I work in a children's hospital. One of the things I often do in my department is find a reason to celebrate. I'll buy everyone cookies, ice cream, coffee or bring in special treats. If nothing else, it helps get us through the long 12-hour days. I couldn't let the eclipse of August 21, 2017 go by without SOME modicum of fun and frivolity. The eclipse kind of caught me off guard (even though I've known about it for months). So, I improvised with cookies from the cafeteria. These were not just any cookies though. These were "eclipse cookies". Read the box for more info:

I often insist on taking pictures of everyone when I do one of these treat days. This day was no different. So you'll see pictures of people with cookies mixed in with the rehabilitation department staff experiencing the eclipse.
