Hey! It's me, EllynAnne, the Apron Lady, betwixt and between a moment of quietude, which I am utilizing to stop by and connect with y'all. Despite my absence, I've checked in often to read what's what and to marvel at the creativity, genius and lovely support that is inherent in this grouping. I also located the slip of paper where I'd jotted my password, an unearthing which Grace kept telling me would show up just when I was ready.
Since I last chatted with y'all, I completed my book and traveled to Kansas City for its photography. The shooting was 3 full days in a studio where there was an energizing environment so hip, I thought I was in a movie or something! Very exciting, especially compared the real world I inhabit.
One more thing to share: my national Tie One On Day is next Wednesday, Thanksgiving eve. In celebration of the humble apron and the spirit of women of earlier generations who have worn it, I'm
encouraging everyone to pause in the preparation of our own bounty, wrap a loaf of bread in an apron, tuck a prayer or note of encourage-ment in the pocket, and tie one on...an apron, of course!, and deliver the wrapped bundle to someone in need of spiritual or physical sustenance.
I honestly believe that no matter which way you turn out of your own front door, someone who is deserving of a hug is very close by. Lest we forget, women clad in aprons have traditionally prepared the Thanksgiving meal, and it is within our historical linkage to share our bounty.
If you "observe" national Tie One On Day, I'd love to hear of it.
Wishing y'all a yummy delicious Thanksgiving,
xxea

I bet you are so glad your new book is ready to go, I know we are all waiting for it. I tie one on everyday, but will tie on an extra pretty one next Wednesday!
So nice that you keep up with us here, we love having you.

My sisters will be here, and we will each "tie one on" and deliver fresh, warm loaves next Wednesday. What a great idea.
Wherever you go, there you are.

I will be joining in the "wearing of the apron" next Wednesday as well as Thursday.
Hmmm, I think I need to make a "Mister Apron" for my DH to wear while he helps washing dishes.
Yes ladies, I have a husband who helps out with the dishes and doesn't mind doing so.
EllynAnne, I love your suggestion about the sharing of an apron & loaf of bread and I have
just the family in mind.
Glad your "hectic" schedule is finaly slowing down,,,or is it? lol!
Hugz to you & your family.

What a wonderful idea EllynAnne! Of course I will be tying one on as I do each day. Wearing my Autumn apron in honor of Thursday.
Would this be book #2?
Hugs,
Denise

Hey Girls,
Be sure to get someone take a picture of you in your apron. It will be a treasure for your grandchildren or great-grandchildren someday.
And we can even share the pics with each other.

Hey there EllynAnne,
I did wear my apron on National Apron Day. Posted a picture (on my blog) of me wearing it, ever so briefly as I didn't want to stain it while cooking...I have my hard working aprons for my 'messy marvin' cooking. 
Sooooo, missy,,,,which one of your 100's of aprons did you wear?
hugz,
