Hope with this change…more time will magically appear during the day/night for you.

Winning the kit would be great…I won’t tell what I’ve been using lately.

Hello Suzanne,
I have been reading your blog for ages, but have never participated. I think the Dinner Bell recipes
will be very helpful- we do a lot of cooking around
here in Colorado! Thanks for all your efforts. I look forward everyday to your stories. I was a farm girl, but married a military man. We are now retired and doing some of the things we missed while moving 14 timies in service. Thanks again, Jackie

I agree with just about everyone, this site is most amazing and most wonderful. I am the creator/ instigator as some would say of a group of neighbors known as “neighbors helping neighbors”. We assist our neighborhood in building projects, totally free of charge. We have about 25 volunteers, we meet monthly to socialize and eat and talk of course. Every saturday, weather permitting we work on projects. This past winter we built a greenhouse and filled it with vegetable seedlings so that we could start a community garden, many in our area have lost jobs and we feel that the least we can do is offer free vegetables to those who need food. We have also started giving away our hens eggs,and I know our friends and neighbors appreciate what ever we can do to assist. We never ask for anything in return.
Your information in this site has been part of our topics, and these recipes will be put to use in our gatherings. I found your site by accident, or at least that is what I thought, maybe someone higher up then I had a hand in finding you. I love your writings and will continue to read your news and most helpful information. Thank you very much
