Hi Tom,
Okay, I'm for that. I will have to put all the barns on here.

Thanks Marilyn. Barns have such history.

This looks like another excellent recipe from Jean! Thanks!

Nice Barn pictures,makes me feel kinda sad to see the oldest ones falling apart,but thats the way it goes i guess.
Recipe sounds good and easy,just the way i like them.
I also like the little verse at the end,looking forward to see what the others will say.
I'm happy to say my day was good, didn't have to work today and got to spend time with my son,daughter in law and 3 grandkids.
Hope you have a nice weekend too.

Hi Ingrid,
It is sad to see those barns go down. Some of them are still being used even though they look they will fall down. The cookies are delicious, I've had some and told her she had to put that one on. Glad you like the verses, too.
So glad you had such a great day with your daughter in law and grandkids.
Marilyn
