SUMMER 2009 COOKBOOK SWAP: Please post a THANK-YOU here when you receive….

According to the tracking numbers, I do believe that the 1st cookook was delivered today!!!!!

Kate, You are correct....and I am the very lucky recipient!!!!! I had a bad day today and was really trying to find something to cheer me up. Nothing was working. When I got home it was raining and lightning so I didn't check the mail at the end of my road. But when the storm passed and we checked it.....I had a package from dear Anna Stodolak with not one...but 3 cookbooks in it!!! Anna, you outdid yourself! It definitely was the thing to cheer me up!!! I am fixing to go fix a cup of coffee, make some banana bread and then sit on my rearend all night and read them!!! Thank you so much. I also loved your letter about each cookbook and why you chose it. I am so excited about the recipes from all of your local restaurants. That is so neat! I have flipped throught the Command Cuisine cookbook and LOVE it. The recipes sound delicious. I would love to go to Amish country. You live in their community? How neat. I bet you get all kinds of great recipes. I hope you have a great visit with your granddaughter. I am sure she will love just being with you and glad to help! =] Oh and it was so neat seeing Nancy Foust's recipes in the cookbook. You must live in the same area?! Thanks Anna, you brightened my day considerably!!

Steph, Glad that you liked the books.  Yes Nancy lives about a 20 minute drive from me.  We are havng a get together this Saturday for a TOH meet here in NW PA because Bren (dinkum) from Australia is visiting the States again. We chose to wait with our usual spring get together to until she got here.  Can't wait to see everyone.

Kate,  I am so glad my package reached you so quickly.  Glad you liked the book, and the bear.  Our ladies mission group had a great time gathering recipes from the older ladies in the church and a few of the men.  Hope you enjoy our church cookbook.
