Cookie Jar

October 27th, 2008 by Carl Harvey

Recently we moved my Grandparents from their home to live with my  Dad.  It has been an adventure.   We’re currently in the process of cleaning out their house.  The nice thing is Grandma gets to tell us who gets what, so there is little fussing or disagreements.  One of the “gems” I got was this cookie jar.  I bought it probably 15 years ago as a Christmas present to Grandma and she did love it.  I couldn’t possibly tell her that the rabbit mottif didn’t quite fit the style in my house.  So, I took it home with me.  It was driving to school one day that I realized the perfect use for this little rabbit.  She now sits on the library workroom table and is filled with cookies — sometimes even homemade.  Teachers and volunteers are quickly remembring there are treats to enjoy in the rabbit, so we see them visit through our LMC quite often for a cookie fix.  My teachers are great to collaborate and work with, but a little treat has brought them through the library just a little more often!  Chocolate does have amazing powers somedays!  Sometimes just a social visit can lead to a collaborative connection!
