Can you pm with who you were before?

Thanks, Rosie! And I've never forgotten your kindness during some of my worst days. ❤️

Is there a pm feature here? I'm not positive who you are/used to be, and that's gonna bug me!

Thank you for the well thought out advice! I'm not totally sure I'm ready, but I'll read the overview and try to think it through. I know I'm supposed to be writing emails every week and sending them out to the members of my restaurant's rewards program, but I honestly have difficulty thinking of what to write because so many business things are sooo tough right now!

I found it!! Maybe it's time to resume, or possibly time to start over? https://busydessertgal.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/an-introduction-14/

I started a blog many years ago but don't remember anything about it and can't find it anywhere. 🤷‍♀️ I only used it once or twice. I think it was Wordpress but can't find it, lol.

Thanks, Jean!

Cjzimmer1, I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe and have found it useful! The dessert hobby certainly grew into a business, and I would never have anticipated way back then that I'd end up where I am, doing what I am. The restaurant business is TOUGH, especially here in California, where we are still not allowed to reopen for business. If I ever go out of business, I've toyed with the idea of writing down all of the recipes, along with a little bit of a memoir about the time I've spent and some of the interesting experiences along the way. As though the world does not have a million cookbooks already, lol!

Is it super weird that I miss having my post count show me as belonging here? 😄

Hi there! Fairfarmhand emailed me to say hello, and mentioned that a couple of people wondered where I've been and how I'm doing. I've been gone so long that my old sign-in didn't work! For whatever reason, I can't find the thread where that was mentioned, so I thought I'd update here. I hope the ones who were wondering about me see it. 🙂 My kids have all long since graduated from our homeschool. Out of my 5 kids, two are married so far, and I have 5 grandchildren. I started my own restaurant 6 1/2 years ago and though I don't make much money, I have found a measure of success in not going completely broke--at least not yet. Here is the facebook for the restaurant. It looks like links are not allowed, but maybe you can copy/paste if you want to see it. https://www.facebook.com/4thStCafe/ I was experiencing a really difficult time in my personal life before I left here, and though there are still ongoing complications and difficulties, I'm happy to say that we have been able to hang in there together so our kids had their home and both of their parents until they were adults. We are still together and there is still some potential for future happiness. We will see. So happy to "see" lots of the same people here! p.s. I used an adaptation of Quiver's cinnamon roll recipe as the base for the cinnamon rolls I make at the restaurant, and they are absolutely amazing still!
