I am sorry that I allowed so much time to elapse since my last post; especially considering the serious nature of the last post. Thank you to all of you who wrote such kind e-mails and posts in the Forum wishing Danny well. I am so grateful for your love and support!
I am pleased to say that Danny is doing well. We went to the doctor last week for a checkup. Kathy and I were worried when we saw the x-rays because the three vertebrae that are fractured are squished and bulging. The doctor said that they will never regain the original shape but he should make a full recovery...but then he gave him another 6 weeks of confinement.
Danny's going a little stir crazy. He seems pretty depressed too. Today was the first day of school. We're hoping that he will snap out of it when he sees his friends. Thank you again for your prayers and support! We feel very fortunate and very blessed.
I received a really fun e-mail from Rob recently that I just had to share:
"Hey Dan,
Just a quick note to let you know how Cook'n is doing great things. I have a man here in Myrtle Beach that does great woodwork. I have him make 4x6 recipe boxes that look like the old pirate treasure chest with a mahogany finish. I fill them with 600 of my best recipes from my Roberts Family Cookbook on the Dutch oven recipe cards. Let me tell you, I am not bragging, but it looks AWESOME!!!! I have made several of these for my family and friends. I made this one for a church auction to be auctioned off to send our youth on a ski trip this winter. When it was auctioned off it went for $500.00, that is enough to send 2 kids on the trip for the ones that can't afford it. I just want to thank you again for making such a GREAT product, not only has it helped me a great deal, but also helping others. I had two more church members tell me if I would make two for them, they would pay for 4 more kids to go. Is that a blessing or what? Cooking has always been a great hobby of mine and with your great software and recipe cards and my recipes, boy did that make us a winner again. Thanks again buddy. Have a great evening. Rob"
I asked him to send a photo of his recipe card box. I am anxiously waiting for the photos of the finished box. Way to go Rob!! :)
