Prompt Hand Print
Made me think of baking cookies with them when they were younger and how fast they have grown.
These are my eldest two children to the right with their cousin MJ on a visit to Pleasure Island.

Love the short forms!
You have stirred up a batch of treats redolent of spicy, sweet memory. So much emotion and imagery packed into such a succinct write, well done. My favorite line is 'cookie crumble hugs' - this is such a perfect image from a toddler's youth. I'm constantly brushing off the littlest boy, he's so dang messy! Keep your pen to the page and thanks for entering! -
Soooo sweet! It's amazing that just a few lines can evoke the smells and memories of our most cherished days. As a mother and grandmother I revel in the older remembrances and the new ones I am making now

FOR SOME REASON - I'M HUNGRY! HE! HE!
A yummy piece that made an old man hungry - even if he has been on the throne again this morning longer then HENRY THE 8TH and as the throne at work is always taken and I have no depends on the house I have opted to stay home like a King on me throne this cloudy Monday morning. Good Luck in the contest with this one, Sugar! And those three look like a handful! The only one missing was SEXY LEGS! Perhaps, she is on her way to The States for her ICE CREAM and MISS KITTY, too! LOL!!!
Peace & Love!
