- Go to No More Cookies
Such a lovely jar. Well, it made a good blog. Your cookies sound great, perhaps in those days, there were not so many sweet things on offer. Or perhaps one did not buy them. Nice memory though. It is so nice to read from you.

Re: FSI
I'm afraid that cat has been in permanent time out for many, many years and I'm thankful I can even remember his name. He was way before Pitiful.

Re: Shamasehar
I am so thankful for my memories. At my age my Dad had none due to Alzheimers disease. He got so he could not even remember his name or where he lived or how to put his dentures in his mouth and yet he was so precious and so loveable.

Re: Oh no! I am so sorry.
Sassyass, It was enough to run into this photo and have a day of remembering friends and family sitting around in the dining room there with cookies and coffee, playing Scrabble or catagories, laughing. It is a lot easier now just to remember than to keep the cookies coming....and better for my blood sugar and too much caffeine.

Re: That darn cat!
Pat - what I intend to write about tomorrow is the cat that broke the cookie jar.

Re: Good Morning
Goldiec, what I love about memories is that I remember them and then the memories multiply with a lot more memories added to them, and I am always so thankful that I can remember. What bothers me more than remembering a lost posession is that I cannot remember.

Oh, what beautiful memories you shared! And that cookie jar was so good to see. I had forgotten - I had one just like that but not from 1958. Maybe it had been my mom’s...

Oh, no. It looked so beautful. It's time to put the cat in timeout.

Oh no! I am so sorry.
That bad puddy tat! I would have cried a thousand tears. A cookie jar from 1958 was worth some money, not to mention the fond memories that the cookie monsters can now only look back on.

Good Morning
Taps, I'm so sorry about your cookie jar. That jar had lots of memories. I know just how you feel. A couple weeks ago one of my prized possessions got broke. I had my stone pampered chef cake pan for 25 years and it accidentally was broken. I replaced it with one that's almost the same but not quite. The way I think about it is that everything is man-made and at some point, it may be broken. At least we have the memories.
