Home LIfe; Clean up time, Frankie does the outside

Copyright by The Old School Housewife
It's clean up time around our house.  Frankie is cleaning out the corner of the house.  He took out some of the shrubs that I planted years ago and grew wild.  I don't know what we will put there in the spring, but it's all cleaned out for now. 
PS.  He does the hard work outside, I do the easy work inside.

Happenings; Britney's 20th Birthday

Copyright by The Old School Housewife
On October 16th 1994 a girl child was born.  October 16th 2014 a woman is formed from that child.  Our beautiful Britney will no longer be a teenager on the 16th even though we celebrated her birthday today.  Her grandfather and I couldn't be more proud and couldn't love her anymore.  Happy Birthday Britney!

Dessert; Britney's Fall Cookies

Would you believe these are cookies?  My granddaughter, Britney made them.  I think they look a little like stained glass.  I can't give you the recipe though because she won't give it up. lol  She said it's her secret.   She's becoming a really good baker.
