cookie ministry

I made some more chocolate chip cookies this morning upon request (we're going on a picnic tomorrow afternoon). Which led to the following moment ...

Me: (taking cookies out of oven).

Mail Carrier: (making LOTS of noise putting mail in the slot.

Me: (walking over to door, oven mit in hand) "Hello."

Mail Carrier: "Here's your mail" (taking out of slot and handing mail to me). "What's that delicious smell?"

Me: "Cookies, I just took them out of the oven. Would you like one?" (I took his hints and, well, I am a nun).

Mail Carrier: "I'd love one."

So I gave him two cookies. He was most appreciative. Of course there wasn't even any mail for me!! :( ... Mine is all being forwarded from Portland to New Jersey and will be awaiting me on my arrival next Wednesday evening.
