Happy Birthday Lovella





It's Lovella's birthday today...

A milestone one I'm told, but I won't give away which one.
Suffice it to say she looks terrific.

She's also a great cook and has the gift of hospitality - to her family, her grandchildren, her friends and total strangers -
all of whom feel right at home with her.


Her blogging claim to fame is the acclaimed "Mennonite Girls Can Cook" recipe blog. If you haven't heard of it, you can find it here: http://mennonitegirlscancook.blogspot.com/

It's a great site with wonderful recipes and has resulted in a warm and supporting friendship circle among the women who contribute to it.


Thank you Lovella.

Have a wonderful birthday today and we wish you a fabulous year of celebration.

Sweet tribute to a sweet person. And I love that quote. Recently I realized that I am looking forward to meeting a lot of people when they are no longer old...won't it be fun to be at a "perfect" eternal age?

Bev.......... I could not resist responding to your note to Lovella since I found her about two years ago when I was looking for the perfect Paska recipe (which it is). Birthday Blessings to you Lovella......Shirlee

A wonderful 'card' for Lovella...and I am copying down that quote (I am in complete agreement!).
