Ok, I admit it, I am torn between going toinght to the airport to see our son, who we have not seen since Christmas, and going to see Paula Dean. She is in town and signing books and it is driving me crazy not to go out and see the famous lady, who I hold right up there alongside “curling irons” and “Dr Pepper” But, think I will take the high road and go see our son. BUT……….do not think for one minute that he won’t hear about how much he is loved and what a sacrifice I have made to come see him, when he is passing through the airport for a couple of hours. I’m thinking that this surely will be good for a really great present come birthday, Mother’s Day or Christmas. Not only will I tell him what I could be doing at the time I am with him (oh, yes, and taking him homemade chocolate chip cookies), but this is good enough to carry on throughout the year, don’t you think? So it is important to let him know that not only did I choose to come see him, BUT…I am also giving up getting my PD cookbooks signed by her tonight. Boy, I would have made such a great Jewish mother, don’t you think? This guilt stuff I will be putting on him should be enought to maybe have his first child named after me, should it be a girl, if not, a boy would be kinda cute named, “T K” after Trudy Karren. Will have to drop that bombshell on him tonight, just to get the idea planted. So, Mr. Cameron, if you see a tear in my eye tonight when you get off the plane, know that it is because I am so glad to see you, and it will not be because of any thoughts of missing Paula, really!

Trudy, a Jewish mother would have absolutely nothing on you!! What I want to know is how he responded to naming child TK?
Hey, did you realize that you left the amount of butter out of the recipe for the date bread?? 🙂

Oh my goodness, thank you so much. The other day when you mentioned it, I just thought you were kidding about putting my regular stick of butter in everything, so thank you for staying on this. It has been corrected, thanks to my sweet Gladys! OK, it now has the butter in it. By the way, last night I made Randy oatmeal cookies with crushed pecans and instead of raisins, I added chopped dates to them and they are delicious. Cora came by and had some and she loved them…..
