"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Sugar cookies are always a hit !!!
Great project....when grandchildren visit, spread a paper table cloth over a table and let them decorate. When Blake and Carter decorate, I always tell them not to make a big mess, keep it on the table cloth, my grandsons always tells me "but boys are just messy, Nana", too cute !!!
