Thank you, thank you!!!
I would like to show my gratitude to all of you who have been so supportive of my nomination for the CBS Chicago Blogger Contest. I have received so many wonderful comments and e-mails from you that have really touched my heart. Thank you! I really appreciate that so many of you are behind my message that families and “families of friends” need to eat together more often for so many positive reasons. So, whatever the outcome is on Sunday, please know that I thank you for your support and your votes!
Another “thank you” goes to Paula from California, who was the high bidder for the lovely, fine art prints by Jeff Kauck, that I auctioned to benefit, A Fund for Jennie. Enjoy them Paula, and know that you made a wonderful contribution to this event!
These bouquets are for all of you!!! Thank you, again!
In our hectic world, most of us can't commit to having dinner with our family/friends every night, but maybe we can start to put aside Sunday to be together and share our lives and good food. Let's join together to inspire others to celebrate our old traditions and create new ones.
