Yes Nancy, it arrived and Paul picked it up earlier this week. Thank you so much for all the goodies. Fellow Boot Zach and I sampled the laverbread, and that kind of blew our minds. The biscuits went great with our homemade rhubarb jam, and disappeared way too quickly. We'll be chipping away at your generous bounty in the days ahead.

I'll have a closer look at those "pie spices" you included, and will likely find no other use for them but to drop them in the soil...

Once again: many thanks, Nancy...!!!

It is quite strong tasting, but so good for one! I gather mixing it into sort of oat crackers is one way to use it. I tend to use it in moderation in spinach type recipes.

The boots always have my back when I'm fiddling about at Wheaton Labs. A little sweet love goes a long way.

During my work tour travels in February '26, friend and fellow Permie James passed along this enormous jar of honey from his backyard behives. The team is well-stocked with honey these days.

Thanks for the sweet treat, James!!!

Permie staff Judith Browning and family granted me with these hand-carved wooden spoons for our use at the Fisher Price House. Both a classic wood spoon and a wooden scoop were gifted to us.

BIG Thanks, Judith...!!!

Opalyn stopped by during her trip across the country, and took a break from her projects to coach myself and the rest of the team - including Paul - through some sewing and mending projects.

Thanks for your time and for sharing your expertise, Opalyn...!!!
