Cookie Jar

My sister Anne discovered some retro cookie jars recently and one of them reminded her of the one that was in our house when we were growing up.

A search of the archives has turned up this photo. You can see our actual cookie jar on the kitchen counter. I remember taking this picture and thinking that the contents of the cupboard would be interesting to us in the far distant future.

I do remember the cookie jar as being yellow like a tree. Do you think that's a squirrel on the top of the lid?

Yikes! Who's that loser in the photo with the cookie jar? Oh wait a minute, that would be me.... shame, shame... the hair, the glasses, the clothes... damn the 70's!!!

I do remember that cookie jar. I also remember it as being yellow and I think it was a squirrel on top of the lid.

Funny that they would be so close yet not the same.

Happy New Year!!!

The best thing about 2009 was the arrival of Thea and Aaron's new cousin, Kalil. We got a new tree for Christtmas. Thea got a beautiful feather headband from Auntie Anne. I knit a bunch of hats this year - here's the one I made for Aaron. I also knit Aaron the Incognito tube.

Thea's Western Wall
