The Cookie BOMB

Looks like I am most likely staying in Tri Cities at least while I am on wait list for new apt complex over in Walla Walla. If I stay I will be moving across the river over to Pasco into a studio apartment. My kitchen will not be as nice or spacious for baking as my former apartment at Bella Vista. But it will have an oven I am hoping to bake my cookies, muffins and brownies and such in.

These things take time though. So will not be selling any baked goods on Marketplace again until Thanksgiving or Christmas. But hopefully Thanksgiving as I love making my Turkey Sugar Cookie platters.

BREAKING: A melting ice sculpture of the word “Democracy” was placed in front of the U.S. Capitol.

Due to financial hardship and medical issues there may be a delay in me starting up the online marketplace sales. I am currently living in the Comfort Inn by the mall as my ex-husband has decided to defy a court order for child support that he is try to reverse. In his defense he did lose his job of over 20 years at UPRR. However I helped him get that damn job and I was nice/stupid enough to settle out of court and he got both our homes and I wasn't married to him long enough to even get part of the pension or my own.

Due to him pulling a fast one and not depositing money in my account when I was out of town on girls trip to Portland to see the Rock Orchestra at the Keller Auditorium my prepaid electric bill payment did not get processed and my electric was shut off. This is part of the reason I got evicted from my former apartment and why I lost my housing choice voucher. I am told with my limited social security income I only qualify for public housing and most of the places here in Tri Cities have a 1-2 year wait list. There is one place, the Bishop Commons over in Pasco. But they unfortunately have a lot of problems with some of their mentally ill & drug addicted tenants. So NOT the safest option for my new dwelling.

So stay tuned as I may be moving to Walla Walla if my community resource guide can get me a 1 bdrm apartment at a brand new public housing building that has just opened and screening new applicants. I am also looking for part-time work in the area and if I do land a gig that will hire me despite my disabilities and needing to sit the majority of my shift I will be able to stay here in Tri Cities. So again stay tuned and feel free to donate to my Go Fund Me or send a PayPal or FB pay as I continue to pay down my past due electric bill and rent plus I need travel funds to get to Klickitat County courts in Goldendale, WA. YES, he filed the court papers in a town I haven't lived in with our daughter since she was two years old. She just turned 16...lol! OMG, I have to laugh or I will cry.

I have had some views and messenger requests for orders as much as 6 dozen cookies. And I REALLY do appreciate the sudden interest. But as I explained to the last woman. I am not currently baking anything at all due to medical, financial & housing situation that has me in transition without a kitchen....or a home for that matter.
I will be revamping this page after some upcoming surgery & hopefully might get MAMA BEAR, Inc off the ground for pet/home sitting, occasional date night childcare & seasonal Marketplace sales of Grandma Cottle's famous Lemon Sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting, triple chocolate cupcakes, chocolate chip, Snickerdoodles, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter and now I kind of want an ice cream cookie sandwich.

So fingers crossed & such. Things will hopefully get better by Halloween, which is my most favorite time to start baking my cookies with all the fun cookie cutter shapes.

Hmm, I prefer the single story cottages aka Granny pods given how accident prone I am.
