Women Beyond a Certain Age Podcast
Society & Culture
Crescent Dragonwagon and illustrator Jessica Love pair up in this lovely and powerful new edition of Crescent’s classic picture book, Will It Be Okay? Those things which caused us to seek comfort in 1977 still require loving attention today. We are reminded, with humanity, grace, and humor, that, yes—yes, it will be okay.
Oatmeal cookies also make things okay. Crescent shares her tummy-warming recipe with us.
Dairy Hollow House Oatmeal Cookies
Makes about 72 2-inch cookies
When guests checked out of the inn I ran with Ned, my late husband, for 18 years, we sent them off with a bag containing a cookie each, to enjoy on the way home... to extend the pleasure of their stay just a little longer.
