Last night I took some time to go through my mother's recipes. I found a bread recipe and a cookie recipe that sounded very much like my grandmother's. I got to work this morning making molasses cookies.
I used my pullman pan and it came out pretty good. Next time I will cook it an extra 5 to 6 minutes but it's a keeper. 
There is nothing better on a rainy day to have a full cookie jar. The memories these cookies brought back were warm and wonderful. I miss my grand still after all these years.
I have made a deal with myself for this winter. If I do one hour of housework, I am free to hang out in my little studio with no guilt. (I am the only one who puts pressure on myself). That housewife guilt.
I vacuumed and changed out the curtains for the winter yesterday and besides cooking today I wiped down my cupboards and my yellowware on top of my cupboards. (Boy did they need cleaning).
Every window you look out of you see these beautiful trees. I will miss the beautiful color.
And bread, oatmeal bread...

I tried bone builders again it was a bit better, and they agreed to let me use bigger weights.
A quiet weekend ahead husband is being operated on, on Tuesday.
Enjoy the last of this beautiful fall.

It looks very similar here, beautiful color! But we're also having rain, so the leaves will soon be falling.
I have that same housewife guilt!
The bread and cookies all look good.
