough! 😊
Here’s the recipe if any of you might want it.

Lights
Twinkling
Reflecting
Everywhere
Smiles are shared
With strangers on the street
Stores are filled with
Shoppers looking for once a year treats
To share with others generously
There’s just something about Christmas
Etheree

Holding on in faith even though the
Outlook seems grim, we cling to His
Promises, believing and walking in faith
Expectantly waiting without wavering
…for He who has promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23
Advent begins today and the First Week is focusing on HOPE.

Tis the time
Of lights abounding
Shining and
Reflecting
In the world and in hearts of
All everywhere

In the Autumn we mourn
One who left too soon
Lily, November born
Bid us ‘bye neath the moon
Full of joy was Lil’ Lily
Happy baby elephant
Playful and sweet was she
In spirit, confident
Though illness took her away
From us and her family
We honor her today
For her sweet memory
Elegy
I am saddened by this news as I remember when Lily was born and everyone in Portland got the opportunity to vote on a name for her. I voted for the name Lily and was so happy it was chosen for her. It fit her perfectly. She was so sweet, lively, joyful and happy. She would have been 6 years old today 😪
In loving memory of Lily.
Her confident, happy spirit will always be in our hearts 🌹 pic.twitter.com/imPze35rXy— Oregon Zoo (@OregonZoo) November 30, 2018
