My son took this photo yesterday.

I find that my expression then reflects perfectly my response now to everyone's cookbook repose in yesterday's drawing. I felt drawn in to a secret place in your heart ~ a window of sorts, into your world . . .those cozy places in the nooks and crannies of your life wherein live warmth and nurture. I read and reread, drinking in the goodness.

I noted familial connections that remain after the passing of loved ones in Karen and Mary Grace' posts: how poignant, indeed! The return to "mamma's best" a common thread in others. The differences in recipe storage, from Beth, Joy, and Joyce and the ever token man-comment from Doug.

So, let's discuss Doug for a moment, shall we? He's really the one to be thanked, since he introduced me to Andrew's minstrel ministry in the first place! [We all need you and appreciate you here at ChoiceCentral, Doug. ]

Thanks for widening my horizons and thoughts about the cookbook connection. I'll never take someone's cookbook for granted again. :)

Without further ado, let's announce the winners! [And for the record, my GilGuy did the drawing honors!!]
