Holidays

Having the holidays come up is really stressing me out. I know people always say that this is the hardest time when you experience a loss in your family. I can't imagine it getting harder than it has already been!

Ron found a "Curious George" CD that Ned burned for us whenever that was when it came out. It had fallen behind the computer desk. All Jack Johnson. Really sweet, mellow, calming and comforting songs. I wish I could just stay calm about everything. Vicki mentioned that maybe she'd just work through the holidays although I think she was only half serious.  Nancy is seven hours away and I don't know if she can come down here or we need to go up there. 

What I'd really like to do is  to have a cookbook release party for the Ned "Superman" Snyder Cookbook (I think the book will be ready). Mom liked the idea. People can make their dish from the cookbook or just come to eat. I can bring Uhuru Pies to it that people can order ahead of time.  I have brought them to our family holidays every year and Ned enjoyed these pies for the past sixteen years.  There's sweet potato, pecan, blackberry, apple, pumpkin and we even have vegan pumpkin this year (really yummy!)  Take a look.  It's a way to bring social change and justice to the holiday table, especially during these trying economic times. Better yet, sell 10 at your office and we will deliver them and I'll be your best friend!
