HOME– I am so full. I have been full since early September when we started this issue. Surely it’s time to turn over a new leaf and stop eating every pie in sight. I have twelve freshly grown grapefruit in my refrigerator, courtesy of my Uncle Bill’s tree. Maybe I can change the twelve days of Christmas into the twelve days of grapefruit and curtail this silly pie, cake and cookie fest before I turn into jolly ole St. Nick.

But, that’s not what we do now. Not yet.

In November and December, we eat every pie in sight. It’s the law.

Issue no. 8 was the Paper Apron’s biggest issue ever with over thirty-eight posts- a new record!

Wow. Just writing that reminds me that I’m tired, too. Full of good food and ready for a long winter’s nap.

Oh please. Who am I kidding? I am just getting warmed up! The winter brings us so many opportunities to look ourselves, straight in our frozen reflection, and figure out what the heck we’re doing with our life. And why, exactly, are we here.

But tonight, I’m just anxious to put up a new Issue header and get on with it.

So bear with me through Issue no. 9– one more month of sweet abandon and delicious over-indulgence. Hooray for the holidays!
