Happy Monday! Please say a prayer for our best friends Tony and Michele. Tony's father passed away suddenly on Friday. Bob and I made the trip up to northern Indiana yesterday to spend some time with Tony, Michele and Tony's family. It is going to be really hard for his mother. His parents have been married for 61 years and they did everything together. Please say a prayer for his mother, she is really afraid of being alone right now. The Mazzoni house has a lot of things going on right now. The new year 2010 has MANY changes ahead for us all. We are expecting our first granddaughter "Carly Brooke" in late January, Bob is changing his schedule at work, Rachel is getting ready to start playing in her new season of Mava volleyball and Michelle has MANY changes ahead of her. Please God watch over all of us. I am looking forward to the holidays and spending time with all my loved ones. I love to bake cookies at Christmas, the hard part is deciding which ones to make. Over the years, I have collected so many cookie recipes. I am an avid collector of cookbooks. I especially love ones put together by church groups or schools. My family has their family favorites, such as the "Egg" cookie. This is a cookie that Bob's grandmother made and his aunt Carmen passed on to me before she passed away several years ago. The whole family cannot get enough of them. They are like a meringue cookie. I must go for now. Have a good week.
