Hi Mary,
See the recipe below. Someone else was nostalgic for Dad's cookies, too.
Phaed
Dad's Oatmeal Cookies
" A delightful childhood memory of buying cookies after school for
a penny apiece is what I envision when someone says Dad's Cookies.
They were baked on Winters Lane in Catonsville, Md. during my
childhood days and then on Pratt St. in Baltimore before being
bought by a New York company. "
Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups quick cooking oats
Directions
1 Cream first three ingredients until fluffy, add eggs and vanilla.
Mix all dry ingredients into butter mixture. Stir in oats. Let
dough stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3 Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
Flatten cookies slightly and bake for 10 minutes. Do not overbake.
4 Take cookies from the oven when still puffy and edges are just
beginning to brown. Let cookies cool a minute or two on cookie sheets
before removing. Cool completely on racks. They are fragile and
difficult to remove from the cookie sheets when they are still warm,
so work gently.
Makes 30 servings

Hello Delbert,
Try this:
"You can make an effective home cleaner to remove mold and mildew from
bricks. The formula is 1/3 cup all-purpose household or laundry detergent, 1
quart fresh household chlorine bleach, and 3 quarts warm water. Add 1/2 to
2/3 cup of an alkaline cleaner such as washing soda or a cleaner with
tri-sodium phosphate for a stronger cleaner."
"Apply this solution, and scrub the surface with a soft brush. When the
surface is clean, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water. Always take care
not to spray vegetation. If vegetation is accidentally sprayed, rinse the
plants thoroughly with fresh water. This solution is also caustic to humans
so wear protective clothing, rubber gloves, and eye protection."
Once you get the mold off, you have to keep the bricks clean, or it will
come back.
