We were just having fun...

Wishing you an abundance of grace, joy, and enthusiasm in 2024

        A Great Time 

We gather in my 
mother’s small kitchen
Aprons ready for
flour, butter, and sugar 
creations  
Rolling dough 
Cutting shapes into
edible cookies
Colored frosting lines
the countertop 
Side by side 
My children giggle and hum
Artists in the making 
The smell of 
vanilla and dates fill the room
And at this moment 
I travel back to my childhood 
Making cookies with my 
Grandma Bloom
