A year ago, we attended a silent auction at our church. Naturally, my youngest son Nate, who knows me all too well, led me to a large bin of homemade cookies on the auction block. A boy after my own heart! I quickly allowed him to bid on the rights to those cookies. Time after time he would check the status of the bidding of those cookies and report back to me, where my reply was always, “Ok, you can bid higher.” With Nate by my side and my desire for the cookies, the results were inevitable, we won those cookies!
After winning the cookies, people began approaching us telling us how “lucky we are to have won the cookies”, and that “we are in for a pure treat”, and that “nobody makes cookies like those”, as well as cash offers and offers of “I’ll be your friend for one” man, I could not wait to get in the car and dig into those cookies! Soon enough, we did just that, as we found ourselves making the drive home while experiencing the best cookies we ever had.

" I just wanted you to know that the cookies were a HUGE hit with our family. My husband has been sneaking bites all day. He said that they were phenomenal, the best ever! My daughter, Leah, while begging for another one told me that they were the best cookies she ever had. Our Aunt Donna is the gourmet chef in our family, and Leah whispered in my ear, "These are even better than Aunt Donna's, just please don't tell her I said that."

Dear Family Secrets,
  On two occassions now I have been treated to your cookies. WOW! The flavor and texture is just like mom used to make. My favorites were the white chocolate chip. Their size alone makes them unique. These are no stingy confection. Even at my age (67) a glass of milk and one of these treats, makes a great dessert. Thank you for making the gifts to me very special indeed. I look forward to more delights coming my way.
Thanx,
