I'm back from the nature woods and camping! Whew! My husband dearly loves to camp and loves going to Whitewater each year. I had never been camping until I met him. Always an adventure! This year was a little rough, with some heavy rains last night and the bugs were pretty bad. I don't like bugs. But I still enjoyed our time away and hiking and just talking with him.
But now I'm back to life and M will be returning to work again in the morning. Booo :( June is still his busy month, so he has one more week of very busy long days, not home in time for dinner kind of long days. Oh well. That's why we try to sneak away camping on one of his comp days during June - just so we can see each other.
Anyways, right before we left, I was experimenting in the kitchen tried out these sugar cookie bars. Love them! As I've mentioned before, I love a good sugar cookie. The softer and fatter the better. And these really fit the bill. They are great if you have a time crunch because they all go in one pan and then you are done - no waiting around for cookie sheets to go in and out of the oven. Win in my book!
