Sweet Dreams

by Ted Streuli
Frances Streuli’s birthday was yesterday. She would have been 104. She dreamed that everyone would have a cookie.

She made the best cookies and she loved to see people enjoying them. Peanut butter, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, take your pick. But the special ones were the sugar cookies, always on theme thanks to drawers full of carefully curated cutters, meticulously decorated in such detail the finer lines of icing were applied with a toothpick. It was edible art that sometimes took all night.

Most problems can be made better with a cookie, and a cookie that’s been made with hours of love makes even the biggest woes a little sweeter. How upset can you be when you’re eating a cookie?

One of Rotary’s successes is having a meeting that’s built around a meal. Meetings could have been held at 7 pm, with members coming in after dinner, but it wouldn’t be the same. Breakfast club, lunch club or dinner club, Rotary means a meal, and that means a different level of fellowship than sitting in uniform rows of white plastic folding chairs or on some hardwood Presbyterian pew.

Food gives us a chance to talk. Round tables give us a chance to see who we’re talking to. And the dessert table — well, that just puts us in a better mood. How could it not? There are cookies. READ MORE
