Oatmeal Raisin Drop Cookies

 

Our day started by hauling the Rpod and tow vehicle in to see the mechanic.  Tow vehicle to make sure fluid, belts etc. are in good shape and ready for our next trip.  The Rpod to have the brakes and wheel bearings looked at, not because we have had problems, this was a proactive maintenance visit and we are glad we did.  

There was a major problem developing with the right brake and we were able to get it looked after before the problem sidelined a vacation.  

Time and money well spend.



After dropping off we went out for breakfast and a great cup of coffee.


Followed by a quick stop at the post office to mail Happy Mail.


Our granddaughter came over and started baking with her grandfather while I finished up some crafting that will need to be posted before we leave.  While looking out the kitchen window I noticed how beautiful the hollyhocks are.  All the kitchen window this time of year look out on beautiful flowers vistas.


These two had too much fun making cookies for our trip.  
They make quite the pair in the kitchen and they want to share this family favourite with you.

Always good to get preventive maintenance done before you get back on the road again. Like you said money well spent. Thanks for the cookie recipe.
