January 2008 ~ Newsletter

We hope that you had a Happy Christmas, and that the New Year will bring with it many blessings. It’s already been very cold and snowy here in Michigan, so I don’t know about all of you, but we’re ready to snuggle in for the winter.

I’d also like to remind you, that if you have any recipes or family funnies that you’d like to share with us, we’d love to include them in our next newsletter.

Please send them to us via email (lorid@porch-swing-memories.com) or snail mail (Porch Swing Memories P.O. Box 104 Leonard, MI 48367). And if you have a picture to go along with the recipe or story, we’d like to include that also.
