A while back we hosted our first MGCC Summit, Sept. 2010.
We had planned this for months.
Many of us had not met each other,
but nevertheless, we knew how to have fun.
 | ||
| Cooking and baking and eating were the key events. |
After all this is what brought all of us together.
Over the past three years, we have been preparing recipes,
sharing our favorites with all of you, experimenting in our kitchens,
and sampling our menus with family and friends.

| We shared our stories of life as we cruised up the Harrison Lake. |
This little post office has memories for me from my last 35 years.
It is located in the heart of Rosedale, a farming based community of 2100 people.
I have used the services of this little post office for many years.

But never did I think that this would be a memory
that would last a life time.
It was Thursday, September 2, 2010 4:03 pm,
that 10 women crowded into this little country post office,
grinning from ear to ear in anticipation.

We were making history.
We all signed the dotted lines.....
And sent the document away.
Check out behind the scenes what we've really been up to.
