Look what showed up at my house today!

The postman rang my bell and left me all of this!!!
I wish I could tell you just how delicious all of these goodies are! The kolachy was divine! The other cookies were probably just as delicious, but I wasn't quick enough. LOL Son Seb said it was the best banana nut bread he has ever eaten. The potica exceeded all expectation! It was delicate and flaky and the nut filling is heavenly. Finally, Joe's sticky buns are even better than they look - and they look fantastic!!! (They were gone within 5 minutes of taking this picture!)

Thank you so much, Barb and JoeV. I wish I could find the right words because with every bite, I could taste the time and the effort and the love you baked in these things and it made me feel so special! I think Fisher said it best. As he watched me unpack all of these beautiful gifts, he looked up at me and said "Wow, Mom! You have the nicest friends. You're a lucky duck."

Thanks again, my friends,

signed,
a very lucky duck

Woo hoo. What a haul and from such nice people. Congratulations and Merry Christmas, FM.

Wow, FM, Barb and Joe - what a LOVELY spread!

Beautifully baked and beautifully presented and photographed! It all looks so wonderful! (Terry, the angel holding the dog works perfectly in that picture!)

Terry, tell your son that we think that YOU are the nicest friend YOURSELF, and that's why nice people are so crazy about you!

Merry Christmas, all!

Wow, Terry. Your photography even makes my sticky buns look good. Ironically, you placed the potica in its proper position, above all other desserts. You must have been divinely inspired, or you have some Eastern European blood in your veins.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. You do make a difference on this forum just by your presence.

Yes you do Terry (to every thing Joe said) and Joe, Barb you to are special too. Now Joe don't take that to last remark to serious, but your baking is seriously really, really good. Terry those sticky buns are great I ate more than my half of them when I got the care package from Joe and Barb when Buzz visited. Great stuff and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

THANK GOD it wasnt what I sent you

Joe, with the crap I've been through in my life, serious is not an adjective that would ever be used to describe ME!
