Cookie Exchange

I went to a cookie exchange today. Alyssa helped organize it. I typically stay away from these types of events because I'm not a baker. Baking cookies is so tedious. And draining. Not my passion at all. But I decided to go today because (1) Alyssa was involved, (2) 2/3 of the cookies were being donated to the Desert Vista Behavioral Center which houses homeless women who have mental illness challenges. We also were able to donate 20 New Testaments. Alyssa created super-cute bookmarks for us to write Bible verses on and stick in the New Testaments. Jerri brought a platter with 16 varieties of cookies to share with us...unbelievable! All in all, a very nice way to spend a couple of hours instead of fighting the crowds at the stores!
