Mrs. Hunter is getting organized....

I finally finished Mrs. Hunters new wheel chair bag.  There really isn't a pattern out there that has all the pockets I required for all her "good stuff"  So I found a pattern I liked and altered it a bit.  Here is Mrs. Hunters new wheel chair bag....there is even a velcro strap to hold her blood presser checker....and the handles are on the sides so that they will not slip down and make the back of her wheel chair bend down making it so uncomfortable to sit in all day!  Update, She loved her bag!!!!

Christmas Project


I'm calling for the help of any and all kind hearted crafter's to help me with a Christmas Project.
I would like to give the residents at the Tomball Retirement Center a blessed Christmas this year. I know it's early but I think starting early will give us the best chance at making the holiday's a little brighter for them all this year.
I am looking for Crafter's that make jewelry and might have some extra necklaces to donate ( they should be long enough so they will fit over their head) about 100 needed
Also Adult Bibs for men and women 40 needed
Lap Blankets 20-30 needed
Large print Puzzle books 20 needed
Adult PJ's in all sizes  5 in small, 5 in med, 5 in large, 5 in xlarge

If you are able to donate any of these items I would be so thrilled, and you can message me on Facebook, I will be happy to come by and pick up or even pay the postage.
Thank you and may God bless you.

Goodies for the Retirement Center


Today is Tuesday and I go to the Tomball Retirement Center on Wednesday to pass around some smiles.  Today I made a few tasty treats....  Lemon blueberry pound cake with lemon glaze, Oatmeal cookies with toffee bits, raisins, chocolate chips and of course walnuts.. peanut butter cookies, and of course one of my favorites Coconut Macaroons!

So you like Macaroons do you...well I have an absolute fantastic recipe for Chewy Macaroons that will blow your mind and here it is:

7 oz flaked coconut or about 2 2/3 cups
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 egg whites
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 ounces semisweet chocolate Melted (this is for the chocolate drizzle)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees .  Lightly grease and flour large cookie sheet or use parchment paper
In a medium bowl combine all ingredients except the egg whites and extract.  Stir in egg whites and extract till mixed well and no lumps are remaining.
Drop rounded teaspoon fulls of mixture onto prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown.  Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool and cool completely.
Drizzle each cookie with a little of the melted chocolate and place cookies in the fridge so the chocolate will set.
Store for up to three day room temperature or up to 3 months in the freezer.  Should make about 20 cookies.
