I had a disturbing email from my brother's SO today.  They recently visited Hawaii and on the return trip Roger has become very weak.  He is due for back surgery February 4 which does not sound like a good combination with his condition.

 

Roy

Very sorry to hear this

Roy, I'm very sorry to hear your brother needs back surgery. That"s a biggie with a long recovery, depending on what type of back surgery. Prayers for his speedy recovery.

I'm sorry to hear this, Roy -- sending prayers for your brother's improvement.

Roy, sorry to hear of your brother's health problem.  Prayers for healing for all!

 

The quilt is gorgeous!  I truly can't imagine the detailed handwork that went into it.  I know the quilt that my GrandFather made was hand pieced, so when I got it quilted I insisted that it be hand quilted.  The quilt top is now over 80 years old.  I keep it on a bed in my spare room, and it is treasured!

 

This site is always so uplifting, and I think we all need this in these long, lonely days.

[rafinmd]

Thank you everyone.  Here's a look back at happier times:

Roy, I agree. Has your brother been tested for the virus? Two people I know who have had the virus started with that symptom.  Adding his physical well-being to my prayers.

I assume so, at least in conjunction with his travel.

@Overhead FredPecan Tassies?  Please share the recipe.🙂

 

It took some digging , but I found the Tassie recipe. Actually, I found 3 in mom's old recipe files and I am not certain which one she liked the best. They are all relatively similar. The first one is from our old neighbor, Gladys Baetz. Mom probably got the recipe when I was in elementary school -

The next two are from newspapers (the Pittsburgh Press most likely) and from her notes, I am guessing mom tried them both -

She always used a small muffin pan but I think Sandbakkel tins would also work well and might be a bit fancier looking in the end (we have not tried this yet; our sandbakkels are at our Canadian cottage!)

Yikes!  Hope all will be well! 

[puppycanducruise]

@Overhead Fred Thank you for sharing the recipes.  Oh my, a handwritten recipe card (and very legible 🙂).  I can't wait to make them but I have to make a trip to the grocery store first.

I have Sandbakkel tins!  I didn't know that's what they are called, but I have some.

I have (or had) some but I had no idea what they were either. Will have to check if I kept them, and try this is so. DH loves shortbread.
