Ladies and gentlemen... it's been a while. To answer the question that must have been keeping you up all night, the Cousin Club Receipts Project is not dead!!!
Corona Virus hit hard, especially in Las Vegas, NV, and it's been a long quarantine. While you might think that quarantine would be the perfect time to get some blog writing done, I found myself doing a whole lot of other things. Mostly, sewing masks and building an Etsy shop (shameless self-plug: Made By Maddy G).
But I have not forgotten the recipe book. I could never forget about it. Especially when I have Julia Weber and Jim Eagleson breathing down my neck (hahah kidding... kind of). I received a few messages asking about the project which was really just... delightful. It's something I started for fun but I am so glad others have enjoyed it!!!
Speaking of Julia Weber, she and Michael Lemley sent me a flash drive with photos and a really wonderful note from Michael. I only know so much about the Webers being of such a recent generation. I cannot truly express how grateful I am for those of you who have shared their stories and memories with me for this project.
And with that, I leave all of you awesome Weber readers with a call to action. Please, PLEASE keep sharing! Message me on Facebook or look up my number in the CC Handbook or shoot me an email (mggassmann@gmail.com) with a favorite story. Send me a letter if you need to (please help save the USPS, they are struggling).
In the words of Michael Lemley, "[our] history is noble, and [our] legacy is strong"
