dream come true...




my friend joan mcnamara (lovely owner of joan's on third) introduced me to a book series one year ago and i purchased them immediately.  i knew this would become the start of a wonderful obsession...

little did i realize that i would then read the books as i fell asleep at night, use the recipes constantly, and now meet the amazing authors.

christopher hirsheimer and melissa hamilton are superb talents. they share a unique and well travelled past ... the story too special to write out here... i suggest you purchase a copy - or the set of their series #1-7 with #8 around the corner!

their new book just out ... canal house cooks every day.

they were gracious to stop at red ticking yesterday fresh off the plane, luggage in hand to come see
us and visit and sign copies of their new book. it felt as though we had always been friends...

i look forward to making the journey to canal house and experiencing their wonderful world.

you can purchase a signed copy of canal house cooks every day now at red ticking.
we promise we will do our best to deliver it to you in time for christmas...

tis the season... what a wonderful gift ... ladies... you are so special. thank you.

not feeling 50

i must confess i did jump the chain link fence at the colorado state fair with my sister decades ago
when we went to the monkees concert... and although it would be more difficult to do today... i would probably still attempt it!



i will be 50 this month and it is exciting, exhilarating and fun...
friends and family gather and it is one month of celebrations...
i love to love and feel very loved... xx
