Monte Vista & Easter Cookies

Before Easter, Chip and I drove around Monte Vista, a historic neighborhood here in San Antonio, with gorgeous homes (built between 1890-1930).  The architecture alone is reason enough to take a drive or walk through the handful of streets just north of downtown.







And then to cap off a great afternoon, I spotted this…


There was no way we’d pass up going inside and seeing the selection.  Easter desserts were all the rage that week, and these cookies especially so.






Instead we chose a few cookies from their cookie bar.

Clockwise from top left:  Rosemary Shortbread, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Cowboy Cookie (I think)



Left to right: Two chocolate Mexican Wedding Cookies, and Mexican Wedding Cookie
We both really liked the chocolate Mexican Wedding Cookie….yummm!

I'm trying to get back into posting more here. I guess you could say I've been distracted. Since late February, I've been reading everything I can about COVID-19 (from reputable news sites like CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, and tweets from medical professionals). This virus is a monster. From what was initially a virus that was detrimental to the older population is now affecting children and young adults as well. It is no longer a respiratory illness, but one whose symptoms can vary and be just as deadly. The scary part is there is no standard treament or vaccine yet so the best thing hubs and I can do is be prepared. Early on (late Feb), we bought extra cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper (LOL). In March, I bought everything I needed to make fabric masks (i.e. sewing machine & gadgets, cotton fabrics, non-woven interfacing for the middle layer, thread, rotary cutter, etc). The following month, I started sewing. The pattern I used called for 7" elastic loop for each mask but that wasn't gonna work universally 'cause hubby required a larger size and I needed smaller. So for everyone else who wanted a mask, I cut the elastic (shown here) so they can adjust the fit to their liking. #fabricmask #3layermask #noseandmouthcovering #pandemictimes #covid19 #thenewnormal #shelterinplace2020 #willwearmaskpubliclyuntiligetvaccinated #germany #igersgermany #germany_insta #ig_germany #rhinelandpfalz #rhinelandpalatinate #rheinlandpfalz
