Welcome to my I like Thursday post #27. It isn't that I don't have any likes, it is just I have been working in the yard (a lot) and getting the swimming pool up and going for the summer. So here we go, cause I am burning daylight!
I like charity and volunteer work. Today I will be baking lots of cookies for Relay for Life (one of the reasons I am tardy). I also am the head of charity for my quilt guild, and I work on charity quilts for church also.
I like making cookies for a good cause and others.
Now head over to LeeAnna's at Not Afraid of Color to check out the other I Like Thursday posts.
How generous you are to provide for others in these different ways. Those cookies look yummy.
ReplyDeleteMary keeps me out of trouble. LOL Sometimes.
DeleteI like your Thursday things, too. That snail and those rivers...so cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Which reminds me I forgot to write a comment and check the box. Oh well.
DeleteI can feel the waters in your shots. The powerful rush of water creates some kind of ion that renews us. Water carves out rocks!
ReplyDeleteI think that the clear, wild water does it for me. Not like the rivers around here. Too much human intervention.
DeleteThat's a fun selection of likes. Those cookies look delicious- I remember my mom making cookies with peanut butter cups in them, but I haven't had them in years. So cool that you coordinate all the charity quilts, I have a couple more tops I need to get quilted up to donate, they seem to pile up....
ReplyDeleteOh those cookies were so easy. Peanut butter cookie dough mix, and mini peanut butter cups. I try to keep busy, and doing for others is always easier than doing for yourself.
DeleteBeautiful pictures from your trip, and I love the snail! The people participating in Relay for Life will appreciate your cookies!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am terrible at taking pictures. The snails were so cool, and when I looked up from where that one was, I realized it had a great view of the river. I decided that is where Our tombstone was going to sit. I actually placed my cell phone with the compass app going down in that exact spot. I hope so. I was told to make them, bag them in ziplocs. I have 4 batches of cookie dough in the fridge chilling right now.
DeleteLove the addition of the heart on the quilt! Cookies!!! Yum. Your trip looks like an amazing time.
ReplyDeleteThank you I was trying to figure out how to fix it, and that is the only thing that came to mind. Those cookies are super simple. Peanut butter cookie mix and mini peanut butter cups in those mini muffin pans. My trip was awesome. Haven't been to my ancestral lands in almost 20 years.
DeleteYou are a good dooby to be thinking of others...the cookies look so yummy..mmmm choc + peanut butter...the best! When I go food shopping on saturday (see letter I gmailed you!!) I plan to get those and make some...you are an enabler, gal Hahaha hugs Julierose
ReplyDeleteI decided it is too hot to make those. But I didn't have any pics of my cookies I was making. I made a double batch of chocolate chip/butterscotch oatmeal cookies, a double batch of snickerdoodles, and a double batch of chocolate chips. When you go shopping....peanut butter cookie mix, and mini peanut butter cups. I can't remember all you add but they are yummy.
DeleteHi Colette,
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look super duper good. YUM! I would love to have a few, and I am sure that the Relay folks will enjoy them very much. That is so nice of you to make them. Those rivers look so beautiful and powerful. And snails are so good for the garden, aren't they? Well not all plants I guess. Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne
Thank you. I am busy making cookies still. The rivers I love especially when most of them here are kind of blah looking. I don't know about snails, but those are in the forest, I thought they were pretty.
DeleteI find I have a more personal connection to RFL these days, we always donate a quilt for a raffle to our local one. Those cookies look yummy :)
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of you all day, but I have been making cookies forever. How are you feeling?
Deletelove rivers to, the Smokies has some cool ones. When we were there in our honeymoon room years ago 21 nearly, we had a private porch on the river, and People would get in the river in their clothes , get wet then lather up and dip again.
ReplyDeleteI love rivers, especially beautiful wild ones.
DeleteThe cookies look great. I love the scenery from your trip and that snail is pretty cool.all great things to like and I like your giving heart.
ReplyDeleteAwe thank you. I never remember to take pictures often enough.
DeleteSnails!!! They are so destructive in the garden - no matter how cute they are.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the rivers too.
The snails were in the forest where the family cemetery is, in fact it was right where I decided to put Our tombstone. Perfect view of the river.
DeleteYummmmmmmmmmm and I love the photos. That is a gorgeous snail.
ReplyDeleteI made about 18 dozen cookies today. I am exhausted. I thought it was pretty. It was exactly in the spot in the woods/our family cemetery where I am putting our tombstone.
DeleteMountain rivers are the very best. Coming from Alberta, I know that very well. I peeked at your previous post so I know you were in California! Man I could do with a pool like last week already! We're putting one in this new place, but probably won't be until next year.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Alberta, but BC the rivers and mountains. Oh my. I still don't have the pool finished. Probably tomorrow. A little at a time.
DeleteYou are such a busy gal! Your charity involvement sounds like it keeps you very busy. Good for you to share your goodness! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAwe thank you. Helps me feel like I am paying it forward. Also I had all this baking stuff in my cupboards, and I don't bake with Jeff and the ancient ones gone. So win/win!
DeleteThose cookies look delicious. Tree snails! We used to have lots of them around here but I haven't seen any in years.
ReplyDeleteI thought the snail was awesome, these are in the family cemetery in the mountains. I decided that one marked the spot where our headstone is going to be. I finished over 16 dozen cookies and took them to church for their relay for life booth.
DeleteBless you for your volunteer work! I was involved with Relay for Life for a couple of years and it is a great organization!
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up on blog reading, so, this will cover several blog posts (sorry). Kelli Fannin has written lots of great patterns. I've followed her blog for many years (when she started writing patterns). I could have provided you with several different white on black fabrics (if we were closer). Most of mine are sewing themed.
