I had seen a cookies made by a cookie friend that I've mentioned before, Tami, from here or you can check out her facebook page right here. She does AWESOME work!
Well, in February, she had posted some awesome chocolate covered strawberry cookies and some cookies that looked like chocolates...you know the kind you get in a box...different shapes and sizes. They were so cute!!
But, when I saw the strawberries, I knew that is what I was going to make for Kim for her May treat.
I had a blast making them!! I did some in my favorite vanilla sugar cookie recipe, and some in a favorite chocolate sugar cookie cut out recipe. You can find the chocolate cookie recipe over here. I just LOVE it! She's another cookier that I admire...she does great work and her recipes ROCK!
Now, it gets sad....
The USPS lost the box....
Ok, they didn't really "lose" the box...it just got misplaced...for about 2 weeks!!!
I was sooooooo excited for Kim to open this treat that month and to hear back from her...and I heard nothing....I waited, and nothing...waited some more....nothing....
Knowing this wasn't like her at all, I jumped online to see when they got delivered and to my horror saw that they were "out for delivery" like 3 days earlier....so I contacted her to see if she got them, and she had not. We traced them to a sorting facility 30 minutes from her home...and there they sat for the next 10 days all the time saying "out for delivery"
The clerks at my local post office were in contact with the clerks there and "no one" knew what happened!
Well, Kim did receive these and she thought I had sent out another box because they were still ok to eat!!
....and she did love them...just like I knew she would!
I know, accidents happen, things get lost, people make mistakes....I have found that the best way to "live life today" is to forgive others quickly, forget other's mistakes and realize we are all human...
...it really is a good way to live....
Until next time....forgive someone today, forget someone's mistake that caused you stress...and hug a human!! You'll feel so good....
