Didn't really post this message after midnight. Was actually 9pm :)

Welcome back ssommerville, and yes I remember you!

Ann is very generous with her knowledge and contributions to this forum.

Organizing the swaps is one example.

It does not surprise me that she would donate a cutting board to help raise money for your fledgling farmers market. Good luck with that fund raiser.

Thanks from me too Ann!

Di

Ann T is definitely a gem! Glad to see you post again! I use my pepper grinder you sent me in a swap often. Thanks again!

Teresa

So true, Ssommerville, so true. And, I remember you, too. I hope you continue to post again. It's good to hear from you. I also wish you well on your fundraiser.

Sally

Ann is very generous in every way and a wonderful friend to me for many years. I feel very fortunate to have found this forum and a life long friend, too.

Eileen

She does look out for us!

Good to "see" you back on the CF.

I also remember you, ssomerville, welcome back!

You are right, Ann T is helpful, knowledgeable and generous, she has helped many members here with advice and support. I'm not at all surprised that she'd donate to help out.

Annie

I remember you of course, because you were my swap partner! Fun. Yes, we are lucky to have our Ann T. She's been amazing about sharing all her recipes and cooking wisdom. How nice that she donated to you. I am sure that farmers markets are important to her, too.

And thank Moe! He is the artist behind those boards. Ann just keeps him fueled.

Agreed! Ann has virtually held my hand through a number of recipes. And having seen her cutting boards in person, I can tell you that they are works of art.

And it's nice to see you again.

AM

Thanks everyone for the welcome backs. Yes I hope to be posting more often again!

Of course I remember you, Ssommerville! Glad to see you again!

I think we all agree that Ann is irreplaceable and a wealth of knowledge and generosity!

We are indeed fortunate to have her among our friends and members of the CF!

Linda

You said it! Ann has always been extremely generous in sharing her time and talent! Not only is Moe a lucky guy, but we're lucky to have her too!

Welcome back to the forum and now that you're back, please stick around!

I'm glad to see you back too, SSommerville and you are right, Ann has helped and helped and helped so many of us here. There have been days that I couldn't even keep track of the number of times we exchanged phone calls. Ann, even beyond helping, you are an inspiration and a wonderful friend. It always makes me smile to read about you and Moe and Matt.

And lucky for all of us, there are many wonderful, helping, people on the CF.

Lee

Yes, Ann is a treasure and we sure know it. I am keenly aware of her contributions and the overall benefit that Ann's presence imparts. It's too long to reiterate right at this moment.

No question, Ann is the queen. Can you even imagine how different this forum would be without her?

Thanks Isr2002!

I've been meaning to post (with pics) but it's been so long since I've posted pics to this website I can't remember how :(

What I didn't tell you was, when Ann sent the donation item for the auction, which she had said would be a magnetic knife holder (which I was already over the moon about), because for one I wasn't an active member of this forum for quite a while, (so not sure she would even remember me, and even more thrilled when she did and agreed to donate to our silent auction), but two, the craftmanship on their work is just so amazing, I was thrilled they were willing to donate!

Well...when I received the package, which was somewhat of an excercise in patience and skill in opening! To my surpise and delight, not only did Ann and Moe donate a beautifully crafted magnetic knife board...but..they donated an equally beautifully crafted cutting board!!!
She also sent me a package of her amazing custom food photo note cards (for me, not the auction)! All that and the personal note she sent, brought tears to my eyes, litterally!

Anne, could of just blown off my email (as many other people I asked for donations from, who know me far better than Ann does, did), but she didn't. And she donated very expensive items to a relative unknown, just because I asked and then she sent something for me as well!

I don't have enough words, or thanks to let Ann and Moe, and everyone else know how much their generosity and kindness has touched and affected me. Not just with the Langley Farmers Market Donation, but on a personal level as well.

So thanks again Ann and Moe. (I have taken pictures of the boards and once I figure out how top post them again I will, though the pics don't do the actual items justice)!

Our Langley Farmer's Market and Long Table Silent Auction is on Monday the 25th (March). I will let everyone know how it went!

Thanks again Ann and Moe, from the Langley Farmer's Market and Myself,for your support and Amazing Generosity!

Oh Shelley, you are so very welcome. I've always loved farmers markets so both Moe and I are happy to support the Langley Farmer's Market.

I saw on the website that the Long-Table Dinner is sold out. I hope your silent auction is a great success.

~Ann

Thanks Ann! Me too :)
