Fall Friday

It's the Friday before Thanksgiving - so since I know these favorite fall days of mine will soon be gone I made some yummy oatmeal cookies.  They were two-in-one.  After I made the cookie dough,
I divided it.  In one bowl I stirred in Guittard Chocolate Chips and Butterscotch Chips to make oatmeal Scotcheroos.
The other bowl I stirred in leftover fresh cranberries and white chocolate chips.  They turned out to be my favorite.  The tart cranberries with the sweet, white chocolate is just perfect for my tastebuds!

I got the recipe from Melanie over at My Kitchen Cafe

I also went to the Temple this morning and did initiatory and then I went to the hospital to visit Mom.  She is doing OK considering her difficult surgery on Tuesday. 

Kaitlyn is such a character!  This afternoon she has dressed up as "Savanna", a made-up neighbor girl and she is visiting us and charming us with her Southern Drawl Accent.  Brycen and Ty Geddes are playing right along ....   I asked Brycen who left their cookie on the counter and he said, "That's Savanna's"

Meet Savanna:
