Black Walnut Chocolate Drop Cookies

A life once spent is irrevocable. It will remain to be contemplated through eternity… The same may be said of each day. When it is once past, it is gone forever. All the marks which we put upon it, it will exhibit forever… Each day will not only be a witness of our conduct, but will affect our everlasting destiny… How shall we then wish to see each day marked with usefulness! It is too late to mend the days that are past. The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked.

know", <g>!. While going some of the  things that were in the attic
when we moved back home I came across a  loose leaf notebook packed in
with some children books that we had  moved here from Levittown, P.A.
in 1965. I remember putting all the  clippings I had saved from the
newspapers and magazines on to paper  and saving them in this book. It
is filled with treasures (if in age  only) and I have had a ball keying
them in here. I shall put this  note on each recipe. Posted to EAT-L
