Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookies
Delicious oatmeal, banana, and raisin cookies made in less than 30 minutes.
3 large bananas , mashed
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 eggs
2 tbsp frozen pineapple juice (undiluted)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter , melted
1/4 cup fat free milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
I cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 seedless raisins (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl and let stand for 5 minutes so that the oats will absorb excess moisture. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 1 minute on baking sheets and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. (If your kids don't like raisins, just leave them out. I did and I didn't miss them.)

Yes! I am on the completed status.
Sounds like you're doing great! I wish all of our patients were as engaged and proactive as you are. We will move you to "completed" status. Would you be willing to schedule a follow-up interview with us? We try to interview completed patients every 3 months for 1 year (4 interviews) to measure (and document) progress, assess goals, answer questions, and offer suggestions for continued success. It usually takes about 15 minutes or so.

Benjamin doesn't look too happy, does he?

Three Family Photos
Caydin, Donovin and Erin when we returned them back to Bree and Barbara after they had visited us.
Brigitta visits in Nephi.
Shawn At One
Shawn wanted the candy and not the photo. I wanted him to wait for the candy until the photo was taken. We can all see how well that went over. I was afraid that the little outfit would be coated in candy dribbles. What I ended up with is a crying boy and a blurry photo.
Grandma Smith bought the outfit for Shawn. This was actually taken on the steps of the church (Provo Fifth LDS Ward). I was expecting Melanie.
BYU Blankets
Myrna wrote: We received a package today from Fanatics. Inside were two BYU fleece blankets. There is no gift card. The packing says that the blankets were billed to Myrna Trauntvein, 228 South 300 East, Nephi. . .
The order number is: 20901165 and the package #22807012.
However, when I went there, there was no way it would allow me to trace it.
Hmm. . .
Is one of you going to accept the honor?
Thank you. We don't dare use them until we know if there has been an error.
Todd wrote: That was our birthday gifts to you and dad. Our Christmas gift was a month of monitoring. Those blankets are really nice when you are sitting in your bedroom spying on your neighbors in their hot tub. Dark colors conceal you better.
Myrna wrote: Rats! I think that we will have to find another use. We have no neighbors who leave their blinds up at night and we have not a single neighbor with a hot tub. Not a single one. Dad may use his for warming up after moving snow, voluntarily, for half the town. I am just always cold--summer, winter, spring and fall--so I will enjoy being warm. Thanks for the blankets. They are thick and warm and nice.

Myrna wrote: Dad says he is already enjoying his blanket. I took a photo of him under his warm blanket lying on the sofa reading the funnies. There he is all toasty and warm on a cold winter day. I think I will go snuggle under mine. Thank you.

Gift of Membership
Myrna wrote: Julie would also like an account with Costco. The thing is, she thinks that she can get a business membership and we could be added. I am not sure if the account we have will add another person(s) or not. I don't know if they have a business account at Costco (they do at Sams) and how that works. Also, what did AnnMarie decide and how did you gift her one? Is it just for one year and she renews? Perhaps I should just check (me) with Costco and find out what is available.
I will send a check to you for this past year. Please hold it until the first or it will bounce and bounce and bounce. . .
Kimberly wrote: I can check costco for business, but I do not know right off. As for AnnMarie, I am don't know anything. I did not gift her a membership.
Looking at the Costco site it looks like there is no savings, $55 for 1st two cards and $55 each thereafter.
Myrna wrote: Oh, sorry. When she comes to pick up the kids, I will ask who gifted her. Whoever had her last year, I guess. I do not even keep track of that anymore. Thanks for looking up the Costco ad.
What is Boxing Day in England?
Brandon, I was only half right. (That means I was also half wrong.)
I looked it up on Google and found several references.
The exact etymology of the term "boxing" is unclear.
There are several competing theories, none of which are definitive. The European tradition, which has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions, has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown. It may come from a custom in the late Roman/early Christian era, wherein metal boxes placed outside churches were used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen, which in the Western Church falls on the same day as Boxing Day.
In Britain, it was a custom for tradesmen to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year. This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663.
This custom is linked to an older English tradition: Since they would have to wait on their masters on Christmas Day, the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts and bonuses, and sometimes leftover food.
