Yep! This one gets one whole star. It's only getting the entire star instead of a half of a star because it is gluten free, sugar free, only 47 calories per cookie and is a very healthy cookie if you can

Update!! If you pump gas, Read this!




UPDATE:
I just looked into this on Snopes and it says it is false. I usually, always check these things out before posting them, but since this came from our Home Owners, I assumed it was true. 
My bad!  But at the least, it does make you be a little more aware of your surroundings. Again, sorry for the false post.

This just came to us from our 
Home Owners Association.



We live in Houston, but if it's happening here, more and likely it is happening all over the country.
Better safe than sorry!! 



Be careful at gas stations & parking lots/criminals giving free key rings with device chip. 
There is a syndicate of criminals presenting themselves as sales promoters who are giving free key rings at gas stations and parking lots. The key ring has a tracking device chip which allows the criminals to track and follow you.
Please, please don't accept them. They select their seemingly well-to-do potential victims and if you accept, you might become a victim of their tricks. The key holders are very beautiful and hard to resist accepting; but remember, you may end up paying more than the cost of a key holder, including the risk to your life. Please advise your family members, email contacts, and friends as well

Friday's Letters



Dear Sunshine,
Thank you for showing up yesterday. Sammy and I really enjoyed the park.

Dear Kisha,
Thanks so much for all your help getting my first "Weekly Goals" Blog Hop off the ground. I really do appreciate all your help. It seems to be doing pretty well, Thanks to everyone that linked up this week.

Dear Don, 
I am sorry I didn't make lunch with you and the girls. I just didn't feel like driving 40 minutes in traffic just to turn around and drive it back. Maybe next time it could be a little closer. 

Dear Jackson,
I am sorry I haven't put your game in the mail sooner. It has rained hard here for 2 days. But, it is now in the mail. You should have it by Tuesday. I love you buddy!

Dear Brittany,
Call your grandmother once in a while. I miss you. 

Dear Laci,
I have really enjoyed our long talks lately. I miss you very much.

Dear Florida,
Someday!!!  I love you!

Dear Spring!
Hurry!!!

Fill In The Blank Friday!

Hello friends!  My daughter, Kisha is starting  Fill in the Blank Friday's again. So answer these questions for yourselves and link up .

This is a really fun Linkup!!!



My new year started off
really great. Looking forward to see what 2013 has in store for me.

In 2013 I really want to accomplish
Getting all my recipes in order. I have so many that I need to go through and put them all in one place.

On cold January days, I stay warm by
building a fire and a warm blanket.

My favorite comfort food is
Biscuits and gravy although I do try not to eat this to often

January reminds me of
better things to come. Spring is right around the corner. My trip to Mackinac is coming up and then there's summer. 

My favorite winter sport is 
Figure skating. I can watch it inside my house and stay warm. I hate the cold. 

My favorite January TV shows are 
Big Bang Theory, hands down the best show on TV.
Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Cheers. I love the comedies
