Dear Reader,

Over 1,000 people entered the apron giveaway! Now that I know that vintage aprons are so popular, I guess I'll just have to get back on eBay and look for some more. (I've been looking for a reason to shop for vintage aprons--it's a tough job but someone has to do it.) I'm sorry that I only had 24 aprons to give away this time--well, make that 25. I did find one more apron in my closet to send to Anagha.

"Hi Suzanne, I read at your online book club almost over two years now. In those two years, I have moved from US to India, back to US and back to India again, but one thing that has remained in the moves is the book club!

Currently I live in India and usually pass all those Chocolate chip cookie giveaways with a sad face. But an apron is different, it is light, unbreakable and you are offering the 'vintage' ones. So let me ask you to please, please, consider my name for the apron giveaway. I promise the first thing I will bake using that apron will be chocolate chip cookies! It is great to read at the book club."--Anagha

(Suzanne responds:) Okay Anagha, an apron is on the way to India, so get those chocolate chips ready to bake cookies. I'll post a list of all the apron winners tomorrow. And I promise I'll have more aprons soon.

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

Warmest regards,
Suzanne Beecher

Thanks for posting the pictures of your trip to Tennessee. My parents just returned and went on the same train journey in Bryson City. I called them and told them about it after seeing your pictures. Thanks for the idea.
