Granny's Oatmeal Cookies

My Granny always had a stash of cookies!

She had several kinds to choose from

at any given time!

She stored them in various

containers of all kinds.

Some fancy some not so fancy.

She kept them on a yellow cart

in her kitchen.

The cookie cart!

It was in a perfect location!

It was strategically

positioned

near the back door and close to a

nearby hallway!

Perfect for grabbing and running,

a necessity to not being caught!

As the weekend came to an end the level

in the jars would drop significantly!

Granny did not mind!

She would happily fill them

up to the top again!

Ready and waiting

for our return!
