A while back ...
I had posted the smile below.

| aka ... "we are all toast!" |
A former student, Henry wrote to me and said above reminded him of my "cookie in the oven" quote. And then former student Seven's Mom, Bobbi said "now we all want to know what the cookie in the oven quote" is. So here goes ...
It started years ago when my Grandhunk #3 was little . When putting him to bed one night, he complained about something he couldn't do yet. I told him (and many of my students over the years), "You're a cookie in the oven, you're not done yet."
He looked at me, obviously trying to figure out if this could be true?Then he said, "How about you Grandma, are you done yet? I thought for a minute then said, "I'm getting pretty crispy around the edges.”
You know I have been doing this daily ramble of a blog for about fourteen years. I remember having 13 kind readers in 2012, friends and relatives who humored me. I don't monetize, have sponsors or seek many followers, although I sincerely appreciate those of you that stop by, never knowing what you will find? And so, I don't check the numbers very often, but on June 1, 2026 I did and here are the crazy number!

Dear Jacki, I feel blessed that I am among those many, many people that feel just a little bit better each day, because of looking at your blog. For example today: You had me laughing out loud with the video about the cell phones, (And I can';t say I blame his wife for complaining!) I had seen it before, but it's one of those that is interesting enough to view every once in a while. I felt admiration for the young woman who will be the Spanish Queen. What a wonderful, uplifting story to see that there are still leaders who want to be their personal best. And I could not do without your art or the cartoons. So thank you again. It's one of the wonderful aspects of this electronic age: to be able to keep in contact with busy friends. Hugs.Carrol
Thank you Carrol, I always feel excited to see that you have commented. You are so right, it is such a blessing to be still connected with you, within our busy lives. I feel we have one of those friendships that stays and when we do get together, we take off right where we left off? Thanks you, dear friend.
Jacki, I love Carrols comment. She always finds the right words and expresses what i often feel but don't know how to express.
I feel so blessed that I found your blog quite some years ago and I'm looking forward to reading it each and every day. Jacki, thank you for all your work.
Thank you dear Elenor. Your kind words make me smile, and I so appreciate you. Funny to feel so close to someone on the other side of the planet? But I do. Today was our voting day. It was 70' and clear blue skies, without a cloud in sight. I have been watching a lot of tennis, and enjoying so many young players coming up and in contention. I hope you weather is fine as well, and that you and your beautiful family are well and happy.
