That means I just have Doris Wills left to hear from. I know she has been doing some wicked hours in previous messages, so assume that is what has happened this month with her. She has always been good about sending before on everyother exchange, so I am sure I'll end up with one from her before it is all said and done. So far it looks like I will be drawing between you, Pat Knox, and Suzanne Pratt. hope more come tomorrow. I'll draw after work tomorrow.

I love historic areas with the old buildings and such. and you are definately right about it is not old fashioned home made bread if it is made by a machine. but I quess if you work and time is short it is a convience. I make three meals a day and some sort of dessert almost every day . My husband has a sweet tooth that never quits.. and of course I make me some sort of sugar free dessert.(and since there is no sugar in it he leaves it alone...Hurrah!)
