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...!!!

Hello Permies!

If you haven't had a chance to hear my and my family's stories, please see the following threads:
Alexandra's SKIP to Homesteading
Harry's BEL Thread

As a new boot, it was brought to my attention that I should bring awareness to my BEL thread here on the Boots Love thread, but also reach out to the broader community with any recent requests for "Boot Love". Given that I have only been here for a little over a week, I solicited my companions for ideas and collated below:

1. Coffee -- all of the coffee
2. Chocolate - I prefer darker chocolates, but a mix would be great
3. Dog toys for the unofficial current boot mascot,, Cujo (see Esteban's BEL Thread)
4. Markers that are good for outdoors and for in the shop -- I have been surprised at how little options we have to mark lines, so anything on this front would be helpful. Example below:
Outdoor Marker Example

Thanks for all who have given in the past and continue to give! Your contributions show us boots how much our work is appreciated !
