While snow dumps and gathers on my stairs and walkways today I am wondering why can’t Washington be the sunshine state?

I made these cookies a few weeks ago to celebrate sunshine in people, particularly my dentist, Susan M. Kohls, who helped my dad manage tooth pain while he was visiting from Colorado. Her office got him in within an hour of our calling and he left her office feeling ok again and with a dental plan in hand.

It made us feel important and all warm and fuzzy. People can be powerful like that… So I also made sunflowers because flowers are for lots of things, including saying thank you. It’s nice too that they can bring you to a sunshine state.
