Two crazy dogs staring in a series of books including Dog Days in Italy: How I Became An Expat Dog, A Dog's Beary Merry Christmas Carol, and The Book of Mysteries Trilogy.
The recipe didn't call for it, but it sure needed it. The cookies spread more than they should have, but they are very light and nice. They get some icing and sprinkles on top.

Mom's first batch of Christmas cookies - chocolate with chocolate chips, white chips, and peppermint bark. @olliethepappy.bsky.social @darcie5.bsky.social @benniepup1.bsky.social @charliepawsup.bsky.social @hossasbitch81.bsky.social @robinandfriends.bsky.social

These are some brutti ma buoni.

Yup. Mom is thinking it is time to start the Christmas cookies. Not sure what she will do this year. This was her tray a few years ago.

Good plan, Olls. Mom says it looks weird putting them on me with all my fur sticking out. How about antlers?

Thanks, Benita. We had a great campaign.

Wow. I guess you aren't dreaming of a white Christmas. You will have had enough snow by then. Stay warm and cozy, Benita. Maybe it is just the right time to cuddle with a cozy mystery?

Thank you. Tomorrow is the Local Author's Fair Mom will participate in. Unfortunately, copies of her latest mystery will not arrive in time. She tried to get a Venmo account yesterday, but the dumb thing wouldn't allow her to go to the next page.

We won't celebrate until Sunday when the family will be here, Benita. Mom is sort of glad it was delayed because she was so busy getting her new book on Amazon.

Oh, that sounds wonderful. Mom loves Venice. She has been so very many times. So tell me, did you get lost? I think everyone gets lost there. Happy Birthday to your sister. I sure hope she enjoys the books. Mom is working on book four, set in Sorrento,to come out in 2026.

OMG. This was Mom and Dad's first meeting with Carlo Zucchetto whose prosecco they imported to California. Seems like twenty years ago -- actually closer to thirty. @olliethepappy.bsky.social @darcie5.bsky.social @hossasbitch81.bsky.social @benniepup1.bsky.social

Wow, Keegan. I didn't know you had books too. I have one just for Christmas.
November 19, 2025 at 4:52 PM
Oh, they are very cute. Yes, Christmas is coming. Do you know Dino's Christmas story?

Happy Tuesday, Olls. Look at this. Mom made a pumpkin bread yesterday. We got a tiny taste this morning.

Mom made a pumpkin loaf yesterday, a yeast bread. We got a little taste this morning. It doesn't have spices in it.

That is what I use too. My mixer tried to commit suicide by jumping off the counter a while ago and has not worked right since. So Mom finally got a new one - early Christmas and birthday gift. She is trying it out today.

The countdown has begun. Watch for book 3 in The Glass Ceiling Club Cozy Mystery Series. Coming soon to Amazon. @olliethepappy.bsky.social @darcie5.bsky.social @neddykooiker.bsky.social @benniepup1.bsky.social @hossasbitch81.bsky.social @charliepawsup.bsky.social @tashaspunsugar.bsky.social
