Memorial Day is on May 26th this year, and this is a “Thank You” to all of the widows, widowers, orphans, the disabled veterans, and to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Many people show their appreciation by flying the U..S. Flag at half-staff until noon. Others visit the cemeteries and memorials of the fallen soldiers, leaving flags or flowers.

My grandmother loves to collect things, and I mean a lot of things. One type of these many items is cookie jars, specifically holiday cookie jars. She had about four Thanksgiving, nine Christmas, three Easter, and one or two Halloween cookie jars. She was so proud of these jars, that she had my grandfather make a custom shelf in her dining room to display these treasured objects.

Every holiday my mom and dad would pack up my brother, sister, and me and go over to grandma’s house. When we arrived there, depending on the holiday, she would have one of these cookie jars on the counter filled to the top with cookies for her grandchildren. We would always sit around the table in her kitchen and snack on cookies and milk while she asked us about our trip.

That is one of my favorite memories growing up. Every time I see a cookie jar I think of my grandparents, and the fun we had. So, why not make some of your own loving memories, Mrs. Fields® Haunted House Cookie Jar, Mrs. Fields® Haunted Ghost Cookie Jar, and the Mrs. Fields® Autumn Cookie Jar. I am sure that your children or grandchildren will cherish the memories, as I have with my grandparents
