    Betsy ~ I haven't stopped by for a visit in so long. I've missed the company of your sweet blog. And you've remodeled! BE-AU-TIFUL!!

    Keep eating those farm eggs - they're good for you! I had to get past the 'city girl' *germ* thing too. Now, I crave them and feed them to my crew.

    Bless you in the new year. I'll return sooner than later.

    These look just too too yummy! :)
    Thanks for mentioning me in your last post. Sorry I didn't get over there to comment. I think we were waiting on your Uncle Larry to come home from school for the Christmas tree picture. I know I have that picture somewhere and I need to pull it out and blog about it. It is so funny.. we are all sitting around that rediculous poor pathetic tree looking not too happy.... xoxo
    Unks!

    they do look good.
    I am sure they are healthy, the oats and peanut butter cancel out all that butter and sugar :)

    enjoy them, after your rough month you certainly deserve them

    Oh those look good! I just wish someone would make them for me and then I'd eat them all in one sitting. Ok, so maybe it's a good thing that probably no one will make them for me.

    Big, pink, puffy heart LOVE peanut butter with chocolate.
