It usually bothers me a bit when holiday magazine issues are on the stands and in my mailbox even before Halloween. Not so this year when
Midwest Living arrived.
Although it may look out of place with my harvest colored accessories, it was a delight to receive because right there on page 26 is a little article about my daughter. Of course it is a tribute to Alyssa and her blog to be contacted by the magazine after reading the post about last year's
baking party. More importantly though, the publication of Grandma
Ruesch's date pinwheel cookie recipe along with the story speaks to the special relationship the two of them shared.
Grandma, even though she reveled in grandchildren, would not have accepted any credit for inspiring Alyssa's caring spirit and success in the kitchen; she was far too humble for that. Anyone who knew both of them, however, knew that baking together was just one of the ways they worked and shared with each other. They really were a good team.
Midwest Living brought all that home right in my mailbox. What a welcome holiday gift!
