Feeding the Kids

 A few days ago I baked a lot of bread and sent it with jars of local apple butter to the kids for their after school snack.  They sure have become apple butter fans.

 Yesterday I made them a meat and cheese platter and sent it along with crackers for their snack.

 I also made them a big container of pumpkin pie dip that was served with schnickerdoodles and gingersnaps.
 
They sent me these.  One of the kids said....."I wish I could pay you for the time and effort you put into the amount of cooking you do for us.  The food is always wonderful and we appreciate it, me expecially because there are times when I miss meals at home but never went hungry because you always manage to whip something up for us."    Another kid said...." Thank you J-dog for the fantastic food you make for us.  Keep it coming!!!! 

I love these kids!

I had to check what schnickerdoodles are and it seems a lot of dogs and cats are called that because most photos shown on google pictures were photos of dogs and cats :-) :-)

You know Your work is apreciated when You get a nick name J-dog :-)

Have a great day!

J-dog, so cute! They sound like wonderful kids. Most wouldn't take the time to send a thank you note. These kiddos are worth more than the work you put forth for them. They really love what you do.

I know you don't do it for the accolades, but it sure is nice to know your many (delicious) efforts are appreciated.

Joyce, are the children from private school..or public school? Have they stopped having Cafeteria's in schools? I know a lot of things have changed..but I did wonder about that. I have always thought it would be great if children's had free lunches at school... I remember envying children that had lunch tickets..and I would see their trays loaded with mac and cheese and jello salads and fresh fruits. What you send to them is just plain magical...they will never forget your food. Mostly your will to share what you have. Wish the world was FILLED with folks like you that shared their good fortune. Thank heaven's for the ones that do.

That is amazing food you are sending off to someone. Would like to hear who these children are. I just assumed, when I started reading, that they were your grandchildren as it looks to be the type of thing grandmas do.
