September 2025
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

Reese’s Chewy Chocolate Cookies

A few weeks ago we enjoyed an evening of fellowship with friends, and oh my was I glad Anita brought a pan of these to share. Soft, chewy, chocolate, and peanut butter – doesn’t get much better than this; and the cookies we made were just as good as the bars.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups flour

3/4 cup cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 2/3 cups (1 10 oz. package) Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips

Heat oven to 350*. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add dry ingredients, beating well. Stir in peanut butter chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes. Cook slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool completely. Yield: about 4 1/2 dozen cookies.

Pan recipe: Spread batter in greased jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350* for 20 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack; cut into bars. Yield: about 4 dozen bars.
