    Being an only child without any family remaining, I have to say that the first 7 minutes are what I really miss in my life. So thank you for allowing us (me) to live those moments vicariously through your videos!

    Her recipes look like mine....lots of years of love.
    Your baking together brings back memories. My mom, my sister, my very young niece & I use to get together & make Christmas cookies, all in one day & then divide them. We did that for years. My niece is now 42 yrs old & it's been a few yrs since we've attempted that. My mom is 98, I'm 75, my sister 60 & niece 42. Lots of yrs have passed but the memories are still there for all of us. Thanks for helping to bring back those memories.

    My mom was a fantastic cook and Baker. She had multiple recipe boxes filled with her recipe cards written in her terrible teeny scribble all up, down and around the cards. During the year after she died, i pulled out my and my sisters favorite 'mom' recipes. I typed them up but also copied the original stained, scribbled cards. Put those chosen recipes together and bound them with inexpensive spiral (one page with original and facing page with typed version). At her memorial service a year later, I put those bound slim recipe books out for my mom's relatives and friends who had come. It turned out to be a wonderful warm memory and conversation starter of great stories. My sisters and I still use that recipe book and often prefer to look at the pages with the original cards on it. Happy memories.

    Thank you for showing me the possibility of family and the joy it can bring. I have always wished for a family that at least gets along whenever they get together. Now that I'm older I know that will never be possible. Gatherings are always a chore, disputes always arise, and old grievances are always brought up. The holidays are a sad and depressing time for those of us who are never able to come together in peace with our family. Although it will never be possible for my family to unite in a way that is healthy and happy, I want to thank you for showing me that such a thing exists. Thank you for sharing your blessings with us. Happy Thanksgiving, Laura.

      Two things…First, I think most families are “bumpy” and this one is an exception. Second, I have noticed that the “bumpiness” is caused by different wave lengths of people’s point of view and not meant to be negative…but it sure seems like that!

    Laura, you can send your Kitchenaid back to the factory, and they will fix it, and make it run like new for you. I send mine in (circa 1960's) every 10 years for them to go over, and make sure it stays in it's prime condition. It's not very expensive, considering new prices to replace them.

    there have been some pumpkin recipes failures here in Canada because the ED Smith cans have been changed and now one of the top 3 ingredients is water (replacing oil) so know they are super watery and they didn't let consumers know, the only way you know is to look at the ingredients list! i know this sounds crazy but my cheesecake didn't bake and i don't want it to happen to anyone else!

    The best Christmas present my kids said they ever received from me was a binder I put together with all the favorite family recipes! I made notes on each one as to whose favorite it was and where the recipe came from. I also wrote a personal note inside each binder, reminding each child what they loved to eat growing up. The gift itself cost very little, but the time and and effort and joy I got from putting it together was priceless! My adult kids are now enjoying making memories with their own children in their kitchens…makes my heart feel good!
    Your arrangement and the snack table looks absolutely beautiful! Well done ladies! That was a lot of hard work, and I know the customers at Andrews just loved them!!

    Greetings, Kurth Ladies and Benjamin 👍
    I was watching so closely that I almost forgot to thumbs up 👍 and leave a note.
    The music 🎶 🎵 👌 was perfect today.
    I would be lining my pretzels up, just like Monica! I'm 72, but the youngest, too! 🤣
    As a retired florist I think on-site designing is far easier than transporting and needing to redesign to align the best visual angle 👍 Suggestion: You ironed the tablecloth and the tea towels. If you laid a few drop clothes down so you have an easier clean up and no stains to worry about. I learned that while setting up a BIG Black Tie affair with white clothes with Berries in each arrangement. Just a thought.
    Your arrangement and table turned out perfect 👍👩‍🌾👍

I also remember her trying to make pie crust but while my great grandmother was alive she'd push mom aside and take over. She did make the best pies. I still can remember the day mom pulled out the last pie granny made. Mom cried knowing that we would be having the last pie.

    You’re right Laura on the leaves taking longer to fall this year. It’s so nice to see you, Monica and your mom baking cookies and preparing for the open house. Benjamin is such a pleasure to see and my heart melted when he told you he loved you. Beautiful arrangement you made! Love it!

    You are so lucky to have a wonderful family who loves to spend time together. I laughed at Monica's statement of it would be a one-sided competition. I have the same personality.

    The arrangement is stunning. The use of such varied elements and your ability to meld them into a cohesive arrangement reflects your innate talent. So inspiring. Benjamin is such a little man, so happy and sweet. He always brings a smile to my face. Watching the three of you baking brought such such wonderful memories for me. So glad I found your channel. It has truly been a blessing in my life.

    I love going back and watching previous videos. I don't have a system, sometimes I search for something I'm looking for, like roses and sometimes its whatever comes up. Thank you for doing a great service for people like me that can't get out much anymore. I really wish we had a garden center like your family's. I could spend a week in there! Thank you!

    Nothing more precious than handwritten recipes! Laminate them so they are preserved longer. (Maybe run copies, too, and laminate for each family.) It has worked well for my go to recipes. The arrangement and family baking was a special treat.
