...and I love it. It's going to be one of those books I read often, just for fun.

John hasn't been sleeping the last couple of nights; we suspect he's coming down with something. So I dosed him with a good broth (which I already knew how to do) and rubbed him down with Florence Nightingale's massage tonic: 1 c water, 1 c rubbing alcohol, 1 T epsom salts, and some aromatherapy oil. I used 15 drops of sweet orange. He was asleep before I turned the light out. And now I'm going to try it on my girls.

Pat Willard's writing style is charming, and I'm looking forward to finding a copy of her Pie Every Day, a title that has already cheered up John the pie-lover.
