Robert Armstrong's favorite food has been his grandma' s cookies ever since he was a child．
Years later and armed with a business degree，Armstrong，28，is turning his grandma's cookie recipe into a national brand，G．Mommas Southern Style Cookies，featuring chocolate chip pecan（美洲山核桃） and "buddascotch" oatmeal（燕麥片） flavors．
In February，California-based specialty retailer（零售店），Cost Plus World-Market，with 265 stores in 31 states selling home decor（裝飾），food and drink，started selling the cookies．They will also be in 800 Cracker Barrel stores this fall．
After graduating from college in 2008 and unable to find a job，Robert Armstrong asked his grandmother，Anice Morris Armstrong，to teach him how to bake，which he thought would take an afternoon．
"It was harder than college，" he said．
With basic cooking tools and an oven in an abandoned kitchen，he set up his own business，Selma Good，and began producing cookies in an old warehouse．Baking 10 to 12 hours a day，he managed to deliver cookies to 35 stores．His grandmother helped him develop the "buddascotch" recipe before her death，aged 88，last July． "She inspirited me in ways no one else ever could，" said Armstrong．
He reached out via LinkedIn，a website，to a national distributor，who asked for samples．Within a year，he found a commercial bakery in Pennsylvania and a deal to go national with World Market． "Everybody has a grandma recipe，but I was lucky to find people that would take a chance on me，" Armstrong said． "They're crunchy，but light，like feathers，and taste extremely good，" said Judy McKinny at Mark's Market，one of Armstrong's first retail customers in his hometown of Selma，Alabama．
World Market is ordering two cases per store each quarter，a huge leap from the 9，000 bags he made himself per quarter．
His goal is to one day move production back to his native Selma to help its development．Selma has struggled economically since the closure of a candy factory several years ago．

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
