Hi Lisa, so good to see your face and hear your voice this morning! Wishing you safe and happy travels this summer! Full of laughter and joy, time with family and friends, new tastes and new ideas. However, I am also wishing you time to be able to rest and relax. I am always in awe of all that you do, Lisa. You are a fabulous writer-this I know -and although I know nothing about baking ( except that I love to eat baked goods and I have a irrational fear of making my own pie crust lol) I can imagine you are an amazing baker too just from the passion-and the love-you put into everything you do. I once was a young woman , married and making my way into the world with a child trying to make it in the so- called man’s world and scrambling as a young family trying to make ends meet. Dealing with family health issues and the daily struggles that entails. Although I wouldn’t do anything differently lIt takes a toll. So take a breath and give yourself a hug. And, after saying all of that, if you are close to San Diego… let me me give you a hug! Love, Christine

Hello, and how wonderful to see and hear your sweet voice! I am sorry for your loss of your grandpa.

I wasn't aware you had workshops, and my, what wonderful locations too! I look forward to hearing more about them.

Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us.

Hi Lisa,

My condolence on the loss of your grandfather. What a blessing to have him for as long as you did.

I am traveling with my Mom in mid-June to Paris. I have been, but my Mom has not. This is her retirement trip and I am taking her along because I think everyone should see Paris once in their lifetime. Any food recommendations while we are there? And I also second the notion if you are in the San Diego area this summer, it would be great to catch you on your book tour. Or I will need to make it a road trip if you are further north. :)

Thank you!
