I found you way back in early 2000s and I missed you when you took a well deserved break. You & I share a birthday and I too have lost my husband, my rock, one year ago. I share so many of your lifestyle habits, I have your books and I’m looking forward to your cook book when it’s ready. Thank you for sharing your life and great life skills.

What you'll be buying is either a pdf or an ePub file that you print yourself on your home printer or read in a Kindle. That should be ready some time in May, I hope. 🫤rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-45289945568474906242024-03-15T12:44:16.999+10:002024-03-15T12:44:16.999+10:00I love having the comments back too.

So many don’t. I’m one of the lucky ones too. Two daughters, married, one with 2 little boys, good son-in-laws. They are the sons we never had and my hubby loves spending time with them. <br />It sounds like your days are full of what you like, you can’t ask for anything better. Any idea when your cook book will come out?

Even with my 10% WW discount Aldi came out cheaper so now it's my first shop again. I had wondered if it was as their prices had gone up like other places. I would not have done that without your recommendation despite being a long time SSer and minimalist. Be Blessed Penny Hippysaver.
