Welcome!! Welcome!! Welcome!!
Last year, Katie and I, talked about creating a recipe book of Grandma's recipes. Well, as you know, life happens, especially with kids, and we are just getting around to starting this project.
The idea is to have a book printed/published filled with Grandma and Grandpa's recipes, her children and grandchildren's recipes, favorite stories of her, pictures, poems you know she loved, lyrics from her favorite songs, quotes she used to say to you, or anything that reminds you of her and things that you know she loved.
I would like everyone of Bob and Virgie's posterity to be in on this. EVERY.ONE. and their spouses.
This blog will be private so, it will be safe for you to post these things, as only family members will be able to read this blog, and post. We've tossed around ideas of just Virgie's recipes and female family, and also of the whole family. I am going to be putting in a lot of time and energy into this, so personally, I would like to include everyone. Including the little kids. If your kids dont have memories of Grandma, let them color a picture. If you dont have a picture of your kids with Grandma, post one of them with Grandpa, or with their Grandma and Grandpa. (Like, Myka and Brandy or Myka and Danny, or Myka and Bob (just using her as an example...) Or let them draw a picture for Grandma and Grandpa. Just so long as everyone is included.
I also want personal recipes. If you make it for your family and they love it, post it. Even it is as simple as "Mummy Dogs made with crescent rolls and hotdogs", Or if you have a go to recipe for cookies, salads, dinners, whatever... post it! We area all going to be blog authors. Post recipes, stories, lyrics, pictures, everything. Post it all. Then when everyone has their things added to the blog, Katie and I will work on the editing, and we will print the blog in to a book! We are going to try to keep the cost as low as possible, but within reason. You obviously aren't going to get a hardbound, color paged book for $5. We will give everyone enough time and notice to get the money in for the books.
This is going to be a great way to honor Grandma and Grandpa and their love story. This is something that you will be able to use, and enjoy. This is going to be something that you can save for your kids and grandkids. (ie. Harrison and I will be ordering 3 or 4 books so that we can save one for each of our kids to enjoy later on.)

Get to posting! We would like to have this book completed by Grandma's birthday 2015. If you have any questions, feel free to call me, text me, or shoot me an email.
