On my brief break in Red Bud, this is what I saw: Twelve minty cookies,

You probably noticed that these are M&M's, not cookies. I had a great picture (more like thirty . . . I was a little camera happy)of the cookies, but somehow they got deleted. And by the time I realized it, the cookies were gone. Whoops!

M&M cookies are Mom's favorite, so when Melissa and I made chocolate chip cookies this year, we set aside some dough for the M&M's. But we didn't realize that the M&M's were MINT (tricky packaging)! The cookies were still good, just different. Poor Mom. I guess she'll have to wait until next year!
