Hi Marcie,

Thank you for your nice comments and thoughts. We are home safe and sound now. We were actually just talking about you because I joined in another swap and Devan said "hey why don't you try to get matched up with that lady that sent the good cookie stuff?"

I didn't know you had a blog. I'll be back more often! Oh, and I just got that recipe this morning. I'm obsessed with Gooseberry Patch!!
