Hey, Julie, I must tell you this. Do you remember your recipe for crispy potato casserole. I don't remember if I got it from the newsletter or from your blog. But the first time I made it, my family loved it.
Well, we do a Christmas morning brunch, and they requested that I make that egg dish this year. And now it has been requested to be the traditional Christmas morning breakfast!!
So, your newsletter or blog have helped give our family a new tradition. Thanks so much.
Love,
Patti
Lovely pictures. I noticed you are reading "The Hiding Place" with your boys. I read this book when I was a teenager, what an impact it had on me. Blessings on your day.
