Jammin'?

Quoted message said:

Tomorrow Rob will go to the U for something and will bring a gift bag
for the Admin there who is so helpful to him. In preparation for that
bag and three others tomorrow and four more by Friday, I baked 8 loaves
of bread tonight and made another batch of toffee. I was going to do
another batch of mixed nut brittle tonight but got a reprieve -- there
will be time enough for me to do it in the morning. Last night I made
some apricot-peach jam for the bags, too -- most everything I made
during the summer is gone.

IBePooped.

Story: Today was the day to meet Favorite Niece Sandra for lunch and our
gift exchange. She makes spiced nuts for Uncle Rob, ethereal divinity
for me, and some other things. I gave her a very large decorative
container -- think oval copper washtub, but about 20" long/wide and 12"
high and a seasonal motif on the exterior -- FULL of food gifts.
Penzeys. Soup Mix. Homemade jams. Pasta. Nut brittle. Coffee. Et
cetera, et cetera, et CETera. Shrink-wrapped.

I picked her up at the hospital and she gets in the car and says, "You
won't believe this!" She forgot my gift at home and didn't remember it
AT ALL until leaving her OFFICE -- 'where's my bag for Auntie Barb?"

She liketa died!

She was just amazed by all the stuff because I did a fab job packaging
it. That's not my strong suit but this looked enough like a
commercially purchased item that the restaurant owner came over and
asked where I'd gotten it. I gave him my card. If there's a way to
make a buck, I'll find it.

Impressive! As always. You gotta a shrink-wrap machine?

You might have one, too, Wayne...you can do it w/ a hair dryer. You just
have to have the right kind of plastic stuff. Is that what you did, Barb?
Sounds like a really cool tub full o' stuff!!

Ezzackly. And the warehouse sale with the shrink stuff was three weeks
ago. I'm using last year's stash.

Barb, if Minnesota ever has an election pick a "State Person," to
represent your fine state, you would win hands down. I have no doubt
about it! I just love reading your postings! I can't wait to visit
Minnesota to see you if you're around and check out Lake Wobegon and
consult with the Ketchup Advisory Board! 🙂

Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas!

LOL! Hey, the Governor's wife held a dinner in my honor last June.
Pics are still on my site, I think. PHC was just in NYC. Too bad you
didn't get there to see them. Tim Russell works at the big AM station
here, too. He's pretty funny, Does a wonderful rendition of the shrub.

Actually, I saw Garrison Kieler about two months ago when he did a
charity benefit in a Philadelphia suburb. I had a great time! GK is
amazingly talented.
