No news

Well, it's almost 4:30. Kenson's visa appoinment was scheduled for 7:30 this morning. We haven't heard anything back from Haiti yet. I emailed a couple of hours ago but haven't gotten a response. So I made cookies. (Told you I bake to alleviate stress and kill time.) I of course ate a few cookies too. (Does the dried cranberries make them healthy? What about the Splenda? I also used Smart Balance's butter blend instead of regular butter or margarine. Doesn't that help?) D doesn't think fruit belongs in cookies or cake. But he said these were really good and then helped himself to like 4 or 5. (He then said he was exempt from eating vegetables at supper since he had fruit in his cookies. He is always trying to weasel his way out of vegetables!)
